Frequently Asked Questions
1)Water Ionizer Installation, Use and Maintenance
Will
I need a plumber?
No, this can be done by the average person who has little or no plumbing
experience.
How
long will it take to install?
Usually in about 5-10 minutes.
Will
I need any additional parts in order to install my Toyo Water Ionizer?
About 10% of all faucets do not have the standard screw thread that will
fit the faucet diverter that comes with Toyo Water Ionizers. If you find the
Toyo faucet diverter will not fit your sink, note what kind of faucet
you have and take the Toyo faucet adapter to any hardware store and they
will have the necessary parts you will need.
What kind of warranty does the Water Ionizer have on it?
The Marvello and Masterpiece come with a Two Years Warranty.

I
hooked everything up correctly and no water will come out the silver tube.
What is the problem?
Open the panel on the left side of the ionizer unit and be sure the filter
is properly seat by turning it clockwise. This is the only reason why water
would not come out of the unit unless something such as packaging material
is blocking one of the tubes.
I hooked everything up correctly, plugged in the unit and turned on the
water. The water comes out but the lights don't come on. What is the problem?
Check the fuse in back of the Toyo Water Ionizer. That is most likely
the problem since Toyo Water Ionizers are extremely reliable and have
less the a 1% failure rate. The fuse is a standard 4 amp fuse obtainable
at any electronics store
The
water came out dark the first time it ran through the Toyo Water Ionizer.
What that normal?
That is what is called "fine" coming off the carbon in the filter
and it is normal. It will clear up within the first few seconds of use.
I
began using the Toyo Water Ionizer and the green filter light indicator
is near the top. Do I need to buy a new filter?
The main purpose of the carbon filter is to remove chlorine, which means
the filter is designed to be used with municipal water. How often the filter
should be changed depends on how much chlorine there is in your municipal
water. If there is a lot of chlorine in the water, the filter should be
changed once a year. On average the filter cartridge should be changed every
2 years. The carbon filter will also remove other unwanted elements found
in drinking water such as VOCs (benzene, trihalomethanes, etc).
The
green filter light has risen to the top of the unit and the music won’t
stop playing. How do I reset it?
Open the filter panel on the left side of the unit and push the red button
in the upper right hand corner behind the filter WHILE THE WATER IS RUNNING.
The green filter light will reset.
Why does the unit play music when I first turn it on and after every ten
minutes of use?
Toyo Water Ionizer either beeps or plays music when it is in cleaning
mode, which means the electrodes have reverse polarity and acid water is
coming out the silver tube and alkaline water is coming on the tube that
runs into the sink. This happens when you initially turn the Toyo Water
Ionizer on by running water through it and after ten minutes of use. Self-cleaning
dramatically extends the use of the electrodes. Never drink the water from
the Toyo Water Ionizer when it is cleaning mode.
Is there any way to turn off the music that plays on the Toyo Water Ionizer?
No, there is not. The music plays as a safety precaution warning you not
to drink the water while the unit is cleaning because acid water should
never be consumed. (It is all right to brush your teeth or gargle with,
but not to drink.) However, you may manually override the cleaning process
by pushing the pH button on the unit. This will cancel the cleaning mode
and immediately return the unit to regular Ionization mode.
How much water should I drink and at what level when I first get the Toyo
Water Ionizer?
This will depend partly on what kind of shape you are in physically when
you initially start drinking Ionized Water. For instance, if you have made
a conscious effort to eat well and keep your body detoxified you can start
drinking Ionized Water at higher levels 4 or 5.
However, if you have been on medication for some time, or have had a poor
diet of fast food, processed food, or a diet void of fresh fruits and vegetables,
you may need to begin drinking Ionized Water on Level One. Start by drinking
an 8 oz. glass of water slowly. If you do not feel any negative effects,
try another glass later in the day. If you are fine with that, move up to
the next level. The stronger you can drink Ionized Water, the better it
is for you because the water is more Alkaline, more Detoxifying, and a stronger
Antioxidant that provides your body with more Oxygen.
