Troubleshooting (continued)
Is this a malfunction? (continued)
Symptom
Sounds are heard from
the unit after the faucet
has been turned off
There is a big
difference between
the water output
display and actual
output of water
When a dryer is used,
sounds are heard
from the unit
The pH level of
alkaline ion water
does not indicate
alkalinity
It is becoming difficult
for the pH level to rise
The weak acidic water
has an odor (it smells
like swimming pool
water)
84
Cause and remedial action
These sounds are made by the water inside the unit draining
off.
This is not a malfunction.
Are the acidic water and drain hoses bent or flattened?
If they are, straighten them out.
Is the height difference between the main spout and acidic
water spout more than 10 cm and under 50 cm?
Adjust the height difference to a value ranging from 10 to
50 cm.
Have you set the height difference between the main spout
and acidic water spout?
Set the height difference.
If there is still a big difference between the water output
display and actual output of water even after taking the
above action, follow the steps of "Correcting the water output
display".
Sounds may be heard with some dryers.
This is not a malfunction.
Is "Alkaline" set for the water quality (or has "Weak Acidic" or
"Purified Water" been set)?
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. Using "pH fine adjustment", set
the alkalinity to "Stronger" for use.
Are the acidic water and drain hoses bent or flattened?
If they are, straighten them 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
weak acidic water, forming hypochlorous acid.
This is not a malfunction.
