Frequency

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your Echo Flask™. Follow the instructions below for effective cleaning:

Procedure

1. Prepare the Cleaning Solution

• Mix 1 part white vinegar or citric acid with 3 parts water.
• Avoid using apple cider vinegar or any non-recommended cleaning solutions.

2. Soak the Generator

• Pour the cleaning solution into your Echo Water bottle.
• Run 1 cycle to pull the solution into the generator.
• When the cycle is over, let the solution soak for an additional 2–3 hours.
• For stubborn buildup, odors, tastes, or grime, allow your bottle to soak overnight.

3. Final Rinse

• Discard the cleaning solution.
• Rinse the bottle thoroughly with warm, filtered water.
• Fill the flask with clean water and run a 1-2 cycles to flush out any remaining cleaning solution.
• Discard the water after the cycle(s) is complete.

4. Clean the Gasket

• Use tweezers to remove the gasket/seal from the lid carefully. Ensure you do not puncture or damage the gasket/seal.
• Rinse the gasket/seal thoroughly under warm water, removing any debris or buildup from the gasket/seal and the area of the lid it covers.
• Reinsert the gasket/seal into the lid. For the Echo Flask™ ensure the “line” side faces inward when positioning it back in place.

Here's a quick demonstration on how to remove the lid (Time 2:32), take out the gasket/seal (Time 0:39), properly reinsert it (Time 1:04), and then how to put the lid back on (Time 2:18).

4. Final Operation

• Once the bottle, lid, and gasket/seals are clean, fill the bottle with filtered water.
• Your Echo Flask™ is now thoroughly cleaned, descaled, and ready for regular use. Perform this deep cleaning process as directed to maintain your Echo Water bottle's optimal performance and cleanliness.
