Frequently Asked Questions — JR IV Cleaning

The JR IV is equipped with a filter that needs regular replacement. The ionizer signals when a replacement is due via the indicator on the device panel.

JR IV vs K8/SD501DX — A Different Cleaning Method

The Leveluk JR IV is cleaned differently from the larger models. Instead of an automatic E-Cleaning cycle, the JR IV requires manual soaking in an E-Cleaner N solution. It is a straightforward procedure — all you need is a cup and a sachet of powder.

  1. 1

    Disconnect Water and Remove Ionizer from Mount

    Turn off the tap, disconnect the hose and remove the ionizer from its wall mount or stand to gain convenient access to the filter chamber.

  2. 2

    Open the Filter Chamber

    Locate the filter chamber cover at the bottom of the device. Rotate anti-clockwise and pull out the old filter cartridge.

  3. 3

    Insert the New Filter

    Remove the new filter from its packaging and insert it into the chamber following the flow direction markings. Close the cover by rotating clockwise until firm.

  4. 4

    Reset the Filter Indicator

    Consult the JR IV user manual or call me — I will show you how to reset the filter counter on your specific device model.

  5. 5

    Flush the New Filter

    Reconnect the ionizer, turn on the tap and run 3–5 litres of water through it to flush the new filter and activate the filter media.

  6. 6

    Remove the Hose and Reconnect to the Adapter

    Once soaking time has elapsed, remove the hose from the cup and reconnect it to the water faucet adapter at the sink or kitchen tap.

  7. 7

    Flush the Ionizer

    Turn on the tap and run at least 5 litres of water through the ionizer in plain water mode to thoroughly rinse the electrodes and hose of any remaining E-Cleaner N solution.

  8. 8

    Check Kangen Water Parameters

    Generate Kangen water at pH 9.5 and measure the ORP. It should read -300 mV or more negative — a sign that the electrodes are clean and working correctly. With heavily scaled electrodes, the first cleaning may not fully restore performance — repeat after a week if needed.

⚠️ Important: The JR IV requires E-Cleaner N (with the letter N) — not the standard E-Cleaner used for the K8 and SD501DX. Using the wrong powder may be ineffective or damage the electrodes. Contact your distributor to order the correct product.

At about 10 l/day of use, that's about 1.5 years. The ionizer signals the need for replacement — don't ignore that message.

Frequently Asked Questions — JR IV Cleaning

What is the difference between E-Cleaner and E-Cleaner N?
The E-Cleaner (for the K8 and SD501DX) is designed for automatic cleaning cycles in large ionizers. The E-Cleaner N (for the JR IV) has a different formula suited to the soaking method — it is chemically less aggressive because it works over a longer contact time with the plates. Don't swap these powders between models.
Can I soak the plates for longer than 5 hours?
The manufacturer recommends 3–5 hours. Overnight soaking (8–10 hours) is acceptable with heavily scaled plates, but should not be routine practice. Too long a contact with the solution may potentially affect the device's seals. Stick to the recommended time.
How often to clean the JR IV?
Recommended every 1–2 weeks. With hard water or intensive use, even weekly. A good indicator is the Kangen water's ORP: if it drops below −300 mV, the plates probably need cleaning.
My JR IV doesn't reach a negative ORP after cleaning — what should I do?
If the ORP is still insufficient after one cleaning, repeat the procedure after 3–7 days of normal use. With heavily scaled plates, 2–3 cleaning cycles may be needed. If the problem persists — contact me at 607 613 633, a service inspection may be necessary.
The JR IV is my first ionizer — how long do I need to clean it?
The first E-Cleaning is usually not needed for 12–24 months with normal use and average water hardness. Check the water ORP regularly — it's the best indicator of plate condition. If the ORP is normal (−300 mV or more negative), the plates are clean and cleaning isn't necessary.
Where to buy E-Cleaner N for the JR IV?
The E-Cleaner N is available only through authorized Enagic distributors. Contact me at 607 613 633 — I'll send it by courier nationwide, or you can pick it up in person.
