Chemical Specifications

Water Conditioning

■ If the water you will use in the glasswasher is
too hard, the glasswasher will not clean and
sanitize glasses properly. Water contains
dissolved calcium/lime which makes water
"hard." Water can be conditioned mechanically
by using a water softener or chemically by
using a detergent and rinse aid which contains
water conditioners. If the water you will use in
the glasswasher is not properly conditioned,
the glasswasher will:

■ Require frequent deliming.

■ Cost more to operate (higher chemical usage).

■ Shorten machine life.

Water Hardness Type of Water
GPG (Grains Per Gallon) Treatment required

0 - 5 GPG Chemicals containing
Low water conditioners

6 - 10 GPG Chemicals containing
Medium water
conditioners

11 - 15 GPG Chemicals containing
High water conditioners

15 GPG Plus Water softener required
and chemicals
containing Low water

Chemical Specifications

DETERGENT:

Heavy-duty, liquid warewashing detergent with
water conditioners.
SANITIZER (CHLORINE):
EPA registered, non-foaming liquid chlorine.
RINSE ADDITIVE:
Low-foaming, warewashing rinse additive.

Chemical Concentrations

DETERGENT

Start the glasswasher and wait for 30 seconds
into the wash cycle. Then stop the machine; take
a sample and test for active alkalinity. It should be
250 ppm. +10%.

SANITIZER

Run the glasswasher through a complete cycle.
Take a sample and test it for chlorine concentra
tion. It should be 50 ppm. minimum.

RINSE ADDITIVE

There is no minimum concentration. Visually check
the glassware for satisfactory wetting.

-

Water with more than 15 GPG will require a water
softener. It cannot be conditioned economically
with chemicals. Failure of parts caused by hard
water are not covered under the warranty.
