Cleaning and Sanitizing Solutions
Cleaning Solution
Mix a mild, non-abrasive detergent (e.g. Sodium Laureth
Sulfate, dish soap) with clean, potable water at a temperature
of 32°C to 43°C (90°F to 110°F). The mixture ratio is one
ounce of cleaner to two gallons of water. Prepare a minimum of
five gallons of cleaning solution. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or solvents because they can cause permanent
damage to the unit. Ensure rinsing is thorough, using clean,
potable water at a temperature of 90°F to 110°F. Extended
lengths of product lines may require additional cleaning solution.
Sanitizing Solution
Prepare sanitizing solutions in accordance with the
manufacturer’s written recommendations and safety guidelines.
The solution must provide 100 parts per million (PPM) chlorine
(e.g. Sodium Hypochlorite or bleach). A minimum of five
gallons of sanitizing solution should be prepared. Any sanitizing
solution may be used as long as it is prepared in accordance
with the manufacturer’s written recommendations and safety
guidelines, and provides 100 parts per million (PPM) chlorine.
If a powder sanitizer is used, dissolve it thoroughly with hot water prior to adding to the product system. Ensure
sanitizing solution is removed from the dispenser as instructed.
