Smart 9P Water Ionizer (Has flow-control knob)
Smart Water Ionizers
The Ionia Smart 9P Water Ionizer is a premium alkaline and hydrogen water machine designed for both countertop and under-sink use. Featuring 9 platinum-coated titanium plates and advanced DARC continuous-cleaning technology, it delivers high levels of molecular hydrogen (up to 1.5 ppm H₂) for optimal hydration and antioxidant benefits.
Performance & Hydrogen Output
The Smart 9P generates up to 1.5 ppm of dissolved hydrogen in drinking water — one of the highest in its class — thanks to its advanced electrode design and constant-voltage system. It also maintains stable ORP levels between −400 mV and −800 mV, ensuring consistently antioxidant water.
Key Features & Benefits
- 9 platinum-coated titanium plates for maximum electrolysis power and durability.
- When a Smart 10X electrode cross section is examined 1000 times magnification, you can see that the electrodes have 100% complete platinum coverage and are electroplated multiple times on the surface area for electrolysis compared to the dipped method of plating with platinum.
- See this plate comparison.
- DARC continuous-cleaning system automatically reverses polarity after every use.
- Produces alkaline water, acidic water, purified water, and hydrogen-rich water.
- Dual installation options: Countertop or under-sink with optional faucet kit.
- Real-time display with touch panel interface for intuitive control.
- Built-in flow sensor for consistent water quality and plate protection.
- Automatic shut-off and safety sensors prevent overheating or dry-running.
- Backed by a lifetime warranty through Alkaline Water Plus.
- Smart Memory: conveniently remembers the alkaline water level you used last, saving you time and effort in adjusting the settings each time you use it.
- Voice Indicator: alerts you to your selection of alkaline, acidic or purified water.
- Volume Control: Adjust the level or simply switch the sound ON/OFF as you desire.
Easy Operation
- Computer on Board! The mini onboard computer facilitates optimum performance. 4 different alkaline settings allow you to choose the level that’s best for your body. These levels can be programmed to boost ionization if you have soft water or other hard-to-ionize water 4 different acidic levels 1 pure water setting.
- Flow-Rate Display: on the front panel.
- Post-operation Auto Cleanse System: This is a quiet cleaning of the water cell and flushing of the system after each time you use the water ionizer (takes only a few seconds).
- Filter Life Indicator: The symbolic filter indicator icon tells you about the remaining water filter life. Optimum performance is ensured by always changing your filter on time.
- Spring-Loaded Filter Housing: makes filter replacement easy.
- Advanced SMPS: to ensure you have the most functional and efficient electrical power supply.
Smart water ionizers are well-built and have medical-grade-levels of molecular hydrogen. They typically test over 1.5 ppm of H2 (hydrogen) at the level of alkaline I drink. These are outstanding levels of molecular hydrogen antioxidants.
Certifications & Quality Assurance
- KFDA-approved medical device (Korean FDA #3272).
- ISO 9001 & ISO 14001 certified manufacturing standards.
- NSF-approved internal filters for safety and performance.

DARC Continuous-Cleaning Explained
The Smart water ionizer has nine plates inside a patented DARC (double-automatic-reverse-cleaning) water cell. The DARC water cell is one of the reasons the Smart water ionizer is able to produce the best levels of molecular hydrogen that I've ever found in a water ionizer of any size or price.
Most water ionizers boast of great automatic cleaning systems, but none even compare to the DARC (Double-Automatic-Continuous-Cleaning) in the water ionizers with Emco Tech (Smart) water cells. Emco Tech is the leader of scientific development of water ionizers since 1982, and continues to this day to make water cells that out-perform and out-last all of the competition.

DARC water cells and electrode plates will outlast all the others by about 2 to 1. Keeping the electrode plates of a water ionizer pristine-clean is so important that it might even be the most important feature of a water ionizer. With DARC continuous-cleaning, the magnetic field in the electrolytic bath is reversed every 15 seconds for a complete acid wash of one side of the water cell while it's creating alkaline in the other. With the DARC system no minerals will ever be able to energetically adhere to the Titanium plates; instead, they are repelled and flushed away. Continuous-cleaning causes Platinum coated Titanium Electrodes to have the most excellent conductivity of all water ionizer plates and optimum durability.
The Smart water ionizer Testing
Here is a video showing my testing of the Smart Water Ionizer for molecular hydrogen. See this report to learn more about the importance of molecular hydrogen to all of health. Note: All pH, ORP, and molecular hydrogen levels are approximate, depending on local water supply, because water ionizers don't always work the same in every location.
In the video (starting at the 2-minute-mark) you can see testing of Level-3 poured at 1.5 liters per minute.
Amazing Results: PH = 9.5; ORP = -850; Molecular Hydrogen Concentration (using drops) = 1.5 ppm
Comparing the Enagic SD501 to the Smart SMS-9
Note: No matter what type of ORP or molecular hydrogen tester or solution you buy, there is no guarantee as to what results customers will get when they test. There are too many variables with ORP and Molecular Hydrogen testing to guarantee these results.

Installation and Programming
Installation is easy, and the manual covers it pretty well, but here are a couple of tips & warnings about it.
- Operating any water ionizer with a dried-out water-cell can cause the water cell to burst when you start it up again. For this reason we suggest you set up your water ionizer within a few weeks of it arriving to you...
- The best use of a Smart water ionizer machine is to use it every day...
- Make sure you know how to remove a quick-connect plug.

How to Change and Reset the Filter
- The filter is easy to pop in and out...
- The filter counter needs to be reset after replacing the filter...
- Then push/hold the Alkaline Button until you see the filter is re-set.
- Finally do a fast push on the Filter or Voice button to exit & save.
Programming the Smart Water Ionizer
- Volume (up, down or off)
- Power: internal base-programming has 5 settings (default is “2”).
- Date/time can be turned on/off or set as needed.
- Caution: Don’t alter other settings besides Alkaline/Acidic levels.
