Without a chemical sanitizer, you can still effectively sanitize by using hot water above 171°F (77°C) to rinse surfaces or by utilizing a bleach solution with a concentration of at least 100ppm (1 tablespoon of bleach per gallon of water). Make sure to thoroughly rinse surfaces after using these sanitizing methods.
Yes, your boss is correct. Mixing bleach with hot water can cause it to break down faster and lose its disinfecting properties. It's best to use cold or room temperature water when diluting bleach for cleaning and sanitizing.
It is important to regularly test and balance the pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels in a hot tub to ensure it remains safe and effective. Using chemicals like chlorine, bromine, or non-chlorine shock can help maintain a clean and clear water environment. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines and recommendations for proper dosing and application of these chemicals.
A hot water bottle typically stays hot for 2 to 6 hours, depending on factors such as the insulation of the cover, the quality of the bottle, and the amount of hot water added.
When hot water is mixed with cold water, the overall temperature of the mixture will be between the initial temperatures of the hot and cold water. The hot water will transfer heat to the cold water, resulting in a gradual temperature equilibrium.
If hot water is allowed as a sanitizer it must be a minimum of 171 degrees.
For water to be used it must be boiled to 100 degrees Celsius and boiled for more than a minute.
Sanitizer water for cleaning surfaces should be at room temperature. Hot water can evaporate quickly, reducing its effectiveness, while cold water may not activate the cleaning agents. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for dilution and temperature recommendations.
Hot water increases the release of histamines, and makes you itchy...or itchier. If you are itchy after you get out of the hot tub, the water chemistry may not be in order. Proper sanitizer levels and pH levels between 7.2-7.6 are required.
To effectively sanitize your home brew equipment using home brew sanitizer, first clean the equipment thoroughly with hot water and a mild detergent. Then, prepare a solution of the sanitizer according to the manufacturer's instructions. Submerge or spray the equipment with the sanitizer solution, making sure to cover all surfaces. Allow the sanitizer to sit for the recommended contact time before rinsing with clean water. This will help kill any harmful bacteria and ensure your equipment is ready for brewing.
Well, yes, but the water must be very hot. Not just like the water temperature that we shower in.
212 F

It must be cooled to 0 oC.

No, swimming is not allowed in Mammoth Hot Springs due to the high temperatures and potential for injury from the hot water and geothermal features.
Because the water in the pipes is at room temperature. You must push all that cool water out with the hot water before the hot water reaches your faucet.
