FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I dispose of the OzzyMat?
In many areas the OzzyMat can be disposed of in a
non-leaching, sealed manner, and disposed of as solid
waste. But it must always be disposed of in accordance
with the Federal, State and local regulations. More Ozzy-
Mat disposal information is located in the Science section
of the ChemFree website, www.chemfree.com.
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 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 Ozzy-
Mat. 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 flow
into the reservoir via the overflow holes in the sink, poten-
tially causing sludge to build up.
What do I do if the OzzyMat clogs up quickly with grease?
If you are using the FL-3 Single Layer OzzyMat then you
may want to switch to the FL-4 Multi-Layer OzzyMat. 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.
The SmartWasher is warranted against defects for one
year. For more detailed information on the warranty please
refer to your SmartWasher Operations Manual or visit our
web site,
www.chemfree.com and look in the section titled
“Use And Care”.
Is there a warranty for the SmartWasher?
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 105°F - 115°F 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 add OzzyJuice to the SmartWasher?
The SmartWasher comes equipped with an add fluid light
which illuminates when you are low on fluid. When this
light is on simply add (1) 5 gallon container of OzzyJuice to
bring the fluid level up to normal. On average, with normal
use, you will add (1) 5 gallon container of OzzyJuice
approximately every six to eight weeks.
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 5 gallon box of OzzyJuice is added to the
system and the “Add Fluid” indicator light is off.
NO. Adding water will dilute the OzzyJuice, severely
impacting its performance.
Can I simply add water to the SmartWasher to adjust
the fluid level?
The SmartWasher parts washing system has been pains-
takingly developed to work effectively as a whole: Smart-
Washer, 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 I use other fluids in my SmartWasher?
