Cleaning Cartridge Instructions for Echo 7, 9, 9 Ultra, H2, Ultimate Machine.

Please see the instructions below for each of the machines that you can clean with the cleaning cartridge.

Echo H2 Machine:

1. Turn off the unit: Ensure the power is completely off.
2. Remove the main filter: Detach the main Tag filter and place it in a container to catch any residual water and prevent leaks.
3. Install the cleaning cartridge: Attach the cleaning cartridge in place of the main filter.
4. Turn on the water: Set the water knob to the "On" position to allow water to flow through the unit. Let the water run until it starts coming out from the top of the machine.
5. Turn off the water: Once water begins to flow from the top, shut off the water and let the unit sit overnight to allow for thorough cleaning.
6. Reinstall the main filter: Replace the cleaning cartridge with the main filter.
7. Flush the unit: Run filtered water through the machine for 3 minutes to clear any cleaning residue.

Echo Ultimate:

1. Remove the main TAG filter: Detach the main TAG filter and set it aside in a container to prevent leaks.
2. Install the cleaning cartridge: Insert the cleaning cartridge in place of the main TAG filter.
3. Run each water setting:
   • Run the unit on each water setting (H2, alkaline, acidic, and filtered) for at least 10 seconds per setting.
   • This ensures the cleaning solution circulates through all water pathways.
4. Turn off the unit: Once all settings have been run, turn the unit off and let it sit overnight for thorough cleaning.
5. Reinstall the main TAG filter: After cleaning, replace the cleaning cartridge with the main TAG filter.
6. Flush the unit:
   • Run water through the machine for 30 seconds on each setting (H2, alkaline, acidic, and filtered) to ensure all cleaning solution residue is thoroughly removed.

Special Note:

If the unit displays a "Non-authentic filter" message during the process:

• Turn the unit off and back on, then attempt to change the setting again.
• If the message persists, install the Main TAG filter temporarily to allow the unit to recognize an authentic filter and clear the error message.
• Once resolved, remove the Main TAG filter and reinstall the cleaning cartridge to complete the cleaning process
