Operating Principle

The water ionizer electrolyzes the common water to change its pH and ORP, then produces ionized water. During the electrolysis process, O2 and H2 are generated. Generally speaking, no chemical reaction can increase free energy. So water can not be decomposed into O2 and H2 under natural condition. But if cathode and anode are put into water and an electric current is applied, according to Faraday’s law, an electrolysis reaction will be brought. Usually the anode is made of platinum or other precious metal of platinum group, which is insoluble. The redox reaction between the cathode and the anode is as follows:
2H2O+2e-= 2OH- + H2 alkaline water with reducibility
E0=0-0.0591pH
H2O= 2H+ + 1/2O2 + 2e- acidic water with oxidative properties
E0=1.228-0.0591pH
When H2 and O2 are generated on the surface of cathode and anode, the water around the electrode will tend to be acidic and alkaline, with its ORP changed. Between the two poles, put a porous semi-permeable membrane which can limit water to transfer, or an anion-cation semi-permeable membrane which can let anion and cation pass selectively, then we can get acidic water with high hydrogen ion concentration and oxidative properties from the anode, and alkaline water with high hydroxide ion concentration and reducibility from the cathode. This is the operating principle of water ionizer. Now the name of water produced on the cathode and anode have not been unified. The ionized acidic water is also called LCD ionized acidic water, while the ionized alkaline water is also called LCD ionized reductive water.

How to Install

• Before Installation:
  The best way to install the water ionizer is wall mounting. If you would like seat mounting, please keep the place where the ionizer is seated dry and prevent water splashing on the machine.

  •  Choose a position: Above the sink, at least 1.5 meters from the fire, direct sunlight should be avoided. If the user’s special installing requirement goes against the normal use and maintenance of the ionizer, installation personnel should tell him/her the reasons.
  •  Test water pressure, then shut off the water valve. The following steps should be taken without water.
  •  Test power supply: Check whether power supply is in good condition.
  •  Check the water ionizer:(1) Check whether the panel is working normally. (2) Check whether the accessories are complete.

• Installation:

  •  Punch:
  •  User should choose a punching position where is convenient for replacing filter in the future. Mark the position.
  •  The holes should be level with each other.
  •  If you punch on tiles, please try preborn firstly to avoid damaging the tiles.
  •  External expansion screws should be fixed tightly.
  •  Connect water pipes:
  •  Check whether the pipes are aged or leaky.
  •  Make sure the ionizer is connected with cold water pipes.
  •  The pipes should be bound with Teflon tape. The connector should be fixed tightly.
  •  The pipes should be installed in straight lines and in a good shape. Use clamps to fix them.
  •  After installing the ionizer and filters, please check carefully to make sure it is at a horizontal position, firmly installed and easy for replacing filters.
  •  Apply power: Installation personnel should confirm whether there is earth wire in the user’s socket to keep electrical safety.
  •  Switch on water and electricity: Make sure the water ionizer works normally (installation personnel should debug the panel with clean hands).

Caution

Please carefully read the following items before using the water ionizer, and use it in a correct way. Otherwise the machine may be damaged or have negative influence on your health.

• Please do not use turbid water or the heavy-metal polluted water as inflow, for example, well water or underground water.
• Please do not connect the water ionizer with water heater and hot water (above 45℃) should not get in the ionizer. Avoid high temperature and direct sunlight.
• Please do not wash the ionizer body with water directly. Do not use volatile solvent to clean the ionizer body. Please wipe it lightly with soft cloth or a cloth smeared with suds.
• Please do not use aluminum or copper vessels as ionized water containers. Otherwise those containers will rust or change color.
• Please replace the filters in your filter system in time when their lives end up.
• Please disassemble the parts of the ionizer. Please do not plug up, bend or kink the top hose or the drain pipe. Please do not hang up the drain pipe to avoid water cannot go out easily.
• Every morning please let water flow out for more than 10 seconds before using the machine, in order to wash out the old water which stays inside. After using the ionizer, please use purified water to wash for 5 seconds before turning off the water supply in order to prevent scaling.
• Please drink the ionized alkaline water as soon as possible.
• Do not take medicine with alkaline water. Purified water will be appropriate.
• Do not drink ionized acidic water.
• Please pull out the plug when the ionizer has not been used for a long time.
• The length of drainpipe should not over 60cm.
• If the user plans not to use machine in a long time, he/she should unplug the power, and disassemble the water-separating valve and filters.

Trouble Shooting Guide

Problem 1: The power light can not light up or no display on the LCD screen.
Solution: Check whether the power supply is normal and the plug has been wired properly (if not, plug it again).
Problem 2: The machine beeps for warning.
Solution: When the machine beeps for warning, please observe the signal shown on the LCD screen. If “H1”is shown on, it means water temperature is too high. Please cut off the power supply and check whether the inflow pipe has been wrongly connected with the hot water pipe.
Problem 3: The buttons on the control panel do not work when you press them, but the machine can work normally.
Solution: Cut off the power supply and wait for one minute, then turn on power supply again. (User had better not share the power supply of the ionizer with other high-power electrical appliances, and keep the ionizer far from the appliances with strong electromagnetic radiation.
Problem 4: LCD screen does not light up and has no display.
Solution: The water pressure is too low to activate the machine to work. (When flow rate does not reach 250ml within 15 seconds, the water pressure is too low.) Please add a booster pump, or check whether the filters are blocked.
Problem 5: No water goes out from the ionizer.
Solution: Maybe it is time to replace filters. Please observe the data on the LCD screen to check whether filter life ends up. Check whether the flow rate of tap water is too slow. If yes, please turn it faster. Check whether the tap water pipes are frozen. If yes, please wait till they are unfrozen, then try again.
Problem 6: Alkaline water looks white and turbid.
Solution: It is a normal phenomenon. Many bubbles are produced during the electrolysis process, so that the newly produced alkaline water looks white and turbid. Please wait a while, the water will become transparent.
Problem 7: There are white suspended solids in alkaline water, or films are formed in alkaline water containers.
Solution: These things are crystals formed by calcium ions and carbonic acid gas in the air. The film is the solid component of calcium. Please use food-grade citric acid to clean. (If this phenomenon occurs, please contact the service personnel).
Problem 8: The outflow gradually becomes smaller.
Solution: It may be caused by the calcium crystals formed on the inner wall of water pipes. They make the pipe diameter get smaller so that outflow becomes smaller. Please contact the service personnel to clean the ionizer.
