What is ozonation?
In the ozonation process, the Lotus system takes oxygen from the air to add an extra oxygen molecule to water, which oxidizes and kills germs, dirt, and microorganisms. This produces a chemical-free sanitizer that is 3000 times faster and 50% stronger than chlorine bleach. The liquefied oxygen reverts back into water and oxygen after it’s used, leaving no toxins, fumes, or residues.
How often should I change the booster cartridge?
There is an indicator on the back of the home cleaning system that will turn from orange to green when the cartridge needs to be changed. The booster cartridge needs to be replaced every 2-3 months, depending on climate humidity.
What does the booster cartridge do?
The booster cartridge is designed to remove excess moisture from the air. The ozonation process pulls the oxygen from the air to attach an extra oxygen molecule to the water, which is what gives the water its cleaning and sanitizing power.
How difficult is it to change the filter?
The filter is very easy to change. There is no need for any tools or disassembly of the unit.
Do I have to use filtered water with this system? Will it harm the system to use filtered water?
No. The Lotus system is compatible with tap water, well water, and filtered water.
What happens if I wait more than 45 minutes to use the water in the spray bottle?
The water will just revert back to its original state before it was treated by the Lotus system.
Do I ever need to clean the system?
No. The Lotus system is self-cleaning. However, you may want to wash the bowl out with dish soap from time to time since the entire bowl does not become submerged during the process.
