EcoloxTech Electrolyzed Water System, Generate Disinfectant (Hypochlorous Acid HOCl) or Degreaser (KOH)

I love, and use, them both. They each have their own unique features and benefits, as well as disadvantages.That I can make 200ppm with a DIY recipe in one cycle keeps FON relevant, for me. I think the design is clever, since the electronics and the liquids are completely separate from one another. The build quality feels flimsy, but I haven't had any issues yet. The smaller capacity is not ideal, but I've gotten pretty efficient at making a gallon each week, running 2 FON devices simultaneously.Each FON cycle runs at about 6 minutes, compared to the 8 minute cycle of the EcoOne. The EcoOne can make a 500ml batch (about 2x the FON batch) in one 8 minute cycle, saving 4 minutes over the 12 minutes it takes to make 2 consecutive batches in the FON. (Unless you have multiple FON devices running simultaneously)The EcoOne can be used at the full 1.5 liter capacity (4 FON-sized batches) to make 200ppm, but that takes 3 full 8 minute cycles, which is equal to the amount of time to run 4 consecutive 6 minute FON cycles. 24 minutes, using either device, again, unless you have more than one FON device at your disposal.The build quality of the EcoOne is superior. Thicker plastic pitcher, decent handle, no constantly flashing lights (until the end of the cycle, anyway), but I am concerned that the electronics are housed directly beneath all that liquid.That the handle has seams along the sides and bottom make me nervous that all the weight of the liquid could cause it to crack or weaken, over time, so I make sure to support the pitcher with one hand, while I hold the handle with the other, especially with those full to the brim 1.5 liter batches.Bubbles build up underneath the conductive mesh with each cycle I run, and when I pick it up by the handle, those large bubbles rush to the surface. One of these days, I fear those bubbles will be an indication of liquid leaking into the electronics compartment, but for now, EcoLox reassures me that it is normal. They asked me to look for liquid seeping through the vents at the bottom, so if you do see liquid underneath, unplug and do not operate the EcoOne.I like the practical design of the FON, but love the modern aesthetic of the EcoOne. I would leave the EcoOne on my countertop, while the FON looks more like a bottle-warmer to me.The countdown timer on the FON display is handy, while the EcoOne offers no way to gauge how much time is left.I prefer the older version of FON that displayed "minutes : seconds", like a clock, over the newer version that only shows seconds remaining. I never leave either one plugged in, so the 14-day countdown is useless, and ridiculously bright at night, to my eye. My cleanser never lasts more than a week, anyway.I would prefer to hear the audible ding at the end of an EcoOne cycle rather than when it's plugged in, but FON has no audible notification of any kind.The build of the FON A/C plug and wire has gotten cheaper over the two versions I have purchased this year. The two flexible wire connections are thinner and softer plastic in the more recent of the two.The EcoOne has a much thicker power cord, as well as a second cable to connect the separate power source to the outlet. I trust the quality, and consistent current, of this much more substantial power source over the flimsy, disposable look and feel of the FON's power cord. The plug on the FON gets quite warm after my weekly cleanser-making session.When I bought my FON, they had $50 off codes for the $90 Starter Kit, so I spent $40 on each one. At the time, the EcoOne was $170, over 4 times what I paid for the FON. Even with 4x the capacity, it was hard to justify that cost, upfront. Especially since I had been making my own version of the FON capsule solution, and wasn't spending any additional funds on the proprietary capsules. I still have 2 of the five original capsules that came with my Starter Kit.That said, if you had been considering buying capsules, the EcoOne makes far more financial sense, over time, as an initial purchase. They make their salt and vinegar proportions freely available, without any further investment. FON frowns upon DIY solution experimentation and will use fearmongering tactics to dissuade anyone from trying, but I measure each portion of salt and vinegar individually, weighing on a gram scale, to ensure consistency between batches, and I've never accidentally made bleach. It can be done, but is the exception, not the rule, if you measure each ingredient individually for every single batch.The EcoOne sales model empowers you to make your own cleanser after you purchase their appliance, but you never send them another dime. You use your own salt (kosher, without additives or anti-caking agents is optimal) and vinegar to make their hypochlorous acid cleanser. EcoOne also offers an option to make a separate degreaser, using potassium carbonate. They include a 100 gram portion each of salt and potassium carbonate in the box, when you purchase the EcoOne, as well as a gram measuring spoon. I found the measuring spoon to be inaccurate with the salt they provide, so I weigh it with a gram scale, for the highest accuracy. They also include some chlorine testing strips, to check for sanitizer concentration in parts per million (ppm).*Edited to add that EcoLoxTech is no longer including the container of salt, nor the sanitizer test strip dispenser. You might receive a few sample test strips, but otherwise, the only supplies included are the measuring spoon and the potassium carbonate. To ensure you have the right type of salt, before you receive your order, check the ingredients. It should have no anti-caking additives and be non-iodized. There is a list of recommended salt on the EcoLoxTech website. Costco also offers an affordable additive-free sea salt that works fine..*Both companies offer affiliate links, to the tune of $20 for each device purchased with your link, with a significant social media presence, and following, being the qualifying criteria. FON also has capsule-earning links, for those who share their link with family and friends, at 25 capsules offered for each unit purchased from your link.*Edited to add that EcoLox seems to no longer offers an affiliate link.*Both devices have a 1-year warranty. I've been using FON since January 2018 (making a gallon's worth each week) and EcoOne since June 2018, and haven't had any issues, yet. It should be noted that FON discourages anyone from making or using DIY solution and will not honor the warranty if you choose to use anything other than their proprietary capsules.Due to my own curious nature, and because I haven't found many unbiased resources, I started my own group on facebook for Force of Nature fanatics, EcoOne enthusiasts and aficionados of hypochlorous acid, generally. We have grown to over 1,100 members and share our favorite uses, as well as discover new ones, each week.I don't post my affiliate links, and no one else can, either, so you know the information you're getting there is unbiased. I purchased every one of the devices I use with my own hard-earned cash. In fact, FON has blocked me from commenting, or even liking anything, on their page, so you know they aren't offering me any perks...Feel free to send a join request, and I will add you more quickly if you answer the gatekeeper questions.

