Sage Sagewash Sanitizer User manual

Dear SAGEWASH™ SANITIZER Owner:
Congratulations! You have just purchased a very durable, economical and environmentally sound cleaning system.
SAGEWASH™ SANITIZER U.S. Patent, #5,441,073 is not just a hose-end sprayer. Your SAGEWASH™ SANITIZER
system is a precisely-calibrated sanitizer.
The HTH chlorine tablet is a highly compressed calcium hypochlorite product. The hydro-injection system uniformly
erodes the tablet into a mixing chamber. The concentrate is then mixed with the stream of water leaving your hose.
Using SAGEWASH™ SANITIZER (a calcium hypochlorite solution), rather than sodium hypochlorite (liquid bleach), is
the most effective and economical way to sanitize and disinfect.

SANITIZER

SANITIZING WITH YOUR SAGEWASH™ SANITIZER
REMEMBER TO PICK UP SOLID BIO-MATTER AND RINSE WITH
FRESH WATER BEFORE BEGINNING CLEAN UP!
1. Make sure work area is well ventilated.
2. Begin to disinfect target area. It is not necessary to OVERUSE
the solution.
3. After cleaning is done, turn off water spigot. Disconnect
SAGEWASH™ SANITIZER from hose, allowing it to drain over a
gutter/drain area, or mix with a gallon of water to make a disinfecting
solution. Once disconnected from hose, the discharging solution is
highly concentrated. Avoid contact with skin or clothes.
4. Wash down area where SAGEWASH™ SANITIZER was drained.
Failing to do this may leave calcium deposits on the floor. Set the
SAGEWASH™ SANITIZER, properly drained, in a cool, dry storage
area out of the reach of children.
WATER SUPPLY
Water flowing through the SAGEWASH™ SANITIZER will be chlorinated by the HTH chlorine tablet. The exact
amount of chlorine dispensed is influenced by the rate of flow, water pressure and the temperature of the water. It is
strongly recommended that the water pressure inside the SAGEWASH™ SANITIZER unit not exceed 70 psi. Higher
pressures may damage the unit. This includes water pressure surges (water hammer) that exceed 70 psi.
MAINTENANCE PERIODIC CLEANING
Under normal circumstances no maintenance is necessary beyond the replacement of HTH tablets. If dirty or
excessively mineralized water is used it may be necessary to periodically clean the inside of the sanitizer. Clean the
inside of the SAGEWASH™ SANITIZER unit with white vinegar once monthly. Chlorine naturally precipitates
contaminants in the water. Hydro seal and hose washers may need to be replaced periodically. See parts list to
replace.
STORAGE
Store tablets in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from heat or flame. DO NOT handle wet or partially used
tablets. Rotate tablet stock to insure maximum potency. Only store in original tablet packaging.
