bottles can be removed for cleaning. Disconnect the silicone tubing from
the filter assembly, unscrew the top portion of the assembly, and all parts
can be cleaned using alcohol.

The base of the plate holder has a drain with a liquid collection tube.
Distilled water can be added into the plate holder after use, and the liquid

drain hole, or the drain could be blocked.
