The quat sanitizer solution in the 3 compartment sink was only 58F. NC Food Code requires that quat sanitizer be 75F or greater. The sanitizer dispenser is plumbed into a cold water line and only dispenses cold water; in cooler weather months, the solution will not be dispensed at required temperatures. It is recommended to have a mixing valve installed so that the water is properly tempered. The concentration of the solution being dispensed from the unit during inspection was just over 300 ppm; until a mixing valve can be installed, the solution can be diluted using hot water to bring the temperature up to meet requirements. Solution was brought up to just over 75F during inspection. Always check the concentration of the solution after diluting to insure that it is meeting minimum temperature requirements.
At the 3 compartment sink, the sanitizer concentration was sufficient but the solution was only 71F. According to NC Food Code, the minimum temperature for quat sanitizer is 75F. Unless documentation can be provided to verify that the solution is effective below 75F, the solution needs to be maintained at the required minimum temperature. Recommend installing a valve at the faucet so that the water temperature can be adjusted manually or installing a mixing valve at the water connection.
