I. GENERAL INFORMATION 1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The following instructions contain important safety precautions and should be strictly observed. The terms used here are defined as follows: WARNING: There is a possibility of death or serious injury for the service person and a third party or the user due to improper service operations or defects in serviced products.

[1] sanitation (strong acid water, strong alkaline water, weak acid water, hypochlorous acid water) and [2] consumption (alkaline ionized water). The Water Electrolyzer ROX-20TA-U produces strong acid water and strong alkaline water in the category [1].
5. PRINCIPLE OF STRONG ACID WATER GENERATION Strong acid water is generated at the anode inside the Electrolytic Cell where the membrane divides the anode and cathode, by electrolyzation of 0.1% or less salt water. See the figure below. At the anode, chlorine ion (Cl - ) generates chlorine gas which reacts with H chloride and hypochlorous acid (HOCl).
