For a smaller amount of fruits and vegetables, one 5-minute cycle followed by an additional 5 minutes of soaking time is sufficient. For a larger portion in a larger container, we recommend 2 cycles of 5 minutes each, followed by 5 minutes of soaking time. In principle, you can now use the electrolyzed water for a second portion, but AquaPure itself recommends starting over with fresh water. This way, we can be sure there is no contamination from pesticides carried over from the previous portion. After treatment, it’s important to rinse your fruits and vegetables briefly under the faucet.
