The Ionia Super-S12 isn’t just an alkaline water machine

— it’s a hydrogen-rich alkaline water machine that provides the cleanest, healthiest water possible.

• For Drinking Water, you are assured of the highest performance in terms of pH and hydrogen antioxidant levels in a water ionizer.
• The filters are also superior for getting out contaminants.
• It is also very versatile, allowing it to create a wide range of cleaning, degreasing, and sanitizing waters. In this respect, it beats all other brands.
• The saline port adds versatility and strength for cleaning water, without harsh chemicals.
• The Ionia Super-S12 also has advanced continuous cleaning, giving the Machine extra life and performance.

Filtration and Filter Conservation

The filter life is a thousand gallons, but only when filtering drinking-quality water on the right side.

The filters are only used when you are using one of the drinking water settings. This filter conservation saves the life of your filters by only filtering when you need it. The filtration is high-tech and excellent filtration.

When making super-sanitizing water, you don't need these filters out of the left side, so they are bypassed, saving you from unnecessary waste.

This conservation feature saves the life of your filters by only filtering when you need it.

Acidic & Super-Alkaline Water for Cleaning

The Super-S12 produces:

• Mildly acidic “beauty water” for plants and skin
• Super-strong acidic water (hypochlorous acid / ECA water) for germ-killing
• Super-strong alkaline water for cleaning, degreasing, and sanitizing

Super Alkaline Cleaning Water for Germ-Fighting

The Super S12 also makes Super-strong alkaline water, another all-natural cleanser (but on the other side of the spectrum than super-low acidic water). Strong alkaline has also been proven effective in germ-fighting and cleaning grease, dirt, and grime.

How Strong Do You Really Need?

I have experimented with many acidic and alkaline water levels for cleaning purposes and prefer milder water for my home. In other words, I don't care if the acidic water gets down to 3 pH (4 is good enough), and the degreasing high-alkaline water can be a moderate 10.5 pH around my kitchen and laundry.

But everybody's different, and this machine has the power and capability to provide better performance than the competition and at a price far more fair than all others in its class.

Ionia S12 Use & Care

Precautions to Consider When Using the Saline Injection Function

• Don't consume water made with saline injection. It's only for cleaning or disinfecting purposes.
• Always remember to give the machine's left side (the super strong side) an extra cleaning cycle after every use of the left side.
• Turn it back on after pouring strong alkaline or acidic water, and it will automatically enter this cleaning cycle for you.

Using & Testing the Ionia Super S-12 Water Ionizer

These two videos have good information about the Super S12 Water Ionizer.

Using the Ionia Super-S12 Water Ionizer

How to Reset the Filter

When the Machine is plugged in, the electric switch is ON, and the water-flow knob is in the OFF position, the water ionizer is in "standby mode." Follow these instructions when the ionizer is in standby mode.

1. Press/hold the top-left (Strong Alkaline) button to get into the Filter-Reset mode.
2. Press/hold the top-right button (normal Alkaline) to reset filter 1.
3. Press/hold the middle-right button (Acidic button) to reset filter 2.
4. Then press the Voice button (middle-left) to save the settings.

Instructions for Getting Alkaline Ionized Drinking Water & its Acidic Water Byproduct

1. Place a glass or container under the top alkaline spout.
2. If you want to collect acidic water out of the bottom hose, place the hose in a container.
3. Pull the lever on the top-right down.
4. It will automatically pour alkaline water out at the level you used last time. If this is your first use, touch the Alkaline button (top-right) to toggle the levels until you get to the level you want.

Making Sanitizing Water

Hypochlorous acid is the active ingredient in electro-chemically activated super-oxidized water (described by the CDC). Here is the procedure I use for my own use, sanitizing around the house. This gives me adequate levels of hypochlorous acid for home use (around 30 to 50 ppm).

• Fill the saline bin with acidic water or distilled water
• Put a few rock-chunks of Himalayan rock salt in the bottom of the bin
• The saline will naturally diffuse into the water in the bin over a several-hour period

If you want a stronger concentration you can purchase saline-water concentrate online.

Or, if you prefer, you can opt to not use saline water in the port (i.e., don't add the rock salt chunks) and still get a fantastic germicidal super-oxide water which has about 2.5 pH with the strong-acidic setting. 

All-Natural Sanitation

From the CDC website: https://www.cdc.gov/infectioncontrol/pdf/guidelines/disinfection-guidelines-H.pdf

"The microbicidal activity of a new disinfectant, “superoxidized water,” has been examined The concept of electrolyzing saline to create a disinfectant or antiseptics is appealing because the basic materials of saline and electricity are inexpensive and the end product (i.e., water) does not damage the environment. The main products of this water are hypochlorous acid (e.g., at a concentration of about 144 mg/L) and chlorine. As with any germicide, the antimicrobial activity of superoxidized water is strongly affected by the concentration of the active ingredient (available free chlorine)" "The solution is nontoxic to biologic tissues."

Instructions for Protecting the Super S-12 from Saline Solution Use

Always flush out of the water cells any time you use the saline-injection function (left side of machine).

How to Flush Sodium Out of the Water Cell

As a final step, after turning off the water-flow, you need to:

1. Pull down the on/off lever one more time and push the strong acidic button for the machine, and a special cleaning cycle will automatically flush out the water cell of all sodium residue. This flush takes 30 seconds.
2. Then, pull down on the lever again to clean the other side of the water cell.

This final rinse routine is very necessary for the life of your water ionizer. Your alkaline water filter system may last 20 or so years if you always remember to flush it after producing super-sanitizing water. However it may only last 5 years if you constantly forget this step. If you do forget this step, what will happen is the next time you go to get alkaline drinking water, it will do the cleaning flush. If you notice this happening a lot, you should train yourself better to flush the machine after every time of getting super-sanitizing water.

Remove the Protective Film Covering the Display Panel

Some people just leave this film on, but it looks so much prettier with it off.

All water ionizers have a plastic film covering the display panel. Remove it to uncover a more beautiful surface. Start in one corner and slowly pick at it until part of it comes up. Then pull the rest of the film off easily after that.

Closing the Door (Panel) on the Front of the Machine

f you don't do it right, the front panel won't close. So take care to observe these instructions:

1. Place the saline bin back into its spot. Make sure it is in there correctly. The bottom has grooves for it to fit in between.
2. Place the left side of the filter panel in both spots (top-bottom). You can now operate the panel as a door.
3. Push the right side closed, and if needed, press on the middle of the door, to get it to click in place.

Programming Options

The Ionia Super-S12 hydrogen-rich drinking water machine is already programmed for average water quality. If you want to raise or lower ionization strength beyond what you can already do by selecting levels on the Machine, you can program the "base" power level. Here's how:

1. Push/hold the "Mode" button (bottom-left) at the same time as the "Strongest Alkaline/Acidic" button (top-left).
2. A screen will appear that says "Base", and has a number showing.
3. Use the normal "Alkaline" button (top-right) as an up-arrow, or "Acidic" button (middle-right) as a down-arrow, to get to the level you want.
4. Push the "Voice" button to save the programming, and you're done.

Cautions: 

• Not for Excessive, Industrial or Commercial Use
• Ionia water ionizers are not capable of under-sink installation.
