Appliance needs to be sent for repair. Includes 4 attached filters (2 internal; 2 external) plus unopened new filters (2 citric acid scaling filters, 1 external filter, 6 internal filters).
BTW, the filters alone were purchased for several hundreds of dollars. The appliance, of course, was originally very expensive and was working perfectly until I unplugged it Nov. 2, 2026--possibly a motherboard fail?
I have used & included two external super filters. I had recently replaced the optional Fluoride / Heavy Metal filter which is due yearly, so next due Oct. 10, 2027. The other Super external filter (new, included), also due yearly, is due to be replaced Mar. 19, 2028. The every-4-mos. Citric Acid cleanse (2 new included, w. instructions) is due to be used Dec. 7, 2026.
This LifeIonizer water filter appliance was purchased new more than a decade ago and has been used properly everyday since. It is an older model--9100 countertop (handyman installed bar tap to my sink & attached unit on countertop). Website (with more recent models): lifeionizers.com to inquire about shipping for repair. I maintained this unit (drinking water at alkaline level 2) carefully all these years, buying expensive filters (see included) plus following scaling cleaning (see filters included) acc. to instructions.
City of Melbourne issued a "boil water" alert Nov. 2, 2026 due to break in water main. I unplugged my LifeIonizer from wall outlet and started boiling water (probably unnecessarily, as Ultrafiltration via dual internal filters probably kill bacteria?). When City rescinded their caution--water now proven safe to drink--I plugged my LifeIonizer back into the wall. However, it would not turn on. I contacted tech support in Vista, CA & was told that the problem could be the fuse-- to follow the fuse replacement video for the M9 unit at https://lifeionizers.com/pages/support. Upon inspecting the 2 fuses (one being a spare; both included in this ziploc bag), they did NOT look blown out, but I went to 3 stores with them + specifications (250V 5-10 amp short fuse) until I found the correct new fuse (with spare), now installed. Unfortunately, appliance still did not turn on.
Internet says: may be due to failure of internal power supply (transformer/board) and that LifeIonizers should be able to repair this (maximum charge $199?) if one ships to them.
I printed out the full manual for the recipient to use (if able to get it repaired).
Internet lists these specifications for this model:
Power system: SMPS (switch-mode power supply), 349 watts
9 platinum-coated titanium plates
Self-diagnosing LCD with error display
Dual internal filters
