The self-cleaning function is designed to maintain the cleanliness and optimal performance of Echo devices. Here's how it works:
Automatic Maintenance
- Periodic Cleaning: The function initiates regular cleaning cycles to prevent mineral deposits and impurities.
- Efficiency: Keeps the hydrogen generation process smooth and effective.
Electrolysis Plate Cleaning
- Polarity Reversal: Echo Go uses this to remove mineral buildup on the plates.
- Consistency: Ensures the production of hydrogen-rich water remains consistent and efficient.
Improved Water Quality
- Purity: Regular internal cleaning keeps the water free from contaminants.
- Taste: Enhances the overall taste and quality of hydrogen water.
Extended Device Longevity
- Maintenance Reduction: Reduces the frequency of manual cleaning.
- Durability: Helps prolong the device’s lifespan.
User Convenience
- Automatic Operation: Minimizes the need for user intervention.
- Ease of Use: Makes Echo devices more user-friendly.
How It Works
- Activation: Can be set to run automatically at intervals or manually, depending on your model.
- Cleaning Cycle: Runs a specific sequence to cleanse the electrolysis plates and water pathways.
- Duration: Takes a few minutes, with possible audible signals to indicate progress.
Benefits
- Optimal Performance: Prevents mineral buildup, ensuring efficient hydrogen production.
- Enhanced Water Quality: Produces clean, impurity-free water.
- User-Friendly: Reduces the need for frequent manual cleaning.
- Device Longevity: Keeps internal components clean, extending the life of the device.
Balancing the Polarity
Balancing the polarity helps maintain the efficiency and longevity of Echo devices:
Electrolysis Process
- Separation: Echo devices use electrolysis to split water into hydrogen and oxygen using electrodes.
- Electrodes: Typically made of platinum or titanium, these electrodes are crucial for the process.
Polarity Management
- Charge Switching: Electrodes periodically reverse their charges to prevent mineral buildup.
- Efficiency: Keeps the electrodes clean and the hydrogen production process efficient.
Benefits
- Reduces Mineral Buildup: Keeps electrodes free from mineral accumulation.
- Maintains Efficiency: Ensures continuous and efficient hydrogen production.
- Extends Electrode Life: Regular balancing prolongs electrode and device life.
- Consistent Performance: Maintains the quality and consistency of hydrogen-rich water.
How It Works
- Automatic Balancing: Incorporated into the self-cleaning feature for minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning Cycle: Electrodes are cleaned by reversing the current flow during the self-cleaning cycle.
User Benefits
- Ease of Use: No need to manually clean electrodes.
- Durability: Extends the working life of the device.
- Water Quality: Ensures consistently pure and high-quality hydrogen water.
Reminder
While the self-cleaning function is fantastic, it does not replace the need for occasional handwashing and descaling of your product.
Cleaning Your Echo Device
Regular Upkeep
- Hand Wash: Use non-abrasive dish detergent, focusing on the cap and under the seals. Be gentle to avoid damaging seals.
- Avoid Dishwasher: Do not put Echo products in the dishwasher or submerge in water. Keep electrical components dry, especially the generator’s areas and charging port.
Deep Cleaning
- Descaling Solution: Mix one part white vinegar, lemon juice, or citric acid with three parts water. Soak the generator overnight and rinse thoroughly with warm filtered water. Run a few cycles before use.
- Frequency: Perform descaling once or twice a month to maintain performance.
Tough Grime
- Strong Vinegar Soak: Soak in pure vinegar for 2-3 hours. Use a Q-Tip soaked in the solution to clean cap crevices and seals, then rinse thoroughly.
- Tip: Many users prefer lemon juice as it leaves a nicer aftertaste compared to vinegar or citric acid.
