Please follow these instructions for proper use and care for the Aqua Energizer Portable Structured Water Device.
Please note we recommend you only pour water through your Aqua Energizer. If you choose to pour other liquids through it, a quick rinse immediately afterwards is the best practice. Also, the only Aqua Energizer that may require cleaning is the portable. The other devices are all maintained in a clean state by the water that flows through them.
There are a variety of options for cleaning your Aqua Energizer and you are free to choose the option that feels best to you. There is no right or wrong option, just a choice for you to make based on your preferences.
We’ll start with the simplest first. One of our customers taught us that he cleans his portable device with his waterpik. The combination of the simplicity of cleaning with water and pressure is really appealing to us so you might want to start by giving this a try.
If you are after a more thorough cleaning and the issue is not resolved by water under pressure, we recommend beginning by plugging the bottom of the unit with your index finger. Fill with distilled vinegar. Cover the top with your palm. Shake for 20 seconds. Pour out the vinegar. Pour distilled water through the whole unit to rinse. Cover the unit in a glass of distilled water for an hour or more. Remove from the distilled water and set unit on its side to dry. Place the unit under the sink faucet and flush with warm water until water is clear.
If you have Extra Hard Water and notice extra mineral build up on the outside of the device, do the following:
Add 3 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of salt to a container of water. Place the Portable device in a container of water. Leave the unit submerged for one hour. Then rinse thoroughly with distilled water. Pour a small amount of fractionated coconut oil to coat the inside of the unit and prevent future issues. Rinse once more with distilled water.
For the strongest cleaning possible for items like mold, mildew or bacteria:
As seen in countless settings around the world including restaurants and hospitals, the safest thing and accepted standard for cleaning mold, mildew or bacteria is killing them with chlorine (or bleach). While we would prefer not to pass chlorine through Aqua Energizers, the reality is there is a little bit of chlorine in almost all water and what we are recommending is simply increasing the concentration for a moment.
Please follow these steps to clean your Portable Aqua Energizer. Please note, there is no exact way, right way or wrong way to do this just like we all wash dishes or clean our kitchen a little differently:
-
Mix chlorine (or bleach) with water in a concentrated amount and pour it into the Aqua Energizer. Leave it for as long as you like from seconds to hours. Fill the whole inside of the portable or just put in an ounce or two and shake it up.
-
Remove the chlorine water mix
-
Rinse thoroughly
-
Prepare a Re-Seasoning Mix with:
2 parts white vinegar
1 part himalayan salt
4 parts warm water
The water in the Re-Seasoning Mix should be warm to the touch but not hot or cold. Think hand washing water temperature. The purpose of the water is to serve as a carrier. The white vinegar serves to aggressively get the chlorine out. The salt, loaded with trace minerals, is what re-seasons the Aqua Energizer. Together the mix removes residual chlorine and restores the natural surface.
-
Pour the Re-Seasoning Mix into the Aqua Energizer, cover the ends and shake vigorously for as long as you like
-
Rinse thoroughly and resume normal use
The Whole House device, the Under Sink, Shower, Garden and Quick Connect devices are self-cleaning by the water flowing through them.
