Before use
Isn’t it possible to use underground water for the Alkaline Ionizer?
Underground water cannot be used.
The quality of underground water is unstable, so please use the tap water.
What is the point of the eff ects that the properties of source water (tap water) have on the
water produced by the Alkaline Ionizer?
Consult the table below.
The water obtained using the Alkaline Ionizer may not be suffi ciently alkaline if the water has a high carbonic acid
content.
In a case like this, boil the alkaline ion water to remove the carbonic acid and obtain the intended alkalinity. Also, in
areas where the hardness of water* is high , the water may be turbid and white.
With underground water or source water containing underground water, set the alkalinity to “Stronger” using the “pH
fi ne adjustment” since alkalinity may be hard to obtain when using the Alkaline Ionizer.
Coastal areas,
islands
Hot spring areas
Water with a high
concentration of carbonic
acid (underground water)
Hard water
Soft water
Properties of
source water
Salt water may
be mixed in
with the source
water.
The source water
contains sulfur so it
tends to be acidic.
Carbonic acid gas is mixed in
with the source water which
tends to be acidic; the water
has a high concentration of
minerals so it is easier for
electricity to be conducted.
The water has a
high concentration
of minerals so it is
easier for electricity
to be conducted.
The water has a
low concentration
of minerals so
it is diffi cult for
electricity to be
conducted.
Properties of
electrolyzed
alkaline ion
water
Tends to more
alkaline.
Tends to make
alkaline ion water
more neutral due to
the sulfate ions.
Tends to be more neutral
due to the carbonic acid gas.
Tends to more
alkaline.
Tends to less
alkaline.
Points on
using alkaline
ion water
Use the “Milder”
setting for the
alkalinity.
Use the “Stronger”
setting for the
alkalinity. Reduce the
fl ow of water at the
faucet so that only a
small volume of water
is run through the
Alkaline Ionizer.
Use the “Stronger” setting
for the alkalinity. Reduce the
fl ow of water at the faucet
so that only a small volume
of water is run through the
Alkaline Ionizer.
Use the “Milder”
setting for the
alkalinity.
Use the “Stronger”
setting for the
alkalinity. Reduce
the fl ow of water at
the faucet so that
only a small volume
of water is run
through the Alkaline
Ionizer.
*: Hardness of water:
Whether water is classifi ed as hard or soft depends on the concentration of the calcium and
magnesium in the water.
During use
I just drank some acidic water by mistake.
It is OK?
Small quantities (a glassful or so) will not cause any
problems.
However, you should not keep drinking acidic water.
If you have drunk large quantities by mistake and do
not feel well, consult a doctor.
Will the Alkaline Ionizer remove lead
(soluble lead) from the water?
Yes, it will.
What does a service life of 850 hours for
the electrolyzer mean?
This fi gure represents the total time that electrolysis
can be performed by the electrolyzer, and it means
that the electrolyzer will last for about 7 years when
the Alkaline Ionizer is used for 20 minutes a day.
The electrode plates are worn down by the electricity
passing to the electrolyzer. If the “H31” code appears
on the display, it means that the electrolyzer has
come to the end of its service life. Ask your dealer to
replace the electrolyzer.
