Water Ionizer Maintenance

Internal Cleaning

Just like a coffee maker, Water Ionizers require some maintenance. Descaling is a simple yet effective way in making sure your machine works at peak performance. We recommend you descale the machine at minimum 9 months when you change the filter. Citric Acid can be used in substitute.

Place the ionizer below the diverter adapter, this will ensure the solution soaks inside the machine and does not leak or run out through the residual hose.
Remove the internal filter by popping the top corner cover and unscrewing the cap, discard filter. Empty out any water in the chamber.
Pour the citric acid into a drinking glass (about 2 tablespoons) and fill with hot water, then stir solution.
Empty solution into filter chamber, wait 30 seconds and top off with any left over solution. Screw cap back on.
Let solution soak for no longer than 1-2 hours, then run warm water through your machine for 5 minutes.
Unscrew filter cap and insert new primed replacement filter & Done!

Aqua Ionizer Pro® Replacement Internal Filter:

Aqua Ionizer Deluxe® water ionizers use a standard internal filter which last 4000L or 9 months, whichever occurs first. If you have low pH, the internal mineral filter will be used which is good for 6 months.

This video will demonstrate how to replace the internal filter in just a few steps.

Something important to remember is priming the filter. Place the filter, rubber fitting side up, under running water for a few minutes.

Whenever you change the filter, you will want to reset the Filter Reset indicator, do so buy holding down the Filter Reset button until a beep occurs, about 10 seconds. It will illuminate again after 4000L liter passes.

External Filter Replacement (Dual Stage)

An optional but recommend accessory is the External Filtration option. This filter can be used with any Water Ionizer on the market, and removes things like fluoride, lead, heavy metals, chlorine, bacteria and much more. With general use the filters last 18 months or 8000L, whichever occurs first. If you have harder water you will need to replace these more often.

Watch the video and see how easy it is to replace the filters.
