Frequently Asked Questions
How much oil can I put into the SmartWasher
®
at a time?
As with all parts cleaners, excessive greases, oils and uids should
be disposed of prior to washing parts. The SmartWasher
®
can handle
large, tough, dirty jobs, but was not designed to be - nor should be
treated as - a waste oil dump.
Can I use other uids in my SmartWasher
®
?
The SmartWasher
®
parts washing system has been painstakingly
developed to work eectively as a whole: SmartWasher
®
, OzzyJuice
®
and OzzyMat
®
. Other solutions may damage the machine or kill
Ozzy
®
, thereby eliminating the advantages of the SmartWasher
®
. The
use of other solutions in the SmartWasher
®
will void the warranty.
Can the SmartWasher
®
overheat if the OzzyJuice
®
gets
low?
NO. The heater is automatically de-activated when the “Add Fluid”
indicator light is illuminated. While the pump will continue to operate,
the heater will not be reactivated until (1) entire 20L container of
OzzyJuice
®
is added to the system and the “Add Fluid” indicator light
is o.
Can I simply add water to the SmartWasher
®
to adjust
the uid level?
NO. Adding water will dilute the OzzyJuice
®
, severely impacting its
performance.
How often do I add OzzyJuice
®
to the SmartWasher
®
?
The SmartWasher
®
comes equipped with an add uid light which
illuminates when you are low on uid. When this light is on simply
add (1) 20L container of OzzyJuice
®
to bring the uid level up to
normal. On average, with normal use, you will add (1) 20L container of
OzzyJuice
®
approximately every six to eight weeks.
How quickly can Ozzy
®
break down oil and grease? Once
activated, Ozzy
®
and his friends are constantly eating. Assuming the
system is operating optimally (OzzyJuice
®
temperature between
40°C - 46°C and the OzzyMat
®
routinely changed a minimum of once
every 30 days) the rate at which the hydrocarbons can remediate can
approach 80% every seven days. Analyses performed on samples of
used OzzyJuice
®
from operating SmartWasher
®
systems consistently
show oil and grease levels in the 1,400 parts per million range. BY
COMPARISON, used, non-bioremediating, aqueous cleaners can
average over 20,000 parts per million of oil and grease.
How often do I change the OzzyMat
®
?
At least once a month. This simple act accomplishes three things:
First, it keeps trapped contaminants from reaching inappropriate
levels. Secondly, Ozzy
®
microbes are introduced into the
SmartWasher
®
system through the OzzyMat
®
. Every time you change
the OzzyMat
®
you introduce fresh Ozzy
®
(s) to the existing microbe
colony which keeps the system working at an optimum level. Finally,
changing the OzzyMat
®
keeps sludge from building up in the base
of the unit. If the OzzyMat
®
is not changed regularly and allowed to
become clogged, large contaminants can ow into the reservoir via
the overow holes in the sink, potentially causing sludge to build up.
Does anything kill Ozzy
®
?
YES. Any biocides designed to kill microbes, such as bleach and
Lysol™, will kill Ozzy
®
; chemicals that kill living things like some strong
pesticides and rat poison may be harmful to Ozzy
®
.
How do I dispose of the OzzyMat
®
?
In many areas the OzzyMat
®
can be disposed of in a nonleaching,
sealed manner, and disposed of as solid waste. But it must always
be disposed of in accordance with the National, State or local
regulations.
What do I do if the OzzyMat
®
clogs up quickly with
grease?
The FL-4 OzzyMat
®
has 4 layers intended to be peeled away weekly,
which helps eliminate unnecessary clogging. If you are using the
FL-4 OzzyMat
®
then you need to make sure you are peeling away
the individual layers on a weekly basis. Change the entire OzzyMat
®
on the 4th week OR every month. Make sure to remove any excess
grease, dirt and debris from dirty parts prior to washing.
Is there a warranty for the SmartWasher
®
?
The SmartWasher
®
is warranted against defects for two years.