High quality system! I previously had bought a system by another company that had the quality of maybe a cheap water bottle. I was required to buy salt capsules from them to make electrolyzed water. The Eco One is a little more expensive than the other system but defintely worth it! With the Eco One I can just use the same table salt that I buy at the grocery store. In just 5 minutes I generated a 1 liter batch of disinfectant at 50ppm. I tested it with chlorine paper test strips. I found that it makes up to 200 ppm when running multiple cycles. The degreaser is great too for stovetops and ovens. I’m saving atleast $50 per month on cleaning chemicals now. I'm using the sanitizer, which is hypochlorous acid, to sanitize my fresh produce that I buy at the grocery store. After the romaine lettuce outbreak, I decided using an electrolyzed water system would be a great idea.

We're over a year into the pandemic, but still need to be safe. First, we didn't see Covid-19 coming. At ALL! Then, we didn't see the delta variant, either. There is still a need to be safe. Hypochlorous acid is the best of all disinfectants. I'm a dentist, and I did my research. Safe, natural, and a quick kill. It's expensive to buy ready-made, but easy to make with this system. We carry spray bottles with us in our vehicles, but bought an electrostatic sprayer to spray large objects, like me, after work!Great product, and I highly recommend it. Just, don't get it from Super Healthy Life. I loved the customer service rep when I first spoke to her, but she let me down after the sale. After speaking with her a few times, I contacted the company president. Same thing: all talk, no action. Very disappointing business practices. And Amazon wouldn't intervene in my behalf.FIVE STARTS for the water system, ZERO stars for this particular company. BUY IT SOMEWHERE ELSE.

I've only been using this unit for about a week but I am so impressed and happy that I took a chance on it. I've made and used both the disinfectant and the cleaner. Awhile back I read up on the tech/science of hypochlorous acid and was amazed that this powerful disinfectant isn't bottled and sold everywhere. Then I read conflicting arguments on the actual shelf life and decided that I should get my own mini-generator so I can make and keep the disinfectant fresh and powerful. I went searching and found the EcoloxTech Eco One. I use the disinfectant everywhere, but I especially appreciate being able to use it around and in the cat litter boxes. I wasn't expecting the cleaner (potassium carbonate) to be much different than any other cleaner and was really surprised at how well it cleans my tile kitchen countertop and bathroom tile. It left everything so clean and streak free - no film left on the tile. With no extensive reviews to go on, my hope is that this little machine keeps working for a few years. I know I won't be buying other cleaners and disinfectants as long as the Eco One does its job.

You could possibly eliminate all household chemicals with this product saving money and disposables not to mention how toxic some household cleaners are and the risk they hold for children.I got it for the sanitizing solution but the de-greaser is just as useful. Safe for cleaning food (fresh fruits and vegetables) and may reduce pesticide residue from some of the research.

The degreaser easily cleans my heavily used stove hood vent, and no gloves are required because the KOH isn’t made with harsh chemicals. It makes a once dreaded task easy to do and satisfying!I have peace of mind knowing the sanitizer and degreaser are safe to use around my family.The water fill lines on the container are difficult to see, otherwise very easy to use.
