Choosing Solutions For Your CleanTech® Hand Washing System -- Meritech-provided or Meritech-approved solutions are recommended to assure CleanTech® performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

You must use Meritech's solutions with your Meritech equipment, or you MAY NOT BE in compliance with USDA, FDA, or FSIS regulations.

Meritech provides the following solutions specifically formulated for CleanTech® Hand Washing Systems:

CHG 2% Hand Cleanser

(Chlorhexidine Gluconate 2%) Because of the superior cleaning properties of CHG, it is by far the most popular solution used in CleanTech® hand washing systems.

Quat E-2 (Quaternary Ammonium)

Besides CHG, U.S.D.A E-2 rated solutions are the most effective solutions available. These solutions are cleaning and sanitizing solutions, meaning they have detergents to remove biofilm as well as sanitizers to kill microorganisms on hands and gloved hands. CleanTech® hand washing systems with these solutions are commonly used to replace both manual hand washing sinks and dip/gel sanitizing stations. E-2 rated solutions require a potable water rinse after washing, which CleanTech® hand washing systems provide automatically.

E-3 Rated Solutions

These solutions are sanitizers only, and do not have detergents to remove biofilm. These sanitizers are effective in killing surface microorganisms. In CleanTech® hand washing systems, they are used in the endstage sanitize configuration where sanitizer is injected after the wash and rinse cycles. They are also used in applications where only a sanitizing cycle, not a wash and rinse, is desired. Quaternary Ammonium E-3 is available from Meritech for these applications.

Self-Cleaning Solution

(used in models 2000S, 4000S, MBW2, and Protech Hands & Boots only)
Used as either a hard surface or as a footbath cleaner in the model 2000S and 4000S. The 2000S and 4000S have the ability to dispense two different solutions - handwash/sanitize solution, and Self-Clean. Self-Clean is normally dispensed every 24 hours to clean the system and facility drains. The systems can also be programmed to dispense Self-Clean more frequently to automatically keep footbaths clean and at the correct level of cleaner at all times. It is recommended to spray or pour a hard surface disinfectant into all sink drains, floor drains and CleanTech® hand washing models other than the 2000S and 4000S to keep microorganisms from colonizing.
