Whenever your kitty uses the CatGenie, liquid waste drains through the washable granules into a reservoir where liquids get treated with odor-killing SaniSolution. To take care of kitty's solid and liquid waste disposal, you simply press a button or run CatGenie automatically. The GenieHand scoops and separates solid waste from the granules, then deposits the waste into the hopper. Solids get liquefied with water and SaniSolution for safe and easy disposal down the drain. All cat waste gets flushed out of the home for proper sewage treatment. Simultaneously, clean water mixed with SaniSolution washes the basin and washable granules. The CatGenie Smart Cartridge dispenses the precise amount of cat-safe SaniSolution for decontamination of germs and odors. As the basin rotates, the GenieHand agitates and scrubs the granules, dissolving any and all remaining waste. In addition, the GenieHand uses the granules to scour the entire basin, leaving it sparkling clean. During drying, the GenieHand sifts and aerates the granules so hot air from the blower can completely dry the granules and basin. The CatGenie is now sanitized and ready to take care of your cat.
