When in the optional ec−H2O (electrically

converted water) mode, normal water passes
through a module where it is oxygenated and
charged with an electric current. The electrically
converted water changes into a blended acidic

The converted water attacks the dirt, breaks it into
smaller particles, and pulls it off the floor surface
allowing the machine to easily scrub away the
suspended soil. The converted water then returns
to normal water in the recovery tank. The ec−H2O
