Item Description:
- Tersano Lotus sanitizing system- A new award-winning chemical-free way to clean. The Lotus converts ordinary tap water into a powerful ozone cleaner. Ozone is a more powerful germ killer than bleach. And it can clean virtually any surface - countertops walls bathrooms carpets. Ozone has been used for many years by water treatment plants swimming pools and food processing plants. It has been recommended by many leading universities as one of the safest most powerful sanitizers. Ozonated water is as safe as ordinary tap water. Because it is made entirely from water and oxygen ozone is the only cleaner with no fumes and no residue. So you can use it near food pets and babies without fear. The Lotus Sanitizer will dramatically reduce your cleaning bill. Most households spend over $100 per year on cleaning supplies. With the Lotus you can make an unlimited supply of cleaner. Chemical cleaners use scents to cover up the foul smell. Lotus water dissolves odor molecules - so it gets rid of odors for good. Try it on gym bags trash cans urine stains shoes and sports gear. Use it on cutting boards counter tops and baby toys. When it comes to food studies have shown that washing food with just water removes only a small percentage of bacteria and pesticides. The lotus removes over 99% of bacteria and most residues. Using an FDA and USDA approved process ozone is also recognized by leading universities and scientists as the most effective and safest way to remove contaminants from food. Organic foods often contain bacteria and farm residue from organic fertilizers like manure. Keep organics clean with the lotus. By eliminating mold and bacteria your berries and other delicate fruits will not spoil as quickly actually most produce will last up to four times as long. With the average family throwing out about $350 per year in spoiled fruits and vegetables the lotus will pay for itself quickly.- Infuses water with super-oxygen in the multi-purpose sanitizing bowl to

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.

Customer Rating: - Use it every day
I heard about this product in Dr. David Williams' newsletter "Alternatives" and bought one for my daughter and her family so she could keep things clean around her investigative 10-month-old without leaving chemical residues. Tried it out when I visited and premptly bought one when I returned home (saving $20 plus shipping at Amazon.) My husband and I have an ongoing war about wiping kitchen counters with sponges that then grow bacteria--he refusing to give them up because "paper towels don't wipe them as clean". Now I just sterilize his beloved sponges every few days. I use it to clean and deodorize our bathrooms. I also use it on vegetables and soft fruit that are hard to clean with veggie clean--especially great on kale, parsley etc. and strawberries. I've also successfully used it to kill mold and mildew. My daughter uses it on little toys after her baby's sniffly friends have been over to play and also to wash boo-boos withour stinging. This is fast becoming my favorite gadget. Every home should have one--at least "green homes" and ones with small children!

Customer Rating: - Love it!
This is an amazing device.

I thought this was a great idea when I saw it, but I was initially skeptical. Let's face, it, you can't really see it working. So I did a few test-runs before I posted this review.

I had a ton of produce in the fridge on the day I got it- kiwi, apricots, grapes, cauliflower, jicama, kumquats, you name it. I rinsed it all and ran everything through the sanitizer, and sure enough, it's a week and a half later, and what's left still looks great. Definitely increases shelf life.

I did do a specific test- I had some cherries were on the verge of getting mooshy, so I decided to run them through the Lotus Sanitizer and put them back in the fridge. We went out of town, and they've been sitting untouched in a bowl in the fridge this whole time. While they look a little wrinkly, they're not fuzzy or slimy, which is definitely what I would expect by this point.

Heavily contaminated or fuzzy items do require extra processing. I had to run grapes, berries, and kiwi though twice. I just tipped the water out through the top of the strainer and refilled- no biggie. We have really hard water here, which I thought might be a problem, but everything went incredibly smoothly.

I do wish that the spray bottle had a bit of a finer spray, but that's quibbling. The oxygenated water made quick work of the mildew in my shower. My husband actually thought that I had used bleach.

Yes, it's initially expensive, but when I think about how much money we've spent on "green" cleaners and spoiled produce, it seems like a no-brainer. I like the fact that we're not adding packaging or chemicals to landfills or groundwater. Plus- what is your peace of mind worth? I rinsed grapes thoroughly in the sink,would have sworn they were clean, and still had to run them through the system twice before they were OK. Normally, that first rinse in the sink would have been all they got. Heaven knows what was on them to begin with...ew.

This system is out on my counter along with my toaster and coffeemaker- it's invaluable. The mopping system and the water purifier are next on my list, and I'm thinking of getting a system for each member of my family for Christmas. Impressive job, Tersano!

Customer Rating: - I LOVE this product and the company who makes it!!!
I have had my Lotus Sanitizing System for a little less than a week now and I love it!!!

I am a cancer patient, recently diagnosed, and also a vegan who eats a great deal of fresh vegetables and fruit. I juice approximately 50 lbs. of carrots per week just for starters. I will be starting chemotherapy this week and the doctors have all emphatically told me that I cannot eat fresh fruits and vegetables unless they can be peeled, but generally not to eat them at all, because of potential bacteria that can lead to infection in chemo patients who have lower immune system functioning. That was shocking to me because those are the foods that we are told are the healthiest for us. I looked around on the web to find out how to wash my produce and quite readily came across the Lotus Sanitizer. Why the physicians don't know about this I'll never know!

I am also a single parent who works the equivalent of 2 full-time jobs, doing low-paid work (teaching and caring for children) so the medical expenses that I currently have, even with self-purchased insurance, are insurmountable. The Tersano Company most graciously donated their Lotus Santizer to me, and had it shipped overnight so that I could have it before I started the chemo treatments. They have been the kindest, most helpful folks that I could ever imagine and I am deeply grateful to them!!!

I have been using the Sanitizer daily since it arrived and it works beautifully! Although I buy organic produce, I have been peeling carrots before I juice them, and when I scrubbed the first batch to put in the sanitizer, I had to run it through twice, because I got the F1 code that says all of the bacteria is not gone (thank goodness for that feature!). However, I bought a stiffer brush to wash the carrots and since then I have only had to run them through the sanitizer once. I have sanitized about 7 very large bunches of spinch and 3 large heads of leaf lettuce and they came out great! Everything I have put through has done very well, with the exception of organic strawberries, and I read somewhere that the little seeds might be a problem, plus berries tend to be the most contaminated. I already can see that I will save a lot of money on produce, because I won't have to peel and throw away all of those peelings from 50 lbs. of carrots per week, plus all of the lettuce and spinach, etc. that goes bad in just a couple of days after I buy it, won't be the case since the Lotus helps produce last longer.

I've also been using the spray bottle attachment to clean my counters and wipe down the bathroom every day. I cannot say enough good things about this system. I wish I had known about it long before, because I could have used much less bleach and ammonia for cleaning purposes. I don't have the mop, but I am going to use the sanitized water today to clean my kitchen floor using the microfiber cloth that came with the system.

This is an awesome product, I am so glad I discovered it and I am so very grateful to this company for their kindness and helpfulness. I am recommending this to everyone I know!!! I am not affiliated with this company in any way, I had never even heard of them until I did a web search trying to find out how to effectively wash produce.

Customer Rating: - Great invention!
We love this thing and use it almost every day. We feel good about the fact that this removes all the pesticides and kills all the bacteria on our produce. We also love using the spray sanitizer in place of chemical cleaners and sanitizers which are not safe for people or the environment. There is a nice clean and fresh smell left behind after cleaning with it which is better than anything made from chemicals. We are definitly going to purchase the mopping system as well as the water purifying system after using this wonderful product. The only down side for us is the fact that we eat a LOT of produce and it takes many 'loads' to clean it all. Also, the bowl is not large enough for some things unless they are cut up which is not recommended in the instructions.
