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 such as bleach
or other solvents because they can cause permanent damage to the unit. Ensure rinsing is thorough, using

additional cleaning solution.

bleach) and a minimum of five gallons of sanitizing solution should be prepared.