Why do some people get headaches and diarrhea when first drinking
this water?
The Ionization process creates water molecule clusters that are half the
size of regular water molecule clusters. This is why Ionized Water is sometimes
referred to as "reduced water" because it has become reduced in
size from a 12 water molecule cluster to 6 water molecule cluster. This
makes the water much more hydrating because it flows through our body tissue
more easily, thus pushing toxins out of our system. It is this detoxifying
effect that sometimes gives people headaches and diarrhea and why there
are 5 levels of strength on Toyo Water Ionizers. All Water Ionizers should
have more than one level.
What should I expect from drinking Ionized Water?
This will initially depend on what level of strength you begin drinking
Ionized Water. Ionized Water provides your body with lots of oxygen, which
is why it gives us energy. Ionized Water is much smoother tasting than conventional
water. It makes better coffee, tea, juice, etc. Alkaline Water is wonderful
to cook with because it helps hydrate the food and bring out its flavor.
However, other changes in your body after drinking Ionized Water will be
much more subtle and will take some time. If you have accumulated acid waste
in your system, it probably took years for you to get into that condition
and it will take some time to reverse it. As the body is slowly brought
into pH balance by drinking Ionized Water, it will naturally begin to function
more efficiently and problems will begin to correct themselves. This is
one of the great advantages of pursuing the Alkalife Preventative Health
philosophy. Ionized Water help bring your body into balance naturally by
providing it with the oxygen, alkalinity and the basic nutrients it needs
so it can heal itself and prevent diseases from occurring in the first place.
Is is all right for children to drink Ionized Water?
Absolutely. It naturally gives children tremendous amounts of oxygen that
helps their bodies function efficiently, as it does with everyone who drinks
it. Having extra amounts of oxygen in our blood also naturally helps us
to fight disease and build a strong immune system. Since children usually
have NOT accumulated toxins in their bodies, they suffer none of the ill
effects of detoxification such as headaches, diarrhea, etc.
Is there anyone who should not drink Ionized Water?
No. However, some people must start by drinking very small amounts of Ionized
Water, such as 8 oz. of Level One Ionized Water per day. This is especially
true of the elderly who often have unfortunately allowed heavy metals and
other toxins to accumulate in their bodies. Sometimes years of medication
has accumulated in them. Toxins and heavy metals that have accumulated in
people over decades can lead to diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease, Lewy
Body Dementia and a host of other mental disorders and psychiatric diseases.
Can a person become too Alkaline from drinking Ionized Water ?
People have been known to drink as much as 1 to 2 gallons of Ionized Water
every day and gotten great benefit from it. And they have not become too
Alkaline. On the contrary, one of the most common imbalances people have
today that leads to health problems is that they are too acidic. Our body
pH should be approximately 7.2 (measured through saliva or urine). The more
acidic we are, meaning a 6.6 pH or lower, the greater opportunity we have
provided disease to flourish in us. A low body pH creates an environment
in our bodies which is conducive to diseases such as arthritis, cancer,
etc to flourish. You can observe that people who are very sick always have
a very low body pH. (Not blood pH, which is always stable around 7.4) The
sicker they are, the lower the body pH. Diseases will further create this
acidic condition in us in order to better thrive. In short, it is very difficult
for us to become too Alkaline. In fact, it is rare for a person to acquire
Alkalosis, the condition of being too Alkaline. We should always drink Alkaline
Water and eat Alkaline Foods such as fruits and vegetables
2)Ionized Water
What exactly is Ionized Water?
Ionization simply means to gain or loose an electron. Water that has been
ionized becomes either alkaline or acidic, meaning that the pH has been
adjusted up or down.
Alkaline water is full of Hydroxyl ions. This is the water we drink that
has many Health Benefits as described below.
Acidic water is full of Hydrogen ions. This is water that we apply only
to the outside of our body. It is also great for plant growth.
How does the Water Ionizer produce ionized water?
Water is run over positive and negative electrodes, which ionizes the water.
It is then separated into alkaline and acidic water as it passes through
membranes. .It accomplishes this by repelling the water now that it has
been "charged" into positive and negative ions.
