Possible Causes
Dosing pump settings too high, Incorrect pump calibration, Chemical leaks at tubing or fittings, Wrong concentration product used
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Wear appropriate PPE when handling chemicals.
- Review pump settings: Access the detergent and rinse aid pump controls and compare settings to your chemical supplier’s recommendations. Reduce dosage if above target.
- Check for leaks: Inspect chemical tubing, connections, and pump heads for leaks that could waste product.
- Calibrate pumps: Perform a timed pump output test (per Hobart/chemical supplier instructions) and adjust calibration to deliver the correct volume.
- Verify product strength: Ensure you are using the correct concentration of detergent and rinse aid; super-concentrates require lower dosing.
- Monitor usage: Track chemical consumption over several days to confirm that adjustments have normalized usage.
