AquaVolta® Basic water ionizer | Production of alkaline water

Installation of AquaVolta® Basic water ionizer

Entry-level ionizer for single households or small families

The AquaVolta® Basic is a water ionizer with a minimalist design - 220 (W) x 300 (H) x 115 (D) mm - and yet shines with professional details that much more expensive and larger devices often lack:

Its robust, ceramic-mounted rotary control makes it possible to connect it to the tap as well as directly to the cold water pipe and thus precisely regulate the water flow.

The core, the electrolytic cell patented by the leading Korean company KYK, is a small powerhouse with 7 titanium electrodes (813 cm2) with galvanic platinum coating. In conjunction with a highly efficient SMPS power supply, the Aquavolta® Basic even has a higher electrolysis performance than competing devices in significantly higher price ranges.

After touching one of the 8 selection buttons, the corresponding LED lights up. At the same time you will hear a short confirmation tone.
The production of the set water type only begins when the water flows through the ionizer.

After turning off the water, the device automatically switches to the preselection mode “Stage 2 – Alkaline activated water”. The device does not remember the last level set.

The 4 filter LEDs show the remaining lifespan of the replaceable cartridge. When the filter is used up, they start flashing.

Control of water flow on the faucet

Due to its minimalist design, the AquaVolta® Basic does not have a sensor-controlled flow measurement. However, since precise flow control is a mandatory requirement for the proper operation of a water ionizer, you must set it manually before using it for the first time. To do this, proceed as follows:

Control the water flow using the T-piece supplied, if permanently installed

If you installed the water ionizer under the sink using the T-piece instead of on the faucet, follow these steps:

The following applies to both water flow controls (on the tap or permanently installed):

If the achievable pH values ​​of the alkaline activated water are not satisfactory, either too low or too high, you can influence this by changing the production quantity per minute:

7 titanium electrodes with platinum coating for remarkable values

The titanium electrodes (plus-minus poles), sprayed multiple times with platinum using a patented process, perform the fundamental role of separating purified water into alkaline and acidic water. However, there are huge differences in the basicity and quality of the active water of the various water ionizers, which are achieved by the thickness and type (galvanically applied or sprayed) of the platinum-titanium coating and the number of electrodes as a whole.

Each of the 7 electrodes has three electrodes applied using a patented spray process, which applies the layers of platinum particularly perfectly and leaves no gaps. In contrast to water ionizers with 5 electrodes, this outstanding 7-electrode ionizer is also suitable for medium-hard tap water up to °dH 14 to a maximum of 18. Values ​​up to pH 10,5 and above can be achieved safely and permanently, even with hard water.

An additional advantage of platinum titanium coating is that it has high electrical conductivity and is a harmless material to the human body. Furthermore, the heart of the AquaVolta® Basic water ionizer is characterized by extremely low power consumption and good electrolytic performance. Very high pH and especially redox potential (ORP) values ​​can be achieved.

Lifespan of the chip-controlled activated carbon filter cartridge

The multifunctional filter cartridge in your water ionizer is not only used to remove pollutants from tap water that may still be present despite your water supplier's treatment measures.

It also serves to protect the electrolytic cell and its high-quality diaphragm membranes from particles of iron, lime, rust, etc., which may have dissolved into the water from the pipe system on the way to your household. Therefore, the cartridge should always be changed after 6 months.

The filter cartridge has a capacity of 3500 liters, which is usually enough for the full 6 months. If you use more than this amount of water before 6 months have passed, the 4 LEDs will show you the remaining capacity.

As soon as you see LEDs start flashing, the capacity is used up and you have to change the filter cartridge, even if it has not been 6 months since the last change.

Particularly powerful with a total maximum output of up to 150 watts

Thanks to the high maximum power of the water ionizers with a maximum power consumption of up to 130 watts instead of the 90 watts usually used for household ionizers, the AquaVolta® Basic water ionizer can keep up with other, sometimes overpriced water ionizers.

Transformerless SMPS power supply for minimal heat and electrosmog load

Classic power transformers (transformers), which are widely used in water ionizers, are only designed to withstand a power supply of 100-150W/24-30V/5A. As a result, a lot of PCB program errors or malfunctions occur because individual components overheat, which generates excess current during the electrolysis process. Instead, he is consistent SMPS as power supply one which can withstand a range outside 200-230W/24-35V/10-20A.

It reduces the overheating rate of the device even with more than twice the output current compared to other devices, thereby increasing both the cost-effectiveness and safety of the device by reducing the program error rate.

Cleaning / Clean button for manual descaling and cleaning

Descaling of the electrodes through automatic polarity reversal after each use

Your water ionizer comes with a long-term warranty specified by the dealer on the invoice. The basic requirement for this is that you operate the device properly. Warranty claims will also be void for a coffee machine and any other electrical water treatment device if you do not adhere to the intervals for descaling procedures specified for your local water hardness.

Every time active water is produced in the electrolytic cell, a fine layer of limescale forms on the negatively charged electrodes, which would become thicker each time if it is not removed. The positively charged electrodes, on the other hand, repel lime particles. Therefore, the AquaVolta® Basic has an automatic electrode descaling that works using a polarity reversal process that is carried out every time the production of activated water is stopped. The polarity reversal process inside the ionizer takes 30 seconds and does not require any intervention from you.

An automatic polarity reversal also occurs if you produce more than 30 liters of active water in one go without interruption. This is to protect the electrodes. This “emergency polarity reversal” is indicated by the Clean button flashing and an acoustic signal. The water flowing out during the cleaning phase is not suitable for drinking.

We recommend that you do not produce more than 3 liters of activated water in one go. If you need more filling, you should stop the water flow and wait 30 seconds until the next start. You can also manually switch to electrode cleaning mode by pressing the CLEAN button and then opening the water supply. If you produce more than 2 liters per day, you should do this once a day, for example in the morning, for about 1 minute. This also removes the stagnant water that accumulates in the pipe at night.
