M9/M9 UC NG

Many locations have excessive mineral content in the source 

water that can build up inside the ionizer over time and cause 

blockage. A routine acidic cleaning of the ionizer chamber

can help maximize the life and performance of your ionizer by

reducing the build-up of these minerals.

In areas with heavy mineral content, this is recommended once 

a week. It is also recommended to do this procedure in the eve-

ning as it takes several hours to be effective.

• Run the ionizer on acid level 2 for one minute.

• Turn off the source water to the ionizer.

• Let the water “soak” in the chamber overnight (several hours).

• Run the unit again on acid level 2 to rinse the minerals from  

  the machine.

• Return the unit to normal operation.

Note:  If this does not work, you will need to purchase 

a scaling filter (Citric Acid Cleaning Filter) to clean the 

internal workings of the machine.
