If top funnel is difficult to remove

If top funnel is difficult to remove
Remove entire filter tray as shown in picture, then push out top funnel by pushing its end.
* Be careful of water spills and top funnel and filter fallling apart.
6 Rinse and clean

Rinse top funnel, filter tray, base tank and cord cover with water. If you cannot clean off thoroughly, cleanse with mild detergent using sponge.

* Do not use cleansers. Rinse thoroughly.

How to maintain filter

How to maintain filter
Rinse filter surface with running water. Make sure not to use detergent.

* Replace filter media approximately once a month or when the filter is contaminated with left over food and hair.

* Filter may be seen in pink due to the germs existing in natural environment. We strongly advise filter and unit to be maintained thoroughly and water to be exchanged frequently under hot summer climates.

*Impeller will not function properly if impeller is contaminated with hair and left over food.
If impeller cannot revolve, it will become locked and stop the water flow. Be sure to maintain the impeller once a month.

* The impeller magnet will become weak after long usage which will diminsh the pump power.
  We recommend the pump to be replaced once a year.
* Kindly contact your nearest store for replacement of pump which is sold separately.
After maintenance is finished,
reverse procedure to re-set the unit.

イオン交換樹脂ってなに?

イオン交換樹脂とは、非常に小さい粒状の合成樹脂です。 大きく分けて陽イオン交換樹脂と陰イオン交換樹脂の2つがあります。ピュアクリスタルの軟水化フィルターで使っているのは、陽イオン交換樹脂です。

カルシウムイオンや、マグネシウムイオンなどの陽イオンを含む水が陽イオン交換樹脂に接触すると軟水となります。おもな用途としては、イオン交換水の製造、海水の飲料水化、科学工業での精製などに使われています。

軟水ってなに?

水は硬度によって『硬水』と『軟水』に区分されます。

硬度とは、水中に溶けているカルシウムイオンとマグネシウムイオンの量で決まります。 一般的に軟水・硬水と呼ばれているのは、この硬度の数値のことです。そして硬度分を多く含んだ水を「硬水」、その反対を「軟水」と呼んでいます。

測定実験データ

軟水化が完了するまでの速度は、約60分!

マグネシウム、カルシウムの含有量測定
測定方法
軟水化フィルターをセットし、水を循環させ水の全硬度を測定
(全硬度45ppm 水温25℃)
※全硬度とは水中に含まれるマグネシウム、カルシウムの量を数値化したものです。
