1. Turn off power to the ionizer by pressing the circle side of the power
switch located at the bottom of the ionizer.
2. Release the
#2 filter
cover
(located on the left side when looking at the
back of the ionizer)
by pushing up on the filter cover. Remove cover.
3. Remove the
#2 filter
by twisting the filter counter clockwise and then
lifting it out of the ionizer.
4. Remove the clear plastic packaging and black cap from the bottom of the
Citric Acid (Scaling) Cleaning Filter.
5. Before installing the filter, lube up the large outer O-ring with either
olive oil or vaseline. Line up the 2 tabs on the filter to the filter base in
the ionizer.
6. Once you have aligned the tabs on the filter with the ionizer, press down
and twist the filter clockwise until it stops. Make sure the circled number is
facing out toward you. If not, the ionizer will not run.
7. Replace the cover and turn the power switch back on.
8. Apply water pressure, press the
“ON/OFF”
button and produce water for
15 seconds. Press the
“ON/OFF”
button to stop extraction. For counter top
applications, remove the acidic tube from the sink and fasten it to the ion-
izer ensuring that the cleaning solution will not leak out of the ionizer.
Now let the unit sit for a minimum of 6-8 hours or for best results, over-
night. The unit is full of a citric acid solution that will take many hours to
break down the scale that has built up in your unit. Letting it sit in the unit
for over a 6 hour period is okay and will not harm the ionizer.
9. Once the unit has sat for the recommended time, (leaving scaling
filter in place) unfasten the acidic tube from the ionizer and place it back in
the sink (for counter top applications) and then press the center
“ON/OFF”
button. Let the unit extract water for 3-5 minutes. This step will purge all
of the citric solution, along with any scale, out of the machine.
The cleaning process is now complete. Remove the scaling filter and
throw it way or recycle it and reinstall a #2 filter with the circled number
facing out toward you.
NOTE: If you are putting in any new filters, do so after the cleaning.
