Q
Who should drink Ionized Alkaline Water?
A
People and pets can drink Ionized Alkaline Water.
Q
Is there anyone who should not drink Ionized Alkaline Water?
A
Some people must start by drinking very small amounts of Ionized Alkaline Water, such as 8 oz. of
strength level 1 (one) per day. Children 3 years and younger should not drink Ionized Alkaline Water.
They may only drink the purified water from the Ionizer.
Children between the ages of 4 years and 12 years should only drink Ionized Ionized Alkaline Water at strength
level 1 (one) and strength level 2 (two).
Children between the ages of 4 and 12 years of age should never drink Ionized Alkaline Water at strength
level 3 (three) or strength level 4 (four).
Q
Should I take medication or supplements with Ionized Alkaline Water?
A
Due to the superior quality of ionized, alkaline, water and its enhanced hydration capabilities,
we do not recommend its use for 30 minutes before and after with prescription or over the counter medications.
However, we highly recommend its use with vitamins, supplements, nutritional powders and other
nutraceuticals because of its superior quality and enhanced absorption capabilities.
Q
Can a person become too Alkaline from drinking Ionized Alkaline Water?
A
People have been known to drink as much as 1 to 2 gallons of Ionized Water every day without a problem.
It is rare for a person to acquire Alkalosis, the condition of being too Alkaline.
Q
How much water should I drink and at what level?
A
At a minimum, you should drink half your bodyweight in ounces per day.
For example, a person weighing 100 pounds should drink 50 ounces.
You should start slow at strength Level 1 (one), drinking 1-3 glasses per day for the first week.
You may increase the number of glasses per day during the first week if you do not notice any side effects.
If you do not feel any flu-like symptoms at the end of the first week, move up to strength Level 2 (two).
On strength Level 2 (two), drink 1-3 glasses per day for the first week.
You may increase the number of glasses per day during the first week if you're feeling good.
On average, two to three weeks per level; work your way up to a 10.5 pH (strength Level 4 (four).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q
Why do some people have flu like symptoms when first drinking Ionized Alkaline Water?
A
If you start drinking Ionized Alkaline Water at too high of a strength level (high pH level) then you might notice
flu like symptoms.
These symptoms are mild and they clear up in about a week.
This effect is typically noticed by people whose bodies have accumulated toxins in them.
Q
How does Ionized Alkaline Water affect athletes?
A
Many athletes alkalize their bodies prior to working out.
Alkaline water can help. Additionally, drinking alkaline water during workouts is a great way to stay hydrated.
Numerous studies conducted on athletes since the 1940s have demonstrated that even mild dehydration
impairs performance. Dr. Peter L. Kopko, D.C., recommends drinking 13 to 20 ounces (2-3 cups) of water
2 hours before exercise and 5 to 10 ounces (about 1-2 cups) every 15 to 20 minutes of exercise,
depending on your total body weight.
Q
How long does Ionized Alkaline Water stay Ionized?
A
The Antioxidant (hydroxyl ions) will last approximately 18-24 hours.
The Higher pH (Alkaline properties) will last approximately 1-2 weeks.
Q
Does Ionized Alkaline Water have any negative effects?
A
Absolutely none, as long as it is used properly.
Only the Ionized Alkaline Water should be consumed.
NEVER DRINK THE ACIDIC WATER.
Q
How do I know when the filter needs replacing?
A
An LED or counter indicator on the front panel gives an indication of remaining filter life.
Generally the 1st filter will last for about 8 months, the 2nd filter for about 12 months (when up to 2.5 gallons
of water is produced per day), but this depends on the source of water and the amount of use.
For example, if your tap water contains between 0.4 and 1.0 ppm (parts per million) of chlorine, a filter can
last 12 months for one person's use.
If greater than 1.0 ppm, the filter may last 8 months.
By changing your filters at regular intervals at least once a year, you are assured of the quality of your water.
Q
What should be done if the machine is not to be used for 7 days or more?
A
Remove the filter from the main body, wrap in plastic wrapping, and store in a refrigerator.
Remove the power plug.
When ready to use again, install the filter and run in the Ionizer in the 'PURFIED' mode for approx.
3 minutes before using the water.
