Among other minerals found in our filter, the bottom chamber contains our proprietary natural minerals to increase the alkalinity level in your tap water as it passes through. 1 VelaWorld Distributor Service FAQs How does the Velaqua system provide negative ions to its water? Ceramic Disk is infused with negative ions approx. 4,000 – 6,000 How does the Velaqua system purify my water? The Ceramic Disc is the first line of defense filtering the water down to .02 micron of filtration. Organic Coconut Fiber Carbon infused with Colloidal Silber provides the last water purification process in the bottom chamber before water flows out to the storage tank and consumed. Carbon is widely used worldwide to purity water. Velaqua generates water that is about 9.0+ pH. Should water be this alkaline? The pH has been very carefully determined and is naturally alkaline. There is a systemic struggle in the body between acidity and true pH balance of 7.2. Invariably acid has the upper hand in most people. Until our acidic body returns to a balanced state, the water’s pH should remain high to help the body alkalize itself to a normal pH of 7.2 quicker. Being in acid state (lower than7.2) may lead to many health risks and complications VELAQUA: General Use How will I know if my system needs a booster? If your alkalinity falls below 8.5 or if you simply want to maintain a high pH of 9+. How does Velaqua water taste? Most people agree that Velaqua tastes better than bottled water or water produced by other systems. Velaqua uses only natural ingredients to filter purity and mineralize its water. Velaqua uses organic coconut fiber carbon, instead of charcoal, which leaves the water with delicious, sweet, smooth taste. How many glasses of Velaqua water should I drink every day? Many experts recommended drinking at least half your weight in ounces of water daily. Can I cook using Velaqua water? Absolutely, alkaline water is recommended for all uses.

Almost any water will work, but we recommend the cleanest. If this is not available, use what you have. You can pour any water you would like into the top compartment, and the Velaqua will filter it, and mineralize the water as well. Obviously, the more filtered the water put into the Velaqua, the more filtration will occur within the Velaqua, giving you even extra filtered alkaline mineralized drinking water. What is the capacity of Velaqua? The top holding tank has 1.5 gallon capacity. The bottom storage tank will hold about 2.5 gallons of clean drinking water for consumption. Should I fill up my top tank? The top tank should only be filled all the way if the bottom reservoir is empty.

The ceramic disk used in the Velaqua water system is infused with up to 4,000 to 6,000 Negative IONs. VelaWorld stands behind its product and ensures its customers that the ceramic disks will not need to be replaced for the purpose of negative ion production. How will I know if my ceramic disk needs to be changed? The ceramic should last the lifespan of the mineral cartridge, and will need to be freshened up periodically about every 2 months by using the CCC (Ceramic cleaning cloth) to maintain high filtration. VELAQUA: Maintenance How do I clean my tank? You are able to clean your tank like any regular dish. Remove the filters from the unit and wash with light dish soap and a NEW sponge.

By using the approved VelaWorld PH drops 6 months/600 gallons VelaWorld PH Drops for testing The taste completely changes VELAQUA: Trouble Shooting Why is my water filtering slowly? Mother Nature takes time, our system does too. There are different reasons for which your Velaqua water filtration unit may be flowing slower than expected. First, on initial installment, the ceramic disc must be scraped with CCC (Ceramic Cleaning Cloth) that is included in the kit. This must be done only a matter of 15 or so times. Also, to ensure a good flow it is encouraged to soak the mineral cartridge filter (cylindrical filter) completely submerged in warm water for 45-60 minutes. This, along with correct installation, should result in a consistent flow of water. If after doing this reparation you are still not getting the flow that you 4 VelaWorld Distributor Service FAQs require, please repeat these steps 2-3 times in order to further prepare the filters. If after trying multiple times you are still not receiving the flow that you require, please call distributor services so that they may help resolve the issue. Why is water in the top tank not draining to the bottom tank? The normal flow rate of the ceramic filter is approximately one hour per gallon. When the ceramic filter is initially used, it may take a little longer to drain to the bottom tank, but it should not take more than 3 to 4 hours, remove the Ceramic Filter from the top tank. Using the C.C.C.; in one direction, brush the entire surface of the ceramic filter under clean, running water. This process will open the pores on the ceramic filter that might have been clogged during the manufacturing process. Why is there black sediment in the water? It is harmless and should be cleared from the cartridge before use. This is one of the proprietary substances that makes Velaqua water so tasteful and healthy. Why is my water testing at blue (8.0) instead? By using the Vela approved pH drops, available online; you will be able to test the range for water. Typically the water will start off testing a deep purple which is and extremely high (9.5), but will eventually settle at a blue color and around an 8.5 to 9.0 (still high) and should stay consistently blue for the remainder of your filter life. If you do wish to keep the extremely high alkalinity, our booster disc will meet your necessity by keeping water near a 9.0 for the lifespan of your water. 1. 2. 3. What is your source of your water? Water that is very acidic will be impossible to What are you using to test the PH in your water? How old is the filter/mineral cartridge? Why my water has alkalinity dropped? I’d been almost 6 months and I’m finding the pH has dropped. There are many factors that can influence the alkalinity of the water. One would be the amount of water that is fun through the unit. If the unit has had near 500 gallons or more run through it, then that would have stripped the cartridge of its alkaline producing properties, and it has reached the end of its lifespan. Another influence on alkalinity is time, as the mineral cartridge is constantly hanging down submerged in water; the minerals are constantly enriching the water, causing them to diminish over time. This is why we have set a 6 month timeframe on our units, as this is the estimated lifespan of the filter sets. If you have not had your product for nearly 6 months, or have not run near 500 gallons of water through your unit and are having alkalinity issues, please call distributor services so that they may trouble-shoot the issue. 5 VelaWorld Distributor Service FAQs VELUMINA: Product Questions What are the main benefits of Velumina?