Why should I drink Ionized Water?
There are three main benefits to Ionized Water.
First and foremost, it is a powerful antioxidant. People spend hundreds
of dollar a month purchasing antioxidants because they are anti-diseases,
anti-aging, anti-cancer, which they accomplish through neutralizing free
radicals. Free Radical damage causes us to age and causes diseases. Since
Ionized Water is a liquid antioxidant, it is easily absorbed into the body
which makes it much more effective and powerful antioxidant.
Once the Ionized Antioxidant in the form of Hydroxyl Ions (oxygen molecule
with an extra electron) donates its extra electrons to free radicals (oxygen
molecule that is missing one electron) you are left with lots of oxygen.
Ionized Water gives you Energy by providing your body with lots of oxygen!
This is one of the most incredible aspects of Ionized Water!
Secondly, Ionized Water Balances body pH because it is very alkaline. Our
diet is often extremely acidic . Soft drinks, fast foods & processed
foods deposit acid waste in our bodies that builds up over time and creates
an ideal environment for diseases of all kinds to thrive. Look at any cancer
patient for instance and their bodies are invariably acidic to some degree.
This is, of course, true even with children. Chronic soft drink consumers
such as children put themselves in grave danger by allowing their bodies
to build up acid waste. Many end up with serious diseases at a very young
age. Maintaining an alkaline pH (7.0-7.3) helps us to maintain an environment
in our bodies that is NOT conducive to disease. It may take years depending
on how acidic your body is, but Ionized Water, because of its alkaline properties,
will flush acid waste from our bodies.
Ionized Water is meant to work as a preventative measure, however if you
are ill with any disease it always helps to stay Alkaline.
Thirdly, Ionized Water has a different molecular cluster size. It contains
only five to six water molecules instead of the ten to thirteen that conventional
water molecule clusters have. It has changed from an irregular shape that
is 10-13 molecule to a hexagonal regular shape that is half the size. This
smaller or "reduced" water is much more hydrating than conventional
water. There are two consequences of this. First, Ionized Water is much
more hydrating than conventional water and, second, it is extremely detoxifying.
The detoxification properties of Ionized Water are powerful and astounding.
They simply cannot be ignored. A Water Ionizer has different levels of intensity
because the average person cannot start out drinking strongly ionized Water.
This is particularly true of the elderly, who need to start out at the lowest
level and work their way up slowly. People who have spent a lifetime building
up acid waste in their bodies will suffer headaches and diarrhea if they
drink too much too soon.
How does Ionized Water taste compared with conventional water?
A common remark regarding the taste of Ionized Water is that it tastes smoother
than conventional water. This is because of the molecule cluster size and
shape. Since it small and regular shaped, it feels smooth because it is.
It also does not fill you up and bloat you the way conventional water can
do if you drink a lot of it at once.
How Long does Ionized Water stay Ionized?
The Antioxidant (hydroxyl ions) will last approximately 18-24 hours.
The Higher pH (alkaline properties) will last approximately 1-2 weeks.
The smaller molecule cluster size will last approximately 1-3 months.
Does Ionized Water have any negative effects?
Absolutely none, as long as it is used properly. Only the alkaline water
should be consumed. NEVER DRINK THE ACIDIC WATER. We have never seen a single
negative effect from Ionized Water, either alkaline or acidic, as long as
it is used properly.
Who should drink it?
Anyone and Everyone, young and old, human or animal. It is beneficial to
some degree to nearly everyone and everything it comes in contact with.
How should I start drinking it?
Start out slow at level one, drinking 1-3 glasses per day. If the water
agrees with you, increase the amount you drink and the level of Ionization
intensity. The stronger, the better, but take your time in building up to
the higher levels. The antioxidant is most powerful on the high levels.
You will of course experience more energy at the higher levels, but the
fresher the ionized Water is, the stronger these properties are. The detoxification
is STRONG and unmistakable. However, it only lasts a short time.
Can it be used commercially?
