STEP ONE
Place the black silicone-graphite electrodes into the white trays. Place the blue pH-balancing foam on top.

Fill both water bath trays with tap water (approx. 2-5 cups) so that the foam mats are damp.
A good sign that you’ve added the right amount of water: The palms of your hands and/or soles of your feet are completely wet and the outsides of your fingers and/or toes are partially covered. Unless you suffer from sweating on the tops of your hands and/or feet, refrain from submerging your entire hand/foot in water.
