pH test shows alkaline water color
as neutral (7) while acidic water
color gets yellow (6).
This is normal if initial pH is 6.5.

Faulty or evaporated reagent:
alkaline / acidity are always
produced in inverse proportion.
Therefore, showing an acidic color
means inversely that alkaline water
has to be generated from the unit.
Lack of alkaline color can result
from a chemical reaction where
carbonic acid in water evaporates
some test reagent elements.
*Elevated level of salt in the water
or high TDS;
extended operation at high pH;
sudden flux in electrical current.
In these cases your machine will
shut down automatically to protect
the electrodes and circuitry. |
Test pH value on level 3 or 4
water; replace reagent. |
Water appears milky;
white snow like particles
in the bottom of your glass. |
You have high hardness
(calcium primarily) in your water.
The white is extracted CaCO3
(Calcium carbonate).
After Co2 in water is bonded with
Ca where elevated levels of CO3
exist in your water.
In water where elevated levels of
CO3 exist, what you see after
ionization is Co2 in
the water bonded with Ca. |
This is calcium! It is not only
harmless, but actually good
for you.
Remember the ionizer separates
and condenses the alkaline
minerals and this is what you
are seeing.
You can lower the setting (1-2) and
reduce this effect.
Typically this only
occurs in hard water areas. |