Yes, is innumerable ways. In the dairy industry, with Live Stock, healthier,
faster growing crops, etc. All this is now being demonstrated, albeit slowly,
to these industries. The Alkaline Ionized Water should be fed to the animals.
The Acidic Ionized Water will benefit the crops, as well as the livestock
in that it will help keep a much lower mortality rates and cleaner environment,
keeping in mind the acidic water retards bacteria and bacterial growth.
Tests are underway in various industries demonstrating the positive effects
of Ionized Water but they are still in their infancy.
How does Ionized Water effect athletes?
In an extremely positive way, as you might expect. Blood oxygen levels will
rise varying amounts with regular use of strong Ionized Water. This increases
stamina, endurance and provides the muscles tissue and organs with high
amounts of oxygen which the human body often lacks, even in athletes because
inadequate diets. If Professional and Amateur sports were to ever discover
this, it would eventually become one of the most established benefits to
athletes everywhere. That will happen, but acceptance of Ionized Water will
take time.
Why should I buy a Water Ionizer?
The Health Benefits of Ionized Water are numerous as stated above. We sell
it at our retail location for one ringgit per 500mL bottle. However, it
is best to have it one hand because the fresher it is, the better it is.
To have Acidic Water on hand 24 hours a day is worth the price of the Ionizer
alone. Once you have begun to use it and take advantage of its incredible
properties, you will know that you have made the right decision to purchase
one.
Why should I buy a Toyo water ionizer?
The Toyo ionizer is manufactured by Dong Yang Science Co., Ltd, the largest
manufacturer of water ionizer in the world. You can be sure that that Toyo
ionizer is of the highest quality compare to other makes in the market.
The Marvello and Masterpiece are currently being manufactured jointly by
Dong Yang Science of Korea and Toyo of Japan and both models are best selling
Water Ionizers on the market there. Thousands of these Water Ionizers are
sold worldwide. They are extremely popular units because they are affordable
and extremely high quality.
Toyo ionizer is easy to install. It has a self-cleaning mechanism that
comes on each time water is turned on to the unit. It has a heavy duty,
grounded, three-prong plug while other Water Ionizers have only a thinned
cord and only two prongs, which is conducive to overheating. Another advantage
to the Jupiter ionizer is the fact it has a fuse and NOT a circuit breaker.
Four amp fuses are inexpensive and can easily be found at any electrical
shop. We strongly believe that a fuse is much more preferable to a circuit
breaker when it comes to Water Ionizers.
The positive and negative electrodes are crucial to the performance of any
Water Ionizer.
What materials is the Toyo Water Ionizer's electrodes comprised of?
Titanium. The Toyo DOES NOT have any stainless steel components in the
ionization chambers or anywhere else on the unit for that matter.
Is the Toyo Analog or Digital and what is the difference between these
two?
Analog is yesterday's technology. Virtually everything that has electronics
utilizes computer technology today is digital.
The Masterpiece/Marvello uses state of the art MICOM Technology to implement
the entire ionization process. That way nothing is left to chance and the
proof is in the water: The ionization levels provide a pH of 8.5-10+ Alkaline,
and 6.5-5.5 Acidic. (Keep in mind that over-ionized water with a pH 10+
does not taste good. This is best described as salty although it has not
actually become more salty. The top level for ionization is approximately
pH 9.9) The ORP is -100 to -350 Alkaline and +750 to +900 Acidic, exactly
where you would expect it to be.
Where does the Toyo Water Ionizer hook up?
At any sink in the house or at work. It comes with a diverter that is easily
installed on any standard sink faucet.
Does the ionizer have a built in Carbon Filter?
Yes it does. It is granulated carbon, which is very effective at removing
chlorine from municipal water source.
I am concerned about my water supply. What effect will this have
on the Water Ionizer?
The only thing to be concerned about is chlorine. Chlorine can easily be
removed with the carbon filter. Our ionizer are sold with two pre-filters
with housing. The first is a standard one particulate filter which is inexpensive
and easily replaced, and the second a higher quality one micron particulate
filter. This will greatly improve you water supply quality and will help
extend the life of your ionizer filter.
