when using the E-cleaner to clean the machine how do know that it can sit for 8 to 9 hours over night and also when leaving it for this amount of time can it damage the plates and inner workings of the machine, i ask because the manual says 3 to 5 hours and also when done is 10 to 12 minutes good enough to flush it out, please message me back

Enagic technicians have given me the instructions, both for the overnight 9 hours, and for the flushing 10 minutes with the e-cleaner cartridge still in the machine, and an additional 3 minutes after you put the filter back in. Then you turn the power back on and you are good to go!

Thanks for your reply. I have also obtained instructions about soaking the system (with both hoses immersed) in "Beauty Water" each night to avoid buildup.

I cleaned mine as shown here and it has more of the tiny bubbles. I guess it worked. I hadn't been aware of any problems.

Enagic: new machines should come with a card spelling out all maintenance procedures to prompt one to read the several instruction sheets. Given the cost and excellence of the machine, this is an oversight, IMO.

@codsteb Soaking overnight in the Beauty Water is an excellent procedure to add to your protocol! I would have added it to this video, had I known about it at the time I filmed it!

At the Las Vegas training this weekend, Enagic confirmed 10 - 15 minutes of flushing after using the cleaning cartridge.

@codsteb If you have hard water, you should clean the machine weekly. If you have not been cleaning it, you can send it in to Enagic for a deep cleaning. The ability to clean the machine is a huge advantage -- other units on the market cannot be cleaned this way, and when too much minerals build up on their plates, the whole chamber has to be replaced - at GREAT cost.

The cleaning powder is just citric acid, nothing toxic there. I don't know how plants would respond to solution of citric acid.

I find it appalling that you have to leave water going down the drain for 10 minutes. Can this water be collected for something? Is there any way it would harm outdoor plants, for instance?

Also, this machine should be cleaned weekly?? I had no idea, and I have had mine for 10 months and never cleaned it. The instructions that come with it are very inferior. That cleaning "filter" has been sitting in its bag for 10 months because I didn't know what to do with it. Sheesh again.

Hi Ed,

I got the 10 and 3 minute instructions from 2 separate Enagic tech people. One actually said up to 15 for the first flush. One said as little as 7 minutes, so I went with 10.

This is really helpful!! However, I only flush the re-usable citrus cartridge and the High Grade Filter Cartridge unit for 2 minutes each instead of 10, or 3 minutes, and find that 2 minutes for each is quite sufficient.

The SD501 comes with only 6 citrus cleaning packets, so be sure to go to the company site and order a box of 24 of the citrus cleaning packets for $24 packets. It's only $1.00 to clean the unit each time.
