Frequently Asked Questions

Does SONOLAV vibrations have a negative effect on Human Being?

No harmful effect has ever been reported so far about High frequency sound vibrations/ultrasound waves at this power and frequency level . As a matter of fact Ultrasound is used in Medicin as medical baby imaging and other imaging techniques. However, in any case we do not reccomend immersing your hands fingers etc while the power is on .While washing objects ultrasound will create a tingling sensation on the skin. In addition, it may reduce the washing effect on the material due to taking some of the washing power on yourself.

Can I wash dishes with SONOLAV?

Yes, if you wash the cutlery and plate containers with normal detergent and then wash them in SONOLAV, you will get rid of the shiny-looking detergent plaque on them.

Can delicate textiles be washed with SONOLAV?

Yes, Ultrasound waves penetrate between textile yarns and do micron-level washing, because they do not cause damage due to rubbing effect of the washing machine, Bumping, hitting and rubbing effects with , high temperature, high detergent use, fading decaying in colors , etc. such effects do not occur in SONOLAV.

Can I use detergent together with SONOLAV?

You can use environmentally friendly detergent for difficult dirts. The washing effect will increase,

Is rinsing necessary?

It is always good tor inse with SONOLAV . But alternatively running tap water can be used.

You're saying that SONOLAV eliminates pathogens, is that true? If it is true, What is the mechanism that enables this happen?Is there any Document, Report?

Bacteria are living organisms that have cell structures. SONOLAV breaks down bacterial cell membranes with high frequency sound vibrations. The attached laboratory and TUBITAK technical report support this, and it is possible to see this in many scientific articles. Viruses are inanimate agents, but their structure(RNA-DNA) is usually covered with fatty tissue in the form that it will attach to a living being and infiltrate into the cell. SONOLAV breaks down this adipose tissue, thereby neutralizing the agent.

Is there no risk of surface oils sticking to the washed material when moving out of the container?

Oil deposits may remain on the water therefore in order to prevent oil sticking back to the part you want to wash ,you can add some tap water and flodd cascade of the pan surface water before removing the material inside the container. You can also discharge dirty water and refill with clean tap rinse water and rerun the SONOLAV for a few more minutes in order to be sure all the surface remains are removed.

What types of containers can we use SONOLAV in? Is plastic suitable?

High frequency sound vibration waves are reflected by hitting hard surfaces such as glass-stainless steel- ceramic ,thus this increases the washing effect. In plastics, on the other hand, these waves are damped off and become ineffective. In this case, you definitely can't use plastic, because there will be almost no washing effect. Stainless steel -glass- ceramic containers are suitable for use.

Should SONOLAV be completely buried in water? Or can some of it stay out of the water?

The SONOLAV must be completely immersed in the liquid. If it stays outside, it may overheat and deteriorate due to improper use, the warranty does not apply.

How do I place SONOLAV in a container?

Place the stainless steel vibration head upright in the container.(Sink-Pan-Bow etc)

Does SONOLAV remove pesticides (agricultural chemicals) on vegetables and fruits?

It is one of the areas where SONOLAV is the strongest. Powerfull sound vibrations remove the chemicals stuck to the fruit/vegetable by using Vacuum/ Cavitation principle created by sound waves. There are many articles about the removal of pesticides by Ultrasound effect.
