complete. This allows the operator to begin filling the tank, and return to
other duties. When the tank is within a few minutes of completing its fill,
the red and green beacons will flash in an alternating pattern.

When the top liquid level sensor detects that the tank is full, the pattern will
speed up to communicate urgency to turn off the water supply.

Manually Adding Detergents & Sanitizers

After the tanks have been filled with water, add the proper amount of
detergent and sanitizer. The detergent goes into the wash tank (the tank
with the water jets) and the sanitizer goes into the sanitizer tank (the tank
furthest from the wash tank).

It is important to add the proper amount of chemicals to each tank. The
amount to be used should be provided by the chemical supplier. Do not
add the detergent or sanitizer to the tank prior to or during filling.

Most detergents and sanitizers lose effectiveness as time goes on. Some
local health departments have requirements limiting the amount of time
water can be used for cleaning before the water must be changed. Most
chemical companies recommend changing wash water after a certain time
frame. Those times vary, but are generally around two to four hours.
Check with the chemical provider for recommended time for effective use.

Sanitizing solutions also have a limited safe use period. Check with the
chemical provider on how often to check and or replace the sanitizing fluid.

Acceptable Normal Wash Chemicals:

• Chemicals must be safe for contact with human skin.
• The detergent must be low foaming, not excessively caustic and

metal/aluminum-safe are recommended.

• Cleaning solutions need to be selected for the type materials to be

cleaned.

• Most standard sanitizers can be used with the PS-275, however;

consult with a chemical provider to be sure the chemical that is
selected is a good choice.

Deep Cleaning Chemicals:

• Solid or liquid
• Matched to PPE of your company’s specifications.
• Consult with a chemical representative for proper PPE instructions.
