TIME magazine has chosen Lotus Sanitizing System as one of the Best Inventions of 2006. If it works as described, it seems to be the only way to wash seafood, meat and produce.

Tersano - the company that invented Lotus – claims the sanitizing system kills 99.99% of E. coli bacteria, turns tap water into a chemical-free sanitizer, kills germs on produce and meats, neutralizes pesticides, improves flavor, and shelf-life of food.

The Lotus Sanitizing System infuses water with super-oxygen. It uses a special cartridge (Booster Cartridge) to remove any moisture from the air to concentrate the infused super-oxygen.

According to Tersano, super-oxygenated water is proven to naturally sanitize, deodorize as well as remove stains, mold and mildew - which means you can use this water to remove stains from virtually any surface.

You can eliminate germs from a kitchen counter, cutting board, kid’s toys - or virtually any other object you want to be germ-free. A microprocessor monitors and guarantees that the infusion occurs during every cycle.
