Dilution Control
The three predominant methods of using chemicals are ready-to-use, bulk concentrates and dilution control. Each method has its place in the cleaning operation, and each has its specific benefits.
Ready-to-Use (RTU) | RTU is convenient and is particularly good for chemicals that are difficult to concentrate effectively. These include floor finishes, high-acid cleaners and metal polishes. When other products such as glass cleaners, all-purpose cleaners and degreasers are in RTU packaging, they are very costly versus concentrates.
Bulk Concentrates | Products such as degreasers, floor strippers, glass cleaners, etc. are often sold in concentrate form. These are packaged in various sizes (pre-portioned packages, cartridges, gallons, drums, etc.). Instructions are provided for dilution (one ounce per gallon, one packet per mop bucket, etc.), and it is up to the user to correctly measure both the chemical and the water. This is commonly known as the “glug-glug” method.
Dilution Control | Concentrated cleaning chemicals are effectively diluted according to manufacturer specs or customer needs by a device that automatically measures out the concentrate and the water at certain proportions. These devices can range from wall- mounted units to hand-held miniature dilution systems.
Why choose Dilution Control? When possible, dilution control of chemicals is the most beneficial method you can use. Dilution control provides you with the most cost-effective use of chemicals; reduced “re-cleaning” because the cleaning job is done with the right dilution the first time; and reduction of hazards because the system, not the people, handles the concentrated chemicals. The WAXIE ® Solution Station ® Dilution Control System provides you with the most flexible , accurate , safe and cost-effective use of chemicals. With multiple dispensing options and chemicals available, WAXIE Solution Station systems can be designed to meet all of your cleaning chemical needs!
