Amazon.com Product Description


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

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.
Live Chemical Free with the lotus Sanitizing System

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.
How It Works

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.

5 out of 5 stars Everyone should have one!   December 19, 2008
I have had my lotus for six months now and LOVE it! I got it because I was nursing and wanted to stop eating pesticides and cleaning with chemicals with my baby in the house. I use this to clean everything, even mop the floors! It truly does sanitize things and removes odors. I even use it to 'strip' and sanitize my cloth diapers when they get smelly or leaky due to soap residue. This is fantastic and so much healthier than using chemicals. It is amazing that you can also lengthen the shelf life of produce by sanitizing it and even reduce your risk of salmonella or e-coli exposure. Get one! One tip if you ever have trouble go to their web site and see the troubleshooting guide. I was having trouble with the 'high contaminate warning' b/c our water is so full of minerals. I use well filtered water now and it works everytime!


5 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC PRODUCT, I USE IT CONSTANTLY   November 29, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

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.



5 out of 5 stars Great!   November 5, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

What a great product! I would spend so much time washing my produce with different things and never knowing if it was really clean. This product gives me peace of mind, saves water and money from buying or making my own cleaners. it is interesting that some produce takes two cycles to get clean. You would never know by looking at it because we cant see all the pesticides and bacteria. Thanks!


2 out of 5 stars MINE BROKE TOO!   October 11, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I was a little wary when I saw so many reviews saying that their lotus broke down. However, I liked the concept so much I thought I would roll the dice. Sure enough, MINE BROKE TOO!

The company sent me a new one and so far after three uses it is still alive. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

My hubby bought me this from Costco as he knows I like to clean things and like to be greener and healthier. After reading the instructions three times, I tried it out. I love it for produce that I buy from the store. I have had the F1 error message, but had no problems emptying the water, rinsing the produce again, and then refilling the bowl. The second time I had no problems at all. I think the main problem with the reviewers is that they are not reading the instructions and not rinsing and scrubbing where applicable, the foodstuffs that you intend to sanitize. This product does not make life easier in terms of the amount of effort and time you spend wiping and spraying and rinsing out the towels. However, I don't mind putting in the effort if it means that I don't use toxic chemicals in my home around my toddler, and also that I don't hurt our planet with disposable products that contain chemicals as well. Using it to clean and sanitize surfaces requires that you spray, wipe, rinse the towel, spray again and wipe and then one more time. So there is a lot of rinsing the towel and wiping. I enjoy using it to clean the kitchen counters after putting away groceries that were in bags that were previously in the dirty shopping cart. I also use it after preparing any raw meat or poultry. It makes me feel better knowing that I won't make my family sick from not cleaning the counters as well as I could. I can't imagine not having it to sanitize, or having to go back to using Pine-Sol or disposable wipes.

So far the unit works well for me. It takes some time to get all the produce cleaned and sanitized after returning from the store, but I do notice that they last much longer in the fridge. Also, the taste is better and fresher.

As for the spray bottle, I use it to deodorize various rooms in the house and the diaper pail, which gets really stinky. It works great on odors such as the bathroom and doggie smell, and I also use it daily to clean the kitchen trash can outside, the bathroom faucets, light switches, and kitchen drains. If you use it as much as I do, you will never have a slimy stinky kitchen drain!

Another plus is that I feel safer using this instead of Pine-Sol in areas and on things my child handles a lot.

The only big downside I had was that the sprayer that came with the unit stopped spraying a fine mist after a while, no matter how much the end cap part was turned. I couldn't turn it anymore, but it only produced a course spray. This is the one that has four holes in the sprayer cap. My husband bought a separate sprayer to be used on non-food type things, and that sprayer had only one hole and it still produces a fine mist. This newer spray bottle is clear with a blue trigger nozzle. The one that came with the bowl unit is a tinted clear blue.

The other problem which is minor is that the insert that holds down the produce in the bowl has these ridges, which I think are okay. But the problem is that if you turn the knob to close the drain holes on the lid, put the lid on the bowl, and then when you turn it to open the drain holes to drain the water out, the insert turns with the knob and those ridges sometimes damages and bruises the produce that is touching the insert.

Other than those two reasons I really enjoy using this product and haven't had any mechanical problems. I believe I received sometime in March 2008 and been using it everyday since then.
