Requirements for Detergents and Sanitizers
The Power Soak PS-200 requires a low-foaming detergent
that is safe for human hands. The detergent should have
good grease cutting abilities but not have an excessively
high or low pH level. A metal/aluminum-safe formula is
recommended. Consult a chemical provider for a suitable
deep cleaning chemical.
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.
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 800444-9624.
