Tips on operating the Alkaline Ionizer (using it to suit the intended application)
Purified water:
This is filtered water which contains
minimal impurities.
Applications
Medicine, baby formula
The water has not been subjected to
electrolysis.
(for taking medicine or
diluting baby formula, etc.)
What is the pH level
(ion concentration)?
The pH level indicates the degree of alkalinity,
neutrality or acidity of water (aqueous solutions),
and stands for “hydrogen ion exponent.”

Alkaline ion water:
The pH level of alkaline ion water increases by about 0.5 per setting in the following sequence:
Alkaline 1 → Alkaline 2 → Alkaline 3 → Alkaline 4 (Strongly Alkaline). In these instructions,
“Alkalines 1 to 3” are collectively referred to as “Alkaline”.
Keep the amount of water consumed daily at around 0.5 liter to 1 liter at the “Alkaline 3”.
Application
pH standard
Acidic water:
When is pressed and the flow is
reduced at the faucet, acidic water with a pH
level of 3 or so comes out of the acidic water
spout.
(For removing tea stains from tableware, odors
left behind by cooking fish dishes, etc.)
pH standard
2.8 to 3.5*
Ʃ When the pH3 water quality indicator lights
up.
Weak acidic water:
The mild acidity of this water is close to
the acidity of the human skin.
Application
Washing the face

When removing the astringency from burdock and devil’s tongue
(“konnyaku”), parboiling spinach, etc. (Do not drink this water.)
For coffee, black tea, green tea, boiling or stewing food,
cooking food in pots at the table, soups
When cooking rice
When starting to drink alkaline ion water
(first two weeks or so)
