- How long do I have to use the
water in the Spray Bottle before it reverts to normal tap
water?
You have 15-minutes to use the water in the spray bottle
after the Oxyshield® processing cycle is complete. Your
lotus® Sanitizing system counts down for you and lets you
know when the super oxygenated water has reverted back to
ordinary tap water.
- What type of water should I use
with my lotus® Sanitizing system?
Please use cold municipal treated or equivalent or bottled
water ONLY.
- What is ORP?
ORP is a term used frequently in the water treatment &
food processing industry. ORP stands for Oxidation-Reduction
Potential and is a measure of the cleanliness of the water
& its ability to breakdown contaminants. The higher
the ORP is the more efficient contaminant removal.
- What is the ORP level of the
lotus® Sanitizing System?
The lotus® Sanitizing System delivers an ORP in excess of
800. At an ORP of 800 all microbial life is destroyed and
sterilization is achieved.
- How do I know if the unit is
working and generating Oxyshield® super oxygenated water?
Your lotus® Sanitizing System was in development for well
over three years. The only way that the percentage indicator
on the display can reach 100% is if the water has been fully
oxygenated. It is impossible for the indicator to reach
100% without the Oxyshield® infusion process being complete.
- Why can't I use the water in
the spray bottle after 15-minutes?
Your lotus® Sanitizing System safely infuses ordinary tap
water with super oxygenated water (O3) by utilizing Oxyshield®
technology to force oxygen molecules (O2) to take on an
additional oxygen atom (O1). The unstable nature of super
oxygen is what delivers the sanitizing power of lotus® and
most of the super oxygen reverts back to oxygen after approximately
15 minutes.
- How do I care for my lotus® Sanitizing
System?
Your lotus® Sanitizing System is self-cleaning and as such
caring for your new system has never been easier. As your
attachments cleanse them selves every time you generate
Oxyshield® super oxygenated water; you never have to clean
them. However, if you wish to give any attachments an additional
clean, feel free to do so by placing them on the top drawer
of your dishwasher or use mild soap and luke warm water
to wash and then rinse thoroughly. - Always unplug your

your lotus® Sanitizing System in water or any other liquid
for cleaning. - Never use abrasives, detergents or strong
cleaning agents.

four minutes up to a maximum of eight minutes in the wavy
lines/arrow selector mode (generally for use with the Multi-purpose
Bowl Attachment, Toothbrush Attachment, Baby Bottle Attachment

- What is the number displayed
during processing on the display on the lotus® Sanitizing
System?
The numbers displayed are the percentage of processing completed,
starting with 0% and increasing incrementally by 1% until
100% is reached. The processing is complete once it reaches
100%.
- When the processing is completed
the display shows "15 Min" or "2 Min".
What does this mean?
The spray bottle contains Oxyshield® enriched water, which
can be used for 15 minutes. Once the 15-minute period is
over the water in the spray bottle has reverted back to
normal tap water. The spray bottle should be re-filled and
processing cycle started again. The display will show "2
Min" when using the Multi-purpose bowl mode. The maximum
bacteria and toxin reduction is achieved when your fruits
and vegetables are left in the unit for the additional "2
Min". (Applicable to the knife/toothbrush attachment
and baby bottle attachment as well)

- Do I cut my vegetables before
processing?
The fruits and vegetables should be placed in the lotus®
Sanitizing System whole. The purpose of the lotus® Sanitizing
System is to remove the harmful bacteria and pesticides
from the skin of your fruits and vegetables. Many fruits
and vegetables are grown at ground level and the outer skin
may be contaminated. The contamination is automatically
transferred to the edible portion of your fruits and vegetables
by the knife when you cut them. Therefore always process
your fruits and vegetables whole for the most effective
sanitizing.
- What types of fruits and vegetables
should I use the lotus® Sanitizing System on?
The lotus® Sanitizing System can be used with all types
of fruits and vegetables by either using the Multi-purpose
Bowl attachment or the Spray bottle Attachment. It would
be impossible for you to place a melon in the bowl whole,
but to remove contaminants from the outer skin, process
a Spray Bottle of water. Using the lotus® spray bottle attachment,
saturate the outer skin and wipe clean with a lotus® cleaning
cloth or a clean cloth.
- I want to process my meat, fish
or poultry, how do I do this?
Please use the Multi-purpose bowl attachment and lid and
fill to the max fill line with plain cold water. Place the
Bowl Attachment on the lotus® Sanitizing System, select
the proper mode and process the plain water. Once the system
has reach "100%", remove the attachment, place
on the countertop or sink and drop your meat, fish or poultry
into the water. The meat, poultry and fish should remain
in the water for the "2 minute" period displayed
on the display. Once the display reads "end",
drain the water from the meat and begin preparation. Note:
It is very important to thoroughly wash and rinse your soak
bowl and lid to avoid cross contamination. The lotus® is
self-cleaning, so wash the bowl and lid thoroughly, then
fill with cold clean water and run a second cycle of plain
water. The second cycle cleans, sanitizes and disinfects
your bowl for future use. Tip: You can use the water from
the second cycle to water your plants or disinfect your
sink. The other alternative is to process a spray bottle
of cold tap water. Once the cycle has reached the end, remove
the spray bottle and thoroughly spray the meats. The super
oxygenated water in the spray bottle will kill any contamination
on contact, when sprayed on the meats.
