Hi, I've just ordered the portable unit. Q: how do you clean it? And how long can you keep liquid after structuring? Do you have to use it immediately

You don't really have to clean it. But if you want to you can mix a little soap and warm water and pour it through the unit. If you use it for other liquidsbesides water just make sure you flush it out with water really good. :)

STORAGE OF STRUCTURED WATER: Answer: The duration Structured Water remains structured depends upon its surroundings in the moment. Direct sunlight 7 to ten days but if it is indoors or covered it will stay structured for a time depending on its surroundings. If the energy in its field of influence is detrimental to life, it will correct this energy to the fullest extent of its ability and once saturated will fall back. If the energy is enlivening and life giving it will last a very long time. CLEANING UNIT: Clean by soaking the unit in a bath of waterand apple cider vinegar, warm soapy water, or by running thruthe dishwasher.More information contact: Natural Action Structured Water STORAGE OF STRUCTURED WATER: Answer: The duration Structured Water remains structured depends upon its surroundings in the moment.

It is very easy to clean. Daily, you are supposed to empty it out (so water doesn't sit and allow bacterial growth). Weekly, you rinse it with water and a bit of vinegar. Specifically, fill it with water and 2 tsp of vinegar, give it a little swish, let it sit for 20 minutes, swish it again, then rinse it. You can watch the video on Amazon (next to the picture of the product) in which the lady demonstrates the cleaning process; in just a couple of minutes, the video shows you all that needs to be done.

I have heard that some people warm it up by putting the container in hot water. I got mine in the summer so it was liquid. I just transfered it to another container.

I have not had to clean the unit - it comes with a "demineralization" cartridge that is built into the reservoir lid. If it will not be used for a period of several days, empty and let the reservoir dry to prevent mildew.

Thanks for the tip. I am especially interested in using the unit while I'm traveling, and as such don't have the large cleaner or canned air (it's harder and harder to travel with gear these days unless you check your bags - which I don't do unless absolutely necessary).Does anyone have experience using the unit while traveling?

I have not had to clean mine yet, due to the water we have (very few minerals in it), but when brewing a bussing sound is normal, but this unit is suppose to shut off in 90 or so seconds after brewing a cup of coffee. Which means the blue indicator lights that you have on the unit that blink after you brew a cup will stop flashing , and you would need to press the on button again to turn the unit on before you can brew another cup. In short, if the lights don't go off, you have a problem, and if they do, the unit would not be able to overheat because it would be off. Hope that helps. Also, if you have cleaned the unit, you likely opened up the cap that gives you access to the water filter section, I do know that if that has not been put back on correctly, the unit will be very loud, and not function properly (wife when she first used it thought that was were the water was poured into, and didn't get it back on correctly), the way the marking are for lock/unlock really do not line up correctly, so you have to make sure you secure it back on correctly.

It's not bad to clean. I just rinse it and wipe it quickly with a sponge. I only use it for protein so it kinda has a lingering smell of protein but it's better than over washing it. Don't do that because it battery powered and it might mess it up. The bottom that covers the batteries is pretty tight though so quick rinses shouldn't mess it up. I use mine everyday twice a day and it still works great after about 2-3 months.

There is no need to clean the unit after every use if you do not choose to, though I would reccomend cleaning intermittently to maintain cleanliness and maintaining the unit. I am not clear on why some find it so difficult as I have no issues cleaning mine.

I have only used it for one week. so I haven't done any cleaning yet. The manual suggests empty water from the water tank and basin daily and dry water basin with dry cloth. Here is the weekly cleaning: fill tank with 1/2 gallon of warm water and 2 Tbsp of white vinegar and shake vigoroualy and let it sit for 20-30 minutes. Do the same for the basin except shaking. and wipe wipe it dry. I seems like a lot of work. I hope this will help you. Chung

I love it too! I use distilled water so don't have a lot of clean-up. Just use a bit of vinegar occasionally to wipe out the inside and to clean the little metal piece in the bottom. See directions that came with it.

Don't take i apart to clean it, just put hot water & soap in a pan/cup and blend it for a few seconds then rinse and dry (unplug to dry!!).

The manual for cleaning is more complicated then it needs to be. I have found by just running warm water over the disconnected top and brushing the lower unit it has remained clean and sharp for the next use.

Yes, I found it needed cleaning thoroughly once a week. Instructions tell you how to pop it apart. I used a tooth brush type cleaner. In between I popped it apart and rinsed well each night. Really liked it as it did not leak. But then lost it and the replacement had a top that sometimes snapped into place and other times not. Finally stopped using it. When it worked it was great. Good luck.

It all comes apart and you can wash it with soap and water. I wouldn't boil it. You can fill it with hot, sudsy water and pump it until the tube/pump is cleared, then rinse thoroughly. I'm just noticing that some people had problems using this with liquid makeup. That's what I bought mine for and it works perfectly.

Use baking soda and hot, hot water. Let it sit for 10 minutes or so and then rinse with warm water afterwards.Will be good as new. I use mine for Iced tea and can get quite awful looking if not cleaned thoroughly.

I rinse it with hot water on vibrate, then put the foil back on and pump a little bit of liquid hand soap. I then turn it on and occasionally put a few drops of water. After about 30 secs, I take the foil out and then run hot water while the unit is on. I always do the cleaning when it is not plugged in for safety purposes. Let the foil and unit sit on a small towel to dry for the next time.
