FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is BIOREMEDIATION?
Bioremediation is the use of biological agents such as
microbes or plants to break down or neutralize "hazardous
substances"
or
"contaminants"
dangerous chemicals in the environment. The process of
bioremediation is listed as one of the Environmental
Protection Agency's (EPA) innovative technologies.
How is "Bioremediating" different from
"Biodegradable"?
BIOREMEDIATION is the use of natural biological agents
such as microbes to break down or neutralize "hazardous
substances" or "contaminants". FOR EXAMPLE: In the
SmartWasher Ozzy(s), natural biological agents or
microbes, break down the carbon-based contaminants
(grease and oil) and turn them into harmless carbon dioxide
and water. BIODEGRADABLE means that a substance or
mixture is subject to or could be broken down by biological
agents into smaller compounds.
Who and what is Ozzy
Ozzy is the name we selected for the blend of
nonpathogenic (harmless to humans) microbes in the
SmartWasher system. Our microbes, Ozzy and his friends,
eat potentially harmful hydrocarbon wastes in the
SmartWasher and transform these wastes into very small
quantities of carbon dioxide and water. Similar types of
microbes have been used for many years in various
bioremediation applications, such as oil spills, including the
clean up after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in March of 1989.
What happens to the grease, oil and other
contaminants in the SmartWasher?
Grease, oil and other contaminants are bioremediated in
the
SmartWasher
-
non-hazardous by-products such as carbon dioxide and
water. Particulate matter, such as sand, grit, dirt and paint
chips are trapped in the OzzyMat to be disposed of
properly.
Can I simply add water to the SmartWasher
to adjust the fluid level?
NO.
Adding water will dilute the OzzyJuice, severely
impacting its performance.
How much oil can I put into the SmartWasher
at a time?
As with all parts cleaners, excessive greases, oils and fluids
should be disposed of prior to washing parts.
SmartWasher can handle large, tough, dirty jobs, but was
not designed to be - nor should be treated as - a waste oil
dump.

How do I dispose of the OzzyMat?
The OzzyMat must be disposed of in accordance with your
Federal, State and local regulations. In many areas the
OzzyMat can be disposed of in a non-leaching, sealed
manner, and disposed of as solid waste in accordance with
the Federal, State and local regulations. More OzzyMat
disposal information is located in the Science section of the
ChemFree website, www.chemfree.com.
How often do I change the fluid (OzzyJuice)?
If you are changing your OzzyMat a minimum of once a
month, under normal use and with proper maintenance,
you should never have to change or haul away used
OzzyJuice. This is one of the biggest advantages of the
SmartWasher
system.
contaminants from the fluid through the process of
bioremediation. This leaves you with clean OzzyJuice to
work with day after day.
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 108°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 SmartWashers
consistently show oil and grease levels in the 1,400 parts
per
million
range.
BY
non-bioremediating, aqueous cleaners can average over
20,000 parts per million of oil and grease.
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 add OzzyJuice to the
SmartWasher?
The SmartWasher comes equipped with a low fluid
indicator light which illuminates when you are low on fluid.
When this light is on you simply add (1) 5 gallon box 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.
