A Titrating Kit is required for proper chemical adjustment. If the Kit is not available from your chemical supplier, one
can be purchased from Glastender, Inc. Follow these instructions:
1. Fill test tube with five (5) ml of detergent solution from the Holding Tank during the wash cycle.
2. Add two (2) drops of "Indicator" to solution. The solution will turn a pink color (magenta).
3. Add five (5) drops of "Titrate" and mix the solution by closing the test tube with finger and shaking gently.
4. Detergent concentration is determined by amount of "Titrate" required to make the solution turn clear.
Add one (1) drop at a time, shaking gently between each additional drop. The solution should turn clear
between ten (10) and twelve (12) drops. More than twelve (12) drops means the detergent concentration
is too high. Proper detergent concentration is .30%.
