Requirements for Detergents and Sanitizers

Detergents

Remember, improper detergents may damage equipment! Use of the correct
detergent in your Power Soak system is critical to its washing performance. If you
are having problems with cleaning results, please contact the factory.

Your new system requires a low-foaming,
metal/aluminum-safe detergent that is safe for the
hands. The detergent should have good grease cutting
abilities but not have an excessively high or low pH
level.

Sanitizers

The method of sanitizing used in your Power Soak system is a "chemical
sanitizing" method. There are a number of products on the market that work well.
Your chemical sales representative should assist you in selecting the proper
sanitizer for your application.

Check with your cleaning chemical provider to determine detergent
concentration, sanitizer "parts per million" (ppm) and sanitizer submersion times
to meet local health codes.

Factory Assistance

If your chemical sales representative is having difficulty selecting a detergent or
sanitizer, or if you are getting poor results with the chemicals your representative
has recommended, please contact the factory at 800-444-9624.
