Does water temperature affect the Wysiwash Sanitizer in any way?
Practically speaking, no. Average hose water has a temperature of 50 to 80 degrees F. At this temperature range, performance of the Wysiwash solution will not be greatly altered. As a general rule, however, as water temperature drops, contact time should be increased (For each 10°C (18°F) drop in temperature below 24°C (75°F), a doubling of exposure time is recommended. Therefore, in extremely cold water, we suggest doubling the contact time to four minutes. Of course, with our no rinse system, this is not really a factor because the product is left until it evaporates.
