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 90°F to 110°F (32°C to 43°C). 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 50 to 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 50 to 100 parts per million (PPM) chlorine.
