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
diff erence 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 diffi cult
for the pH level to rise
The weak acidic water
has an odor (it smells
like swimming pool
water)
White suspended
matter is mixed in with
the alkaline ion water
Not much water comes
out of the Alkaline
Ionizer after the
cartridge has been
replaced
Water drips or trickles
out of the main spout
even when the water is
cut off

Check following point
 These sounds are made by the water inside the unit draining
off .
 Are the acidic water and drain hoses bent or fl attened?
 If they are, straighten them out.
 Is the height diff erence between the main spout and acidic
water spout more than 10 cm and under 50 cm?
 Adjust the height diff erence to a value ranging from 10 to
50 cm.
 Have you set the height diff erence between the main spout and
acidic water spout?
 Set the height diff erence.
 If there is still a big diff erence 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
"Purifi ed 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 eff ects of carbonic acid in the
water).
(This is not a malfunction. Using "pH fi ne adjustment", set the
alkalinity to "Stronger" for use.)
 Are the acidic water and drain hoses bent or fl attened?
 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.
 Electrolysis causes the chlorine ions in the water to collect in
weak acidic water, forming hypochlorous acid.
(This is not a malfunction.)
 This is calcium which has built up inside the Alkaline Ionizer.
(It can be used.)
 Did you fl ow water for 3 to 4 minutes? (This is necessary to
expel air inside the cartridge.)
 The water inside the outlet pipe is being expelled.
(This is not a malfunction.)
