Bodega Tapas Bar by Sabor

Facility's quat dispenser is connected to hot water only. When dispensing, due to the steam, the solution is only briefly achieving the required concentration of 200 ppm, before it is evaporating. Sanitizer should be diluted with room temperature or cool water for this reason. When mixed by hand, operator was able to achieve a reliable 200 ppm concentration. All sanitizer buckets were remade by hand. Dispenser must be reconnected to either both hot/warm water lines or just the cold water line.
