Question
Answer
About water discharge and weak acidic water
Is it ok to drink the acidic
water by accident?
Please do not worry if the amount is little (about 1 cup).
But do not drink any more. In addition, please seek for doctors for advice in case of
discomfort.
Compared with the
total flow, what are the
proportions of water that
flows out from the main
spout and drain outlet
respectively?
The proportions are shown as follows.
The water flows out from the main spout: about 80 %
The water flows out from the drain outlet: about 20 %
While confirming the measurement, please conduct at the state of water running
through. The water should be filled into the same container in the same time period
for comparison.
In the beginning of use, the water flows out from the drain outlet will slightly increase.
After the water outflow stops, there will be much water in the drain outlet due to the
discharging of water in the main unit.
When the water flow is relatively little, the water flows out from the drain outlet will
increase slightly.
Why the weak acidic water
has an unpleasant smell?
( Similar to the smell of
swimming pool)
This is due to the hypochlorous acid contained in the weak acidic water.
Please directly use at ease.
Electrolytic reaction will make the chloride ions concentrate in weak acidic water, and
hypochlorous acid will be generated as a result.
About hydrogen
How long will the
produced hydrogen stay
in the alkaline ion water?
The molecular of hydrogen is very small, therefore, it will reduce by
a half in 2 days even if it is placed in a closed container, such as PET
bottle. In non-closed container, all the hydrogen will outflow in one day.
For heated situation, the hydrogen will evaporate at the same time of
boiling.
What is “hydrogen
adjustment mode” ?
If a water source whose pH is hard to improve is used, you can
increase the pH level by increasing electrolytic force. At the same time,
the output of hydrogen will increase.
Cartridge
I want to replace the
cartridge. What type
should I use?
Use the cartridge with the TK-AS45C1 model number. (P. EN19, EN29)
Why the
filter
replacement light is
light up earlier than the
replacing standard?
The
filter
replacement light will light up when the run through water
volume or water run through pressure reduces. (P.EN19)
Please
confirm whether the water run through is insufficient due to low water pressure, or
whether water pipe is damaged or squeezed. Additionally, due to the difference of
water quality, the cartridge may be blocked before the specified time range.
Please replace the cartridge in this case.
Others
What does a service
life of 850 hours for the
electrolyzer mean?
It means the accumulated electrolysis time (including cleaning time) of
the electrolyzer of this Alkaline Ionizer.
If the average run through water volume is 30 L (3.2 L/min) in 1 day, it is
equal to a service life of 10 years.
When the electrolyzer is powered-on, the electrode plate will be consumed. When all
the water quality indicator lights are light up, and there are 5 warning sounds of “PI-”,
it means the service life of electrolyzer has been reached. Please contact a dealer or
subordinate service station of Panasonic.
