Solution Preparations

Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) Preparation

1. Fill the Bottle:

   • Add TAP WATER to the fill line in your bottle. Do not use filtered, RO, or distilled water as the chlorine in the tap water is necessary for activation.

2. Start the Machine:

   • Press the power button. You should hear a beep, and the indicator light at the base will flash with colored lights, indicating that the machine is operating normally.

3. Completion:

   • Once the disinfectant is made, the machine will automatically stop and turn off. The buzzer will sound three times to indicate that the disinfectant is ready. 

*Refer to the Echo Clean Unboxing & Instructional Video for visual guidance.

Sodium Hypochlorite (NaCl) Preparation

1. Check the Bottle:

   • Ensure there is no foreign matter inside the bottle.

2. Prepare the Salt Solution:

   • Place one spoon of salt into the measuring glass (do not exceed the edge of the spoon).
   • Add 1 and 1/3 cups of TAP WATER to the measuring glass and stir until the salt is completely dissolved. D not use filtered, RO, or distilled water as the chlorine in the tap water is necessary for activation.

3. Fill the Bottle:

   • Pour the dissolved salt solution into the bottle.
   • Add clean water up to the maximum water line.
   • Tighten the sprayer.

4. Activate the Machine:

   • Shake the bottle to mix the saline solution evenly.
   • Press the power button at the base. The buzzer will sound once, the indicator light will flash with changing colors, and bubbles will appear in the bottle, indicating that the machine is operating normally.

5. Caution:

   • The machine's base is the sodium hypochlorite generator, which is not waterproof. Do not rinse or soak it in water.

Both Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) and Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl) serve as powerful disinfectants with distinct yet complementary functions. Here's a breakdown of their roles:

The function of Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) in Echo Clean:

1. Disinfection:

   • HOCl is a highly effective disinfectant that kills a wide range of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It is particularly known for its gentleness on surfaces while being tough on germs, making it suitable for sanitizing surfaces that come into contact with food, skin, or sensitive areas.

2. Safety:

   • HOCl is non-toxic and safe for use around people, pets, and food. It is naturally produced by the human immune system, which means it is effective without being harmful, making it ideal for daily use in homes, schools, and healthcare settings.

3. Odor Control:

   • It effectively neutralizes odors by breaking down odor-causing bacteria, leaving spaces fresh and clean without harsh chemical smells.

The function of Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl) in Echo Clean:

1. Disinfection:

   • Sodium hypochlorite is a potent disinfectant that kills a broad spectrum of germs and viruses. It is particularly effective for more robust cleaning tasks, such as deep cleaning or environments where high levels of sanitation are required. However, it is not suitable for surfaces that come into contact with food, skin, or sensitive areas.
     

2. Bleaching and Stain Removal:

   • NaOCl has strong bleaching properties, making it effective at removing stains and whitening surfaces. It can be used for tasks like cleaning grout and sanitizing heavily soiled areas. Sodium hypochlorite may or may not have a bleaching effect on fabrics. Always test the surface prior to use.

3. Versatility in Use:

   • While it is a more aggressive cleaner compared to HOCl, NaOCl is versatile and widely used in various industries for disinfecting, sterilizing, and cleaning.

Summary:

• HOCl in Echo Clean is ideal for daily disinfection, especially in sensitive areas, due to its safety and efficacy.
• NaOCl is more suited for intensive cleaning where its strong disinfecting properties are beneficial.

Both HOCl and NaOCl produced by the Echo Clean device provide comprehensive cleaning and disinfecting solutions, ensuring a hygienic environment with flexibility depending on the cleaning needs.

Echo Clean™ vs. Household Bleach: A Safer, Less Toxic Way to Clean!

We all know how strong and sometimes harsh household bleach can be, right? Traditional bleach typically comes in at a concentration of 5.25-6.25% chlorine and for sanitizing, you’re looking at 50-200 ppm.

But here's the great news – Echo Clean™ offers a way to get the job done without the intense chemicals or harsh fumes! Let’s take a look at how Echo Clean™ compares to bleach based on scoops and cycles:

Echo Clean™ Levels (Sorted by Scoops):

With just 1 scoop of kosher salt, you’re getting great cleaning power, but with a lot less toxicity than traditional bleach. No need to hold your breath or worry about tough chemical residues!

Echo Clean™ Levels (Sorted by Cycles):

Whether you’re doing a light clean or a deeper scrub, Echo Clean™ gives you flexibility without compromising your health – and we’re all about that life! 🌱✨

Echo Clean™ Chlorine Levels (Using Tap Water & No Salt):

Bonus: If you're using Echo Clean™ with tap water (no salt), it produces super low chlorine levels, from 5 to 25 ppm, while maintaining a stable, safe pH level. So it's perfect for gentle yet effective cleaning without worrying about damaging surfaces or overwhelming odors. 

In a nutshell, Echo Clean™ gives you all the sanitizing and disinfecting power you need without the heavy-duty toxins or fumes of traditional bleach. It’s like the eco-friendly hero of your cleaning routine – safer for you, your family, and the planet. 

Charging

Charging Process

•  The charging port is located in the back of the generator. Make sure to only use a 5V-2AH charging block (If the charging block you are using is larger than 2 amps or classified as a "fast" charger, you will experience charging issues.)
• The indicator light will display a red flashing light during charging and will turn off once charging is complete.  
• The colored lights that flash during production do not signify anything in particular. Enjoy the show!

Low Battery Alert

• If the red indicator light flashes for 5 seconds during operation, the battery is low and needs to be charged.

Maintenance

To keep your Echo Clean™ device running smoothly and performing its best, regular maintenance is key! By following this simple schedule, you'll extend the life of your generator and ensure every clean is a fresh one.

Routine Maintenance Cleaning: After Each Full Bottle Use

1. Disinfectant Removal: After 5 days, pour out any remaining disinfectant from the bottle to keep things fresh.
2. Disassemble: Gently unscrew the bottle housing from the base. Use a brush or a warm, damp towel or sponge to clean the threads and seal. (Be extra careful not to let any water get into the electrical ports.)
3. Rinse: Rinse the bottle housing with clean water and let it air dry completely. Pro tip: Avoid using the dishwasher – the bottle housing prefers the old-fashioned hand rinse! 😉
4. Reassemble: Once the bottle and base threads are clean and dry, reassemble your device and you’re ready to create a fresh solution!

Monthly Deep Cleaning:

1. Clean the Bottle: Give the bottle a thorough rinse with clean water to get rid of any lingering residue.
2. Prepare a Cleaning Solution: Mix up a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water, and fill the bottle about 1/4 of the way.
3. Let It Soak: Let the vinegar solution sit for 1-2 hours (or overnight if there’s heavy buildup). This helps dissolve any gunk on the electrode.
4. Shake It Up: After soaking, give the bottle a good shake to dislodge any remaining debris.
5. Rinse Thoroughly: Pour out the vinegar solution and give the bottle another rinse with clean water.
6. Dry in a Ventilated Area: Let the bottle air dry completely in a well-ventilated spot before using it again. Fresh and ready for action!

Important Notes:

• Keep the Base Dry: The base of your Echo Clean™ device (which houses the generator) isn’t waterproof. Always keep the electrical port dry and avoid rinsing or soaking the base during cleaning.

• Monitor Performance: If your Echo Clean™ device starts to lose a bit of its cleaning magic or you notice a buildup of residue, you might want to do deep cleaning a little more frequently.

By following this simple routine, your Echo Clean™ device will stay in top shape for longer, giving you fresher, safer, and more effective cleans every time!
