I have never found anything on this, myself. I usually clean/charge mine every two weeks. I tend to change out the cartridge and water after every third cleaning.

Yes, on the hydraclean base is a status lamp. You should change the solution cartridge when this lamp is lit. (see manual page 7; top of cartridge guide chart.) Also on the shaver itself, a 'faucet" symbol will appear in the LCD when it needs cleaning

I didn't realized this yet. But I found out that the cleaning solution is working very well. The shaver is perfectly cleaned and although I'm cleaning very often it's still on a good level.

My opinion is No. I had the Clean and Renew system on my last Braun razor. It was convenient and made the razor smell nice, but the cleaning cartridges cost money every month. I'm finding it extremely easy to use the tap, brush and rinse in sink method.

Yes, the base that I have with my Braun 360 Complete doesn't recognize that the shaver is it. The shaver does something that makes me think it is aware of the base, so I think the base itself is malfunctioning. My unit is only three months old - not getting the reliability I was expecting.

I have a similar problem. The razor seems to charge, but the base does not recognize it, so I can't run the cleaning cycle. It worked fine for a long time (I don't remember exactly how long), but now the problem is consistent. Taking it out and putting it back in, or trying to push it against the contacts does not help.

Johnny B G is correct. You should just buy the basic one for $35 if it works then great if it is just ok then next time upgrade. It is just like my Phillips electric razors, there are many price levels but they all do basically the same thing, shave my face. I could pay $30 for a basic or $200 for a fancy one with a cleaner and clock (really a clock). I go with the basic everytime because the blades are about $28 to replace so I have a lot of old razors. Hope this helps, and yes Phillips should let you replace the batteries rather than toss the old unit when the batteries fail.

This message will appear when the clean side solution runs low (or empty) and the dirty side tank is full. Check the tanks by lifting the little rubber tabs marked 'dirty' and 'clean' on top of the unit. You must empty the dirty water before you can continue. I always rinse the (dirty) tank and the filter well before I either 1) refill the clean side and continue cleaning, or 2) clean my Scooba 's tanks and filter, and place on charge for the next job.

I use the Cleaning System after every shave and find that the shaver runs smoother than when I don't, indicating some Lubricating function in the cleaning fluid. I generally get about one month before the fluid in the tank gets nasty enough to dump and wash out the holding tank. The Cleaning Liquid is cheaper in some stores. Check around for better pricing.

When it arrived I installed it and let it charge in the base overnight. We've been using it daily ever since, leaving it in the charger between uses. Nothing special done other than the initial overnight charge. Just be sure anytime you put the headset in the charger, to seat the headset well into its mount and you see the blinking charge light and let it do its thing. No more blinking = fully charged, ready for use.Hopefully this battery will last as long as the original, we got about 5 years or more.

Related answer / question .. I do it weekly, but what I'm not sure ( maybe someone here is with a better reading interpretation from manual ) it's when I do need to change the charging base water on tank and how long the cleaning cartridge will last ..

The refillable cartridge take the place of the cartridges. You can buy media such as carbon or zeolite to fill them. The zeolite lasts longer. You can rinse it in old tank water when you do your regular cleaning. My bioload is low, so I only change it out once every few months.

not sure, no indicator on charger or drill, but i have yet to discharge it completely.

No there is no physical or visual indicator to let you know when it needs changing. I have had mine a few years now and I am just assuming that when the time comes for it to need replaced I will start seeing sediment in the water. I will replace it at that time.

I see so many different resetters.. do you have a link to one that will reset OEM and the chips from these 3rd party cartridges? Ive ordered several more of the cartridges sets I also have the jigs that you can drill a hole in the sponge end and refill with a second part of the jig that has the refill needle in it... I would think that filling from the top of the cartridge would be easier.. I think there is a small "bb" that you can push thru and then put a plug in after you refill, but havent looked under the "push here" label to confirm that

The recommendation is to replace the cartridge after every 30-40 tank refills; depending on water quality.If water is hard than replace after every 30 tank refills. If water is softer than replace the cartridge after every 40 tank refills. You'll definately know that its time when a fine white mineral residue accumulates below the mist flow on the surface where the humidifier sits.

I'm trying like heck to find differences but I couldn't. What I DID find for you is a number, CCR2 which probably means Cartridge Clean and Renew 2pack. They look identical to the cartridges I use but it did mention that it's applicable to the 5301 base. I think that may be the first model that used the CCR base. There may be more on the Braun website, but I'm guessing the cartridges are the same and only the bases have changed cosmetically.
