How to Install a Water Ionizer

1. Plug in the ionizer filter into an available electrical outlet located near the sink where the ionizer is to be used. Place the ionizer on the countertop next to the sink. Choose any location for the ionizer filter that is most appropriate for your intended use within the household. The ionizer can be installed in the kitchen, bathroom, on a wet bar, in the laundry room, utility room, garage or anywhere there is a sink.

2. Unscrew the aerator from the water faucet. The aerator is the small housing at the tip of the faucet where the water comes out. Replace the aerator by screwing on the faucet diverter tube in its place. The diverter tube contains a lever on one side and a hose attachment on the other. The lever allows you to choose between normal tap water and water from the ionizing filter.

3. Connect one end of the inlet hose to the attachment nozzle on the diverter tube, and connect the other end to the bottom of the ionizer filter where it is marked 'Inlet.' Clamp both ends of the inlet tube with hose clamps.

4. Attach the outlet tube to the bottom of the ionizer where it is marked 'Outlet.' Fasten the outlet tube to the ionizer with a hose clamp. Hang the other end of the outlet tube into the sink where the runoff can go down the drain.

5. Turn on the faucet and run water through the ionizer. The ionizer unit powers up automatically when it senses water running through it. Set the pH level on the ionizer using the knob indicator on the ionizer filter, anywhere from 0 to 12.0. Choose the 'acidic' or 'alkaline' setting as needed. Consult the owner's manual included with the ionizer filter for specific information on the use of ionized water.
