Chemical composition of detergent and rinse aid

Open ameesme opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hello,

I ordered a casette rewinder last week, but was wondering about the impact of the chemical composition of the detergent and rinse acid. I found and purchased Sun Professional Rinse Aid and Finish Professional Liquid Detergent, which both seem to match (approximately) in dilution requirements.

That said, their chemical composition is different and I want to avoid damaging the dishwasher.

Finish Professional Liquid Detergent

  • Phosphates 5% - 15%
  • Chlorine-Based Bleaching Agents < 5%
  • Polycarboxylates < 5%

Sun Professional Rinse Aid

TBD

What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks!

The commercial detergent that I use do refill has different chemical composition too, and it seems to work fine. This is the datasheet of mine: https://www.industrial-warewashers.com/media/productattach/e/p/ep058.pdf

I would suggest read the description of the detergent, if it says it's suitable for dishwashers then it should be fine.

So a quick update on this. After about half a year of testing with these two brands, they appear to work just fine. The result it not always 100% spotless, but most of the time it is.

These two jerrycans should last us the better part of 10 years😊
