Q&A (continued)
What should I do when I’m not going to
use the Alkaline Ionizer for a prolonged
period (more than a week or so as a
general guide)?
See P. EN39.
Do I leave the Alkaline Ionizer’s power on
when I won’t be using the Alkaline Ionizer?
Leave the power on even while you’re not using the
Alkaline Ionizer.
One reason is so that the electrodes need to be
automatically cleaned. Another reason is that the
volume of all the water which has run through the
Alkaline Ionizer will not be totalized if the Alkaline
Ionizer is used with its power off and, as a result, the
cartridge life will not displayed correctly.
What are the proportions of the water
that comes out of the main spout and
the water that drains out of the Alkaline
Ionizer?
See P. EN51.
What’s the maximum temperature of the
hot water that can be run through the
Alkaline Ionizer?
You can use hot water up to 35 °C. (P. EN23)
When you set the bypass selector on “Unpurifi ed” or
“Shower”, you can use hot water up to 80 °C.
Why has the “U25” code (end of cartridge
life due to clogging) appeared on the
LCD display before the general guideline
for when to replace the cartridge has
appeared?
“U25” will also appear when the volume of water
passing through the Alkaline Ionizer or its pressure
has dropped. (P. EN35 ~ EN36)
Check whether the water volume has dropped
because of a reduction in water pressure or whether
the water supply hose is bent or fl attened. Also, the
cartridge may already be clogged due to the kind
of water source used, in which case replace the
cartridge.
Why does the weak acidic water have
an odor (it smells like swimming pool
water)?
It’s because weak acidic water contains a lot of
hypochlorous acid. There’s no problem if you use it
as is.
Electrolysis causes the chlorine ions in the water to
collect in weak acidic water, forming hypochlorous
acid.
Will I get noise in my radio if I put a radio
near an Alkaline Ionizer?
Yes, you may. If so, move the radio away from the
Alkaline Ionizer.
Alkaline ion water
I’m a new user of alkaline ion water. What
steps do I need to take?
If you’re a new user, use the Alkaline Ionizer at the
“Alkaline 1” (Drinking water for new user) setting fi rst.
Use small volume (1 to 2 cupfuls) every day for about
two weeks to get used to alkaline ion water. Then
change the setting to “Alkaline 2” (Drinking water for
Experienced user) setting or “Alkaline 3” (Drinking
water in daily life).
Is it ok to take a medication with the
alkaline ion water?
Use the Purifi ed Water setting for the water to take
your medicine with.
You can use alkaline ion water for drinking, cooking
and purposes other than taking medicine.
What should I do if I get diarrhea or a
rash after I start drinking alkaline ion
water?
Stop drinking alkaline ion water, and consult a doctor.
While consulting the doctor, say that:
The alkaline ion water you’ve been drinking has
more calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium
and other minerals than tap water.
The water you’ve been drinking has an alkalinity
with a pH level of 8 to 9 (at the New Users setting).
I have kidney trouble. Is it ok for me to
drink alkaline ion water?
Consult a doctor before drinking alkaline ion water.
While consulting the doctor, say that:
The alkaline ion water you are thinking of
drinking has more calcium, magnesium, sodium,
potassium and other minerals than tap water.
The water you are thinking of drinking has an
alkalinity with a pH level of 9.5 or so.
How much calcium is contained in
alkaline ion water?
Due to electrolysis, there are 20 to 30% more
calcium ions in alkaline ion water than in the source
water.
