How long do the alkaline ion water and
purifi ed water “keep”?
Use it within 24 hours at room temperature.
When alkaline ion water is produced, the chlorine
(sterilizer) in the tap water is removed off , making it
easier for bacteria to proliferate.
Even when storing alkaline ion water in the
refrigerator, keep it in a clean sealed container, and
use it within 2 days.
Also use weak acidic water within 2 days.
Can I use alkaline ion water to make
ice?
Yes, you can.
Use the ice made from alkaline ion water in the same
you would with the ice made from tap water.
If you store alkaline ion water in the tank of a
refrigerator equipped with an automatic ice-making
function, change the water within 2 days.
What else can I do with alkaline ion water
besides drinking it?
You can use it for cooking, making rice, making
tea or coff ee just as you would with regular water.
(P. EN18)
What is the white powder that’s deposited
on the inside of the kettle and thermos
fl asks?
It’s the calcium from the water.
There is no problem if you drink the water, but if it
bothers you, clean the containers concerned. If the
white powder is not removed by cleaning, obtain
some citric acid from a pharmacy, mix 50
g
with 1
liter of water, leave to soak in the containers for 2 or 3
days, and then rinse the deposit off .
What is the white stuff that fl oats in the
water which is produced when ice made
using alkaline ion water has melted?
These are minerals contained in the water.
When water is frozen, the minerals solidify on the
surfaces of the ice. There is no problem if you
swallow the white bits.
When I use alkaline ion water to cook
rice, the rice becomes sticky. What can I
do about this?
The rice may be sticky or yellow depending on
the amount of water and the type of rice and rice
cooker used. Either reduce the pH (hydrogen ion
concentration) level of the alkaline ion water or use
the Alkaline Ionizer at the “Purifi ed Water” setting.
What kind of water should babies be
drinking?
Water produced at the “Purifi ed Water” setting is
recommended for babies.
As babies are weaned, start using alkaline ion water
gradually with the “Alkaline 1” (Drinking water for new
user) setting.
Cartridge
I’ve been using the cartridge for over a
year and the replace cartridge display
has still not appeared. Does this mean I
don’t have to replace the cartridge?
You should replace the cartridge.
Although it has seen less use and its fi ltering
performance is still satisfactory, its activated carbon
may deteriorate rapidly due to changes in the water
quality or other factors so replace it after using it for
a year.
I want to replace the cartridge.
What type should I use?
Use the cartridge with the TK-AS45C1-EX model
number.
Acidic water
What is the pH level of the acidic water
which comes out of the acidic water
spout while alkaline ion water is coming
out of the main spout?
See P. EN51.
