Panasonic TK-AS40 Instruction Manual page 60

Symptom
Sounds are heard
from the main unit
after the faucet has
been turned off
When a dryer is used,
sounds are heard
from the main unit
The pH level of
alkaline ion water
does not indicate
alkalinity
It is becoming difficult
for the pH level to rise
The acidic water has
an odor (it smells like
swimming pool water)
Cause and remedial action
These sounds are made by the water inside the main unit
draining off.
This is not a malfunction.
Sounds may be heard with some dryers.
This is not a malfunction.
Is "Alkaline" set for the water quality (or has "Acidic Water" or
B 本体 の水を排水している音です。
"Purified Water" been set)?
故障ではありません。
Switch to "Alkaline" using one of the water quality selector
buttons.
Depending on the water quality, the water's alkalinity may not
be indicated (because of the effects of carbonic acid in the
water).
This is not a malfunction. Switch the water quality to a
setting with a stronger alkalinity, and adjust the faucet to
reduce the flow of water through the unit.
Is the drain hose bent or flattened?
If it is, straighten it out because otherwise electrolysis will
not be performed properly.
Calcium has built up inside the Alkaline Ionizer, causing a
deterioration in the electrolytic performance.
This is not a malfunction.
Electrolysis causes the chlorine ions in the water to collect in
acidic water, forming hypochlorous acid.
This is not a malfunction.
