Don't let the unopened box scare you

INSTALLING A JUPITER WATER IONIZER

This page is intended for both new Jupiter Water Ionizer Owners as well as those who are considering a Jupiter, but are worried that installation will be difficult. We hope the following will ease your installation concerns, once we show you how simple the job can be.

STEP 1:

Your new Jupiter Ionizer will include everything required for most installations. Carefully open box and verify that you have all of the following in the Styrofoam tray at the top of the box:

  • Stainless steel spout
  • pH test kit consisting of red test solution and color chart
  • Spare fuse combined with pH test kit
  • Diverter valve assembly with blue handle
  • Adapter for threadless spout - you probably won't need this
  • 2 each spring clamps
  • 3 each glass test tubes
  • 2 nails for wall mounting - for use if counter space is limited

FROM TOP TO LEFT TO RIGHT: FLEX HOSE, DIVERTER, ADAPTER, TEST TUBES, FUSE, CLAMPS, NAILS, pH TEST KIT

Upon verifying that the above is contained in the Styrofoam top tray, gently remove tray and set aside. Carefully remove the remaining contents as follows:

  • Jupiter Ionizer Unit
  • 1 coil of white hose
  • Instruction manual - PLEASE READ THIS!
  • Wall mounting hole template

JUPITER MAVELLO SHOWN WITH REQUIRED READING AND HOSE
Note: Occasionally, a customer's faucet will have female threading, in which case you will need Bluestone Group's diverter valve adapter kit ($8) for female threaded faucets. Each kit contains 2 of the most commonly used adapters. Adapters for female threaded faucets may also be found at your local hardware store.

CINCH MIDDLE OF DIVERTER WITH PLIERS
 

MEASURE TWICE, CUT ONCE

Please keep empty box with Styrofoam inserts in a safe place for use in the event your Jupiter would ever need to be returned to Bluestone Group for repair or upgrade.

STEP 2:

By now, you have determined where to install your new Jupiter, probably right at your kitchen sink or perhaps a utility tub in the laundry. We're sure you'll agree that either the Masterpiece or Mavello will compliment just about any décor and the space requirement will be minimal. Now that we have determined that the supplied Jupiter Ionizer package is complete, we are ready for installation as follows:

  • The only tool you will need is a pair of pliers
  • Remove existing water aerator from faucet and install Jupiter diverter valve. Carefully start rotating top of diverter assembly onto exposed male faucet threads in a clockwise direction. Before bottom portion of assembly seats into gasket, make sure that barbed hose fitting is facing the location of Jupiter installation. Use a pair of pliers to gently cinch middle faceted collar to make sure gaskets are fully seated. Note that the diverter valve assembly has its own aerator so that you can still use your faucet as you always have before.
  • Next we are ready to cut the supplied hose to length - First, place Jupiter on counter at installation location, then unwrap the coil of hose. If you are installing your Jupiter without a pre-filter, hold one end of the hose next to barbed hose fitting on diverter valve. Then, just slide your other hand along hose length until you reach the back of your Jupiter Ionizer. Add just a little length to allow for left-to-right faucet movement then cut the hose at this point with a sharp pair of scissors.

PLACE SPRING CLAMPS 3 INCHES FROM EACH END
  • Take both of the spring clamps and thread the hose through them so that each one is 3 inches from each end of the hose.
  • Press the diverter valve end of the hose onto the barbed metal fitting. Once fully inserted, depress tabs on spring clamp with pliers and slide onto area where barbed fitting will have penetrated. Release tabs.
  • Press the Jupiter Ionizer end of the hose onto the nylon barbed fitting marked "ENTRANCE INLET". This will be the port on the right as you're facing the rear of the machine. Use the pliers again to depress 2nd spring clamp and slide up onto area where barbed fitting will have penetrated and release.
  • If installing a Bluestone Group Pre-filter, place filter container to the rear of Jupiter Ionizer and repeat above measurement procedure, making your first cut at the prefilter, instead of the Jupiter Ionizer. Slide hose onto filter nylon barbed fitting marked "IN". Take remaining hose length and plug onto pre-filter fitting marked "OUT". Note that the pre-filter does not require any spring clamps on either the "IN" or the "OUT" ports. Continue with second length of hose from pre-filter "OUT" port to the "ENTRANCE INLET" port of the Jupiter Ionizer.

Next, we will determine the length of hose required for attachment to the "ACID WATER OUTLET". This will be the port on the left as you're facing the machine. Keep in mind that the acid water byproduct of your Jupiter Ionizer will be good for use as an astringent, antiseptic, mouthwash, or plant food. For this reason, it is a good idea to allow sufficient length of hose to reach a container so that acid water may be periodically collected for these uses. When not being collected, the acid water will just be discharged down the drain. Attach one end of the remaining hose to the "ACID WATER OUTLET" port and slide your hand along its length to gauge the appropriate cutting point. Again, use sharp scissors to cut hose at this point.

