Frequently asked questions about cartridge refilling

Why should I refill my cartridges?

The limitation of a cartridge's lifespan is imposed by the developer through the incorporation of a shot counter chip (planned obsolescence).

The ultrasound transducer of the cartridge is made of a piezoelectric crystal/ceramic material that has practically no wear and tear from use, so the actual lifespan of the cartridge is determined by the physical wear of the other components of the cartridge until an actual malfunction occurs.

We know that the actual useful life cycle of the cartridge is much longer than the limit imposed by said counter.

Therefore, if you refill your cartridges, you will obtain an economic benefit of more than 50% compared to buying a new cartridge, in addition to contributing to environmental protection by not generating more unnecessary waste.

Are the shots effective once the cartridge counter has been refilled?

Yes. Refilling the shot counter does not modify the physical state of any component of the cartridge, so if they were effective before refilling, they will continue to be effective after refilling.

Can the same cartridge be refilled many times?

It depends on the type of cartridge and the treatment it received during use, but we can say that we have refilled the same cartridge more than 15 times without loss of efficiency.

When should I stop using my cartridge?

When an actual malfunction occurs due to breaks, impacts, loss of sealing, or in the case of lamps, a decrease in efficiency.

Are all cartridge models refillable?

The answer would be no. To refill some cartridges, we must install a counter chip. Certain cartridges cannot be refilled, but we can replace them with a unique one from 10recargas.com to be able to reuse your cartridges whose shot counter is exhausted.
