Manual and Mechanical Warewashing Equipment, Chemical Sanitization- Temperature, pH, Concentration and Hardness (corrected on site)

Inspector notes: Observed in use low temperature chlorine dish machine with final rinse chlorine concentration of 0 PPM. After draining, priming, and running the dish machine additional times the chlorine concentration measured at 0 PPM each time. Service call made a time of inspection. Observed repair technician onsite conducting repairs prior to the end of the inspection. Acceptable chlorine concentration shall measure between 50-100 PPM. Establishment will utilize the three compartment sink to sanitize food contact surfaces until the dish machine is repaired and maintains a concentration of 50-100 PPM on final rinse food contact surfaces

4-501.114(A-E)

Cross connection present or not corrected (corrected on site)

Inspector notes: At the mop sink, observed faucet equipped with an AVB and a Y-valve attached supplying water to a chemical dispenser. Installing a Y-valve, similar downstream shut-off device, or obstruction places back pressure on the AVB. Both sides of a Y-valve connected to a sink for a chemical dispenser are pressurized; one side supplying water to the chemical feeder and the other side to the shut-off valve on the Y-valve, or to a hose attached. Since, AVB’s could be kept on under constant pressure at all times, they will fail under such installations. When the faucet is used with a hose on the open side of a Y-valve, there is now a potential cross-connection hazard. Chemical dispensers must be connected to a dedicated water supply. Provided chemical dispenser handout electronically. PIC removed shut-off downstream from atmospheric vacuum breaker at time of inspection
