Installing a water ionizer on the faucet
The simplest method is the Water ionizer installed on faucet, as can be seen in the diagram on the left. This form of installation can be carried out by anyone.
In just a few minutes, a layperson can connect the supply hose (feed water) of the water ionizer. All you have to do is turn the lever and instead of coming out of the tap, the water flows through the water ionizer via the feed water hose.
Attention: Complete the installation Branching off from the tap is not possible, if it is a faucet on a Low pressure boiler acts. connect. Your dealer carries almost all other faucets suitable adapters.

Video: Installation on the faucet with a diverter aerator
Are you sure the water ionizer stays installed on the faucet only?
This short video shows the typical installation of a water filter on the faucet. Analogous to the water ionizer, a Carbonit table-top filter (Alternative to Carbonit San Uno: Aquaphor Modern) or most of the commercially available ones Tabletop filter Installed.
In this case, our main recommendation is to use devices that have a rotary control integrated into the device housing. That would be it AquaVolta Cavendish 9, AquaVolta® ECA Tractor or the AquaVolta Basic Tabletop ionizer.
The advantage is that, in contrast to water ionizers with an ON-OFF touch sensor (solenoid valve), you do not have to also press the ON-Off button. As shown in the video, the water ionizer starts after the water comes in from the tap changeover valve. Nevertheless, those too Water ionizer with an ON-OFF solenoid valve are very suitable for installation on the tap.
Advantages and disadvantages of a changeover valve
- Advantage of the deflection aerator: If you have a faucet with a mixer tap, you can not only produce cold active water, but also lukewarm. Caution: Since most flow ionizers are sensitive to hot water (—> diaphragm melts), there is a risk of overheating and damage. Therefore, always let the water run through the tap first and test the temperature. The water should not be warmer than lukewarm (370 C). The manufacturers specify different maximum temperatures that must be strictly observed.
- In some devices, which I call low pressure ionizers, the deflection aerator the only connection option. These devices do not have a built-in valve, so the water flows through unhindered. That's why you can't connect them directly to the water pipe, but you have to connect a tap in between so that the water doesn't flow continuously. These low-pressure devices can usually be recognized by their soft supply hoses with a diameter of more than 7 mm.
- Disadvantages of the deflection aerator: It cannot be connected when a low pressure water heater is connected. Regulating the flow rate requires a certain degree of sensitivity. The feed water hose on the tap is a nuisance when working in the kitchen and is aesthetically unsatisfactory for Western tastes.
- There are special alternative taps as accessories for such devices if you do not want to or cannot use a deflection aerator. The alternative tap is positioned next to the ionizer on the edge of the sink with a hole through the kitchen countertop and the ionizer is connected to it. The alternative tap gets its cold water from the cold water angle valve at the bottom, from where it is branched off using a T-piece. The water supply can be regulated using the rotary knob at the top. The hose with the draining sour water is also connected and the sour water flows neatly from a stainless steel tap without a hose hanging into the sink. This is a good solution aesthetically and technically, but requires an installer because of the work required on the pressure pipe. Please contact us about this special event.
