17 - pH-value measurement and optimal rate of flow
1. The pH value indicates the amount of H3O
+
-ions found in the water. The fewer the water contains, the
more alkaline it is. Alkaline activated water should be about 100 times more alkaline than tap water
(pH 7). It is therefore 10.000 times more alkaline than coffee or a fizzy mineral water and 1 million
times more alkaline than a lemonade.
2. Optimal drinking has been proven to be at a pH value between 9 and 9.5, these are the top limits of
the German drinking water ordinance. When starting your device you have pH indicator drops with a
colour scheme for you to measure and obtain the desired pH level with your chosen water. If
necessary, you can adjust the flow rate/per minute when measuring the pH. This is applied especially
when you have set the highest alkaline level and the desired pH values cannot be reached.
3. Even though there is no exact predictability of the ionizer results, because each type of water has a
different composition, as a thumb rule it is said to the achievement of a drink with a pH of 9-9,5:
- soft water up to dH hardness 9: Flow amount approx. 2,3 L/Min
- medium hard water dH 10 – 15:
Flow amount approx. 1,9 L/Min
- hard water dH 16 – 19: Flow amount approx. 1,6 L/Min.
- very hard water dH 20 - 24: Flow amount approx. 1,4 L/Min
- extremely hard water over dH 24: Flow amount approx. 1,2 L/Min
The desired water flow you can regulate with the flow regulator at the supply hose to the water tap or
with the small grey lever at the angle shut off valve under the sink.
•
You only have to do the test once for each water type, unless in your region you have strong seasonal
hardness fluctuations. You receive information about this from your water supplier.
It is easy to carry out the test: (Do not drink the test liquid and keep it away from children!)
• Draw a small amount, as pictured and add 2 drops of the indicator fluid.
• Compare the desired value with the colour scheme and adjust the water flow with the grey lever at
the angle shut off valve under the sink.
