Requirements for Detergents and Sanitizers
Detergents
The PS-275 can use two types of detergents, one type for normal cleaning
and one type for “Deep Cleaning” for more effective deep cleaning. The
materials to be cleaned and the type of debris to be removed will be a
factor in selecting the proper detergent. Provide this information to a
chemical supplier when selecting the type of detergent. Use of the correct
detergent in the Power Soak machine is critical to its washing performance.
Improper detergents could damage the equipment. If there are problems
with cleaning results, please contact the Power Soak service department
888-994-7636.
Sanitizers
The method of sanitizing used in the Power Soak PS-275 is a "chemical
sanitizing" method. There are a number of products on the market that
work well in this application. A chemical sales representative should assist
in selecting the proper sanitizer. Ask the cleaning chemical provider to
determine detergent concentration, sanitizer "parts per million" (ppm) and
sanitizer submersion times to meet local health codes.
Power Soak Service Assistance
If a chemical sales representative is having difficulty selecting a detergent
or sanitizer, or if there are poor results with the chemicals that a
representative has recommended, please contact the Power Soak factory
at 888-994-7636.
The Power Soak PS-275 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.
