• MOST IMPORTANT:  Begin drinking high pH ionized water slowly, as it is very detoxifying.  Start by drinking water from the “Low pH Level” and each week increase in pH strength until you are at the highest pH of 9.5 or 10.  Classic detox symptoms include headaches, rashes, diarrhea and flu-like symptoms.  If you experience any of these reactions, lower the pH level for several days until the symptoms subside and then begin slowly increasing the pH level until you reach the highest pH level. Ideally, drink 1 quart of water for every 30 lbs. of body weight.
• Never drink the acidic water - it's used externally, as a gargle and for brushing your teeth.
• Never let hot water run through the water ionizer.  Serious filter and ionization cell damage will result.  Body temperature is the warmest acceptable temperature.
• Be certain to take medications with the “Purified Water” setting only (neutral pH of 7) as alkaline water will increase the potency of many medications.
• Ionized water ideally should be consumed fresh from the water ionizer.  It is at its strongest pH and ionization when you drink it immediately.  It can still be consumed hours and even days after being prepared, although the benefits will decrease with time.
• Water will have the strongest pH and the most ionization if the water pressure is slow, approximately 2 liters per minute as displayed on the bottom left of the LCD screen or so that it takes 20-30 seconds to fill an 8 ounce glass.  You will see many tiny bubbles in the water to indicate the ionization.
• Twice daily a blue light will flash on the display indicating that a cleaning cycle will occur when the machine is turned on the next time.  There will be a beeping sound until the cycle is done.  Do not drink the water during this time.  This cleaning cycle cleans any accumulation of minerals that adhere to the ionization plates by reversing polarity to repel the minerals.
• Please refer to your Water Ionizer User Guide for information as to the benefits and uses of alkaline and acid waters for further instructions and information.
• Please refer to the User Guide included with your ionizer for instructions on how and when to replace the filter.
• If not using the water ionizer for a week or more, unplug the unit and remove the filter, let it drain and store it in a clean plastic bag in the refrigerator (not the freezer).  When you re-install the filter let the unit run for about 5 minutes before you drink.

Install your water ionizer at any sink in your house, most common is the kitchen or bathroom.  The diverter lever easily switches between your tap water and the ionized water.  The water ionizer can sit on the counter, on some windowsills or pass-through, or it may be mounted on the wall with the bracket supplied.
