CAUTION
Do not bring the pH test liquid near a naked flame.
Doing so may cause the reagent to ignite, causing a fire.
Do not drink the pH test liquid or the water containing the test liquid or put in your eyes. (Keep these
liquids away from children.)
Failure to observe these instructions may cause health problems.
If the reagent or water containing it has been swallowed, drink volume of water; if it has made contact with
your eyes, rinse thoroughly with clean water and, in either case, consult a doctor.
Place the cap on the test liquid container, and keep it out of the reach of infants and toddlers.
Important
The color of the test water will change as time passes. Compare its pH level against the pH Chart right
away.
The pH level cannot be measured accurately using litmus paper available on the market. Be absolutely sure to
measure it using the pH test kit.
To dispose of the pH test liquid, dilute it with water before pouring it down the drain.
Note
The pH test kit is for measuring the rough pH level.
The main components of the reagent are ethanol, methyl red, bromothymol blue and phenolphthalein.
Depending on the water quality, the water treated by the Alkaline Ionizer may not be within the pH standard
range or the alkaline ion water may not be alkaline (a liquid which appears blue or dark blue may change to a
green or yellow color). If this is the case, take the following action.
Use "pH Fine Adjustment" to set the alkalinity or slight acidity to "Stronger". (See page 42.)
In addition, when the unpurified water is measured, the color of the test water may differ from what is on the
pH measurement table (due to the effects of carbonic acid or other components in the water).
If the pH level is high, change the water quality to weak alkaline or mix the water with purified water before
using it.
When the cartridge is new (about a week old), the pH level may be somewhat higher: this is normal and does
not indicate any trouble.
