Instructions for Cleaning the Electrode Plates
• To insure continued optimum water ionization, it is necessary that you clean the C7 ionization engine (electrodes)
every 2850 gallons . This is accomplished using a cleaning cartridge that contains citric acid. Citric acid is a common
food additive that poses no health risks.
• This cleaning process requires that you (1) remove the expired water filter (2) install the cleaning cartridge and (3)
briefly operate the C7 to introduce the citric acid into the ionization engine. The citric acid must remain in the
ionization engine for five (5) hours to insure complete cleaning.
• After the cleaning process is completed, you will install a new water filter and then you can again produce and enjoy
high quality ionized water.
• Disconnect the C7 power cord.
• Remove the water filter cover. Press the tab on the side of the cover. Swing the
cover on its hinges and remove it.
• Remove the old water filter cartridge by turning the filter cartridge counter
clockwise as far as it will go.
• Lift the cartridge out of its seat. It might require some slight “side-to-side”
movement to help loosen the cartridge.
• Install the cleaning cartridge. Insert the cleaning cartridge all the way into the
filter cartridge seat. Turn the cartridge clockwise until it will no longer turn.
• Insert the cork plug (provided with the cleaning cartridge) into end of the 3/8” gray acid water drain tubing (the tube
attached to the suction cup).
1.
• Position the ionized water delivery hose (attached to the top of the C7) so
that the spout on the end of the hose is HIGHER than the body of the C7.
Bend the end of the hose so that the spout is in a down position.
2.
• SLOWLY turn the water ON.
NOTE:
You may need to physically hold the lever on the faucet diverter valve in the out position as there may not be enough water
pressure to automatically keep the lever in the “on” position.
NOTE:
Hold a glass or cup under the spout to catch the water coming out of the hose.
Instructions for Cleaning the Electrode Plates, continued
• Adjust the water flow until there is a rapid sequence of drops coming out of the ionized water output hose.
• Let the water run (DRIP) for about ONE minute. This will insure that the ionization engine in full of cleaning fluid
(citric acid).
• Turn the water OFF. Let the C7 sit (unused) for 5 HOURS.
• After 5 hours has passed, remove the cork plug from the gray acid water drain tubing.
• Remove the cleaning cartridge. Turn the cleaning cartridge counter clockwise as far as it will go. Lift the cartridge out
of its seat.
• Discard the cartridge (the cartridge is designed to be used only once).
• Reinstall the filter or replace the filter if needed. Insert the filter cartridge
all the way into the filter cartridge seat. Turn the cartridge clockwise until
it will no longer turn.
• Replace the filter cartridge cover. Position the taps on the cover into the
slots on the body of the C7. Close the cover, securing the plastic latch.
• Reposition the ionized water output hose (on top of the C7) so that is
again pointing into the sink.
3.
• Reconnect the C7 power cord
• Turn the COLD water on FULL. Pull out the faucet diverter valve PIN to route water to the C7. Let water run through
the water ionizer for 3 minutes. This will fill the new filter with water and flush out any residue citric acid from the
ionization engine.
• RECHECK the water flow rate through the C7. Adjust the water flow (ball) valve (located between the faucet head
diverted and the C7 water IN connector) so that the water flow rate on the LCD display reads somewhere 2.3 and 2.8
liters/minute.
• Reset the filter life count if you replaced the filter with a new one.
