How long do the
alkaline ion water
and purifi ed water
“keep”?
Use it within 1 day 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?
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.
White substances fl oat
in water where 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.
What else can I do
with alkaline ion water
besides drinking it?
You can use it for cooking, making rice, making tea just as you would
with regular water. (P. EN25)
When I use alkaline ion
water to cook rice,
the rice becomes
sticky
Either reduce the pH level of the alkaline ion water or use Purifi ed Water.
The rice may be sticky or yellow depending on the amount of water and
the type of rice and rice cooker used.
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.
What kind of water
should babies be
drinking?
We recommend you to start drinking from purifi ed water.
As babies are weaned, start using alkaline ion water gradually with the “Alkaline 1” setting.
(Because infants have less developed stomachs and intestines than adults.)

What is the hydrogen
concentration
displayed when alkaline
ion water is used?
It is the amount of hydrogen (guideline) that occurs at the
electrode while alkaline ion water is generated.
How long will the
produced hydrogen stay
in the alkaline ion water?
The molecular of hydrogen is very small, therefore, it will reduce by a half in
2 days even if it is placed in a closed container, such as PET bottle.
In non-closed container, all the hydrogen will outfl ow in one day.
For heated situation, the hydrogen will evaporate at the same time of boiling.
