We recommend you to contact the plumber of your choice. Using the quick release fastener The connection parts of the ECAIA ionizer S have quick release fasteners to simplify the installa- tion of the water pipes. The procedure below describes how these quick release fasteners op- erate.
Temporary connection to the water tap The ECAIA ionizer S can be connected to any water tap using the diverter valve (A-9), provid- ed that the water tap has a compatible standard thread (internal thread M24, external thread M22).
Permanent connection to the angle valve (appliance in above-counter position) The ECAIA ionizer S can also be attached to the angle valve (3/8") under the sink. If the device is placed above the working surface, the tap water supply hose (A-6) must go through a hole made in the working surface or sink with a diameter of at least 6 mm.

(A-6) to the quick release fastener opening of the water inlet (B-11) on the bottom of the ECAIA ionizer S and fix the safety clip 1/4 "(A-11). 5. The water pressure can be adjusted with the adjustment...
ECAIA ionizer S wall mounting The ECAIA ionizer S can be placed standing or mounted to the wall. Wall mounting is very easy and the ECAIA ionizer S can thus be positioned in any kitchen, next to or behind the sink, to save space.
Assembly of the alkaline outlet hose and the acidic water tap For reasons of hygiene, it is recommended to use the supplied acidic water tap (A-3) with the ECAIA ionizer S (not necessary with the ECAIA ionizer S+). 1. Screw the alkaline outlet hose (A-2) to the upper water outlet (B-5).
Before use Before you can use the ECAIA ionizer S, you must carry out the following steps: 1. Plug the power cable of the ECAIA Ionizer S into the socket. The device requires 230V (US model 120V). 2. Turn on the water and wait until the filters and the device are full. The device switches on automatically as soon as water flows through the device.
1.10 Volume configuration There are 2 ways to adjust the volume. Either via the volume control (B-10) or via the submenu. Note: Unfortunately, only setting option B is available for the models of the first production series. A Configuration via the volume control Using a small Phillips head screwdriver, you can turn the small volume control screw (B-10) on the back of the device and thus adjust the volume of the guide speech.
(A-9) so that the water flows into the ECAIA ionizer S. Afterwards turn the water flow rate regulator (B-3) on the device slowly clockwise towards OFF until the bars on the flow rate display (B-21) are in the “normal”...
1.12 Description of the buttons The ECAIA ionizer S has a total of 8 buttons to produce water with different properties. 1. Alkaline water (B-24), but- tons of alkaline levels 1 to 5 (ALKALINE) - alkaline water flows out of the upper water outlet (B-5), 1 = slightly alka- line, 5 = strongly alkaline.
The slower the flow rate, the stronger the ionization performance. The ECAIA ionizer S has 5 levels of alkaline water (B- 24), 2 levels of acidic water (B-25) and one level of filtered water (B-26). Please check the ionization per- formance using the 5 alkaline levels (B-24).
1.14 Setting ionization performance The ECAIA ionizer S has a total of 28 alkaline and acidic levels, which can be controlled by con- figuring the ionization performance via the submenu. The respective 5 alkaline and 2 acidic levels can be set to low or high level again using 4 levels in the submenu.
Page 20
3. By pressing the “alkaline level 1” button again, you can switch through the individual levels of ioniza- tion performance. If you want to set the ionization performance to a higher level, press the “alkaline level 1” button until “14” appears on the display. If you want to set the ionization performance to a lower level, “11”...
Configuration via the additional ECAIA ionizer S faucet: The above settings can also be configured using the control buttons of the ECAIA ionizer S faucet. To set the alkaline levels, press the ALK button (D2); for the acidic levels, press the ACID button (D3).
ECAIA water production Different types of water and their subsequent production with the help of the ECAIA ionizer S is described as follows. In principle, you should always consume the water that flows out of the upper water outlet (B-5).
26). Since the ECAIA ionizer S has no solenoid valves, filtered water can also be produced in the event of a power shortage (this does not apply to the ECAIA ionizer S+ variant, where a so- lenoid valve is used to control operation via the additional “ECAIA ionizer S faucet”).
Recommendation: Never store ECAIA water in copper, aluminum or plastic (PET) bottles! If you want to fill up ECAIA water for transport, a glass bottle is the best option. SANUSLIFE IN- TERNATIONAL recommends using the MY WATER BOTTLE, available at the SANUSSTORE.
The filters must be replaced regularly to ensure optimal filter output. Note: The ECAIA ionizer S is a device for treating drinking water. Only use water that complies with the drinking water ordinance.
If the ECAIA ionizer S is not used for a period of more than 2 months, we recommend you clean it as described under point “4.3 Cleaning and disinfection” and replace the filters, even if the best-before date has not yet been reached.

3. Turn the filter counterclockwise and remove it by pulling the filter up and out. The residual water may flow out of the filter or the de- vice. Dry excess water with a clean, absorbent cloth. Excess water can penetrate inside the device. CAUTION: If water runs off inside the device, the device must not be tilted sideways, backwards or forwards.
Maintenance and care To enjoy your ECAIA ionizer S for a long time, it is important that you handle, maintain and care for your device carefully and properly. In this context, you should always observe the following: The ECAIA ionizer S is suitable for treating drinking water only.
Descaling In order for the ECAIA ionizer S to perform at its best, it is necessary that the device is regularly descaled. Note: Insufficient descaling can lead to overheating of the electrolysis unit and cause electronic damage which is not covered by the warranty.

4. Connect the thin end of the tube from the descaling set to the descaling pump. In- sert the thicker part of the tube into the opening on the ECAIA ionizer S, where filter No. 2 was installed.

Initially water always comes out warm. The remaining water in the device is heated by the ambient temperature. Only once the cool water flows in from the main pipeline and the individual parts in the device have cooled down, the device produces cold water. Make sure that the plastic hose for acidic No water flows out of the lower water outlet.
Does the ECAIA ionizer S also work with hard water? Yes. The ECAIA ionizer S also works with hard water. The ionization performance can be set in- dividually and adapted to the respective water hardness. Does the ECAIA ionizer S also work when using a descaling system? Yes.
This following is the specialty of the ECAIA ionizer S: While conventional filter systems often filter out too little, others filter out ”everything”, turning it into distilled or osmosis water, the ECAIA ionizer S only filters the pollutants.
”1.11 - Flow rate configuration”. 7.10 Why does warm water flow out of the ECAIA ionizer S? There is always some residual water in the device, which can heat up due to the ambient tem- perature. Once you switch on the device, it will take some time for all heated parts to cool down and for cool water to flow.
