The amount of solution required will vary with differ-
ent disinfectant manufacturers. Refer to the

).
•
Disinfectant Solution: Chlorine Dioxide (
Bose
Product).
•
Mixture with water: 2% (non-activated).
•
Number of Atomizer units per machine: 2.
•
Set controller program: 15 seconds of spray every
1 hour (for one Atomizer per machine, set at 30
seconds of spray per hour).
GUIDELINES
The least amount of disinfectant solution sprayed into
the machines the less effect the solution will have on
humidity levels. Shorter blasts of solution is recom-
mended.
If 2 US fluid ounces (59 CCs) of solution is to be used
every hour, a full 60 US gallon (227 L) dilution tank
will last 160 days before refilling. Chlorine Dioxide
has a shelf life of approximately 6 months.
The Atomizer units are capable of dispersing a maxi-
mum of 8 US fluid ounces (237 CCs) of solution every
3 minutes.
