TERSANO LBU100 Lotus® Sanitizing System

Amazon.com Product Description:

The lotus system safely removes bacteria, viruses, and pesticides from food.

It also sanitizes children's toys, teethers, and pacifiers with ease.

Tap water treated with the lotus system cleans and sanitizes kitchens, bathrooms, and other high-risk surfaces and locations without harsh chemicals, fumes, or residue.

Take a step towards healthier living! This amazing Sanitizing System from Tersano lets you turn on your faucet and treat your home to an effective sanitizer that safely wipes out germs, odors, stains, mold, mildew and pesticides -- all without chemicals.

When you use lotus, you turn ordinary tap water into the world's most powerful sanitizer in about two minutes, for a fraction of a penny. Studies have shown that ozone is 50-percent more powerful and more than 3,000 times faster acting on bacteria than chlorine -- at 100 times the strength. Water treated with this system will kill 99.9 percent of germs on any surface it contacts.

Use the lotus to clean countertops, appliances, floors, high chairs and other baby items, upholstery, windows, cutting boards, and any surface that attracts mold or mildew. Even carpet and laundry stains -- including red wine and pet stains -- are easy to remove, with no harsh fumes or residue. Lotus also eliminates germs and pesticides from your food. It even extends the shelf life of fruit and produce up to four times longer than if they've been rinsed with tap water.

The lotus system can even be used to freshen and deodorize pet areas, or other potentially smelly places.

The system has two main purposes: (1). to disinfect surfaces and (2). to remove pesticides and kill germs on food. It does this using ordinary tap water.

The lotus patented Oxyshield technology infuses cold tap water with an extra oxygen atom, creating a natural sanitizer. By passing air through 4,500 volts of electricity, the lotus system splits oxygen molecules into atoms and forces this extra atom to combine and form super-oxygen, or ozone. The third oxygen atom becomes the sanitizing agent, a natural oxidant -- which kills bacteria and viruses, and neutralizes pesticides.

Using the lotus spray bottle, it takes about two to three minutes to turn tap water into antibacterial lotus water with 100-percent potential (this is indicated on the unit); and then it remains fully effective for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, the contents begin to revert to plain water. A countdown timer on the unit tells you when it's time to reload and recharge.

Once the tap water reaches its fully transformed potential (in about five minutes, if you’re using the bowl), maximum bacteria and pesticide reduction is achieved after two minutes of soaking. That same helpful countdown timer tells you when your food is completely sanitized and cleansed of pesticide residues.

The lotus Sanitizing System was recognized as one of the Best Inventions of 2006 by Time Magazine. It was also recognized by Donny Deutsch as The Big Idea of the Month.

Rating : - FANTASTIC PRODUCT, I USE IT CONSTANTLY
I bought both units from Costco. I had a lot of problems with the water processor. I rarely did with this one, once I learned how to use it properly. READ! READ! READ!

IF you have any problems Tersano is FANTASTIC about repairing and promptly returning, shipping paid both ways, with a pick up by UPS or FedEx, I don't remember which. Actually they sometimes returned an extra pitchers in the box. I sent it in 3 or 4 times and they were great every time. I finally returned that one to Costco.
This one I haven't had to send in I just can't remember where I put my spare Booster Cartridges. I found the most error msgs. I got with this unit was when the water level was on the line or Below. If I overfilled it, it seemed to be less of a problem. If you need a new cartridge you will get an F1 error. That means it is taking too long to process. Just READ & Follow the Instructions. Fantastic Unit.

Tersano says not to drink this water but to get the other processor for drinking water, I Wonder Why? I have found I can take filtered water from my refrigerator, process it, let it sit for at least 15 minutes and then drink. JUST DON'T Drink Too Soon, 15 min. +++. I use the spray bottle minus the top to make it easier to process my drinking water. I may buy a Pur countertop filter to put it in after processing and see if that is even better. Sometimes the Ozone taste is a little strong but I don't mind it as it disapates with time. I like having the water treated.
ONE MORE Thing, DO NOT push down too hard or you will eventually loosen the part in the bottom of the spray bottle. I ruined a new spray bottle, it came apart. Put it on with a little pressure firm, Not a Lot. Have it on the correct setting, depending on which unit you're using, and you'll do Fine. You Will Love It as Many Others Do Also as I have been reading.

I am going on about 1 & 1/2 years of use now and I still Love It! If it died completely I would Buy Another One Immediately.