(NOTE: THE MAVELLO UTILIZES A SMALLER DIAMETER FITTING ON THE ACID OUTLET. THIS CORRESPONDS WITH THE SUPPLIED SMALLER DIAMETER HOSE TO MINIMIZE RISK OF REVERSED CONNECTION.)


MAVELLO CONNECTION COMPLETE - THERE IS NO CLAMP NEEDED FOR ACID OUTLET


SLIDE CLAMP TO END OF HOSE AND RELEASE
 

BOTTOM OF OPTIONAL CARBON BLOCK PRE-FILTER - BE SURE TO LOCATE "IN" AND "OUT" BEFORE CONNECTING
 

OPTIONAL PRE-FILTER WITH INPUT CONNECTION COMPLETE
 

TAP WATER INPUT & ACID WATER OUTLET ON MASTERPIECE MODEL

INSERT FLEX-HOSE AND TIGHTEN CLOCKWISE
 

FLEX-HOSE WILL BEND TO ACCOMMODATE LARGE CONTAINERS

STEP 3:

Now that we have made our water connections, we are ready for some final assembly and checkout:

  • Install the stainless steel alkaline water flex-hose spout by screwing clockwise into rotating joint on top of machine. Tighten just enough to seat o-rings, but do not over tighten. Bend flex-hose spout to suit your requirements.

MAIN POWER SWITCH ON REAR OF MAVELLO
  • Open filter door and verify that filter has not come loose during shipping. Rotate Masterpiece filter clockwise until tabs are fully locked under stanchions. Make sure that Mavello filter is fully snapped into spring loaded pedestal.

DOUBLE CHECK THAT FILTER IS SEATED

MAVELLO COMES ALIVE
  • Plug electrical cord into wall outlet - the Masterpiece will beep as its electronics initialize. The Mavello will also beep once both the main power switch on the rear panel and the front panel power switch are turned on. Once turned on, the Mavello will be in a "ready" state and does not need to be turned off. The last pH level selected and the filter life indicator will always be lit, in addition to the power on button. The Masterpiece will power up automatically upon water input.

STEP 4:

Your first glass of Jupiter water is ready to drink after these final steps:


BLUE HANDLE VERTICAL-USE FAUCET AS BEFORE
  • Make sure that blue diverter valve handle is in the vertical position. ˇ Turn on cold water at the faucet - make sure handle is in the "COLD" position before turning water on - note how water comes through the diverter valve aerator for use as before.
  • Slowly rotate the blue diverter handle in a clockwise direction so that water STOPS flowing into sink and STARTS flowing through hose attached to Jupiter Ionizer. It is normal to hear some gurgling noises, especially at first use.

BLUE HANDLE HORIZONTAL-WATER TO JUPITER
  • You will hear a beeping with either model. The beep will continue with the Masterpiece during the automatic cleaning cycle. The Mavello will entertain you with a tune during the clean cycle. Again, the cleaning cycle is automatic with both models and is there to protect the ionization chamber from scale build up.
  • Once the clean cycle is complete on both models, the "ion" LED will illuminate and the beeping/music will stop

STEP 5:

Now we are ready to get a water sample and test for the correct drinking water setting.


JUST 2/3RDS FULL - ONLY 2 DROPS OF pH TEST SOLUTION
  • At first use, allow the machine to operate for a couple of minutes, then select the #2 setting.
  • Locate pH test kit and peel backing off of color chart. Affix color chart to your machine or a nearby surface for easy visibility
  • Thoroughly rinse one of the test tubes, then fill to 2/3rds full. Place test tube in a glass to prevent spilling.
  • Open small bottle of pH test solution and fill dropper with liquid.

PLACE COLOR CHART FOR EASY REFERENCE

MASTERPIECE 11.1pH @ #5 SETTING - USE HIGHER SETTINGS FOR COOKING, COFFEE, OR JUICE ONLY!!
  • Place just 2 drops into water sample. Cover with thumb and invert test tube several times to mix.
  • Compare resulting color to chart. You should strive for the shade of BLUE color that would indicate a pH of between 8.0 and 9.0. ˇ Adjust setting up or down as needed and repeat test until reading of between 8.0 and 9.0 can be achieved. Remember, more is not necessarily better which is why Jupiter

ABOUT 9pH

International and Bluestone Group do NOT recommend the consumption of greater than 9.0 pH water. Use the higher pH values for coffee, juices, or cooking.

 

We hope these instructions have been useful for you. Please call the "ALKA-LINE" @ 888-572-2500 if you experience any problems or have any questions.


pH 8.5 @ #2 SETTING ON MASTERPIECE USING CHAMP METER - OK FOR DRINKING.
