Water quality

pH level of acidic water

Alkaline 4 

(Strongly Alkaline)

2.8 to 3.5

(pH3 or so when the “pH3” water 

quality indicator has lighted)

Alkaline 3

3.0 to 4.5

Alkaline 2

4.0 to 5.5

Alkaline 1

5.0 to 6.5

 

The pH level diff ers depending on the quality and 
volume of the water and pH fi ne adjustment level.

 

All fi gures given are for a water temperature of 20 °C.

 

This product cannot convert hard water into soft water.

 

The total volume of water coming out of the main spout, acidic water spout and drain outlet is given as the run 
through water volume and daily volume of water used.

Note 1:

  The water which can be used as alkaline ion water and weak acidic water is equivalent to about 80% of 

the fi ltration fl ow volume.

Note 2:

 This period may be shorter depending on the water quality and usage environment.

Note 3:

 This value is for a removal rate of 80% based on JIS S 3201 tests.

Note 4:

 This value is for a fi ltration fl ow volume of 50% based on JIS S 3201 tests.

Note 5:

 This value is for a removal rate of 80% based on specifi cation standard tests (JWPAS B standards) 

stipulated by the Japan Water Purifi er Association (JWPA). Note that the removal of iron (particulate 
form) and aluminum (neutral) are not stipulated as part of purifi cation capacity.

Note 6:

 This period applies when 30 liters of water are used a day. If 60 liters are used a day, the cartridge 

usage limit will be approximately one-half. The period may also be signifi cantly less depending on the 
amount of water used and on its quality and pressure.
