Pests & FacilitiesQuestion 131 of 240
How should the concentration of a chlorine sanitizer solution be verified?
a.With chlorine test strips
b.By smell alone
c.By tasting a drop
d.By the color of the water
Explanation
Sanitizer concentration must be checked with the correct test strips (chlorine test strips for a chlorine solution) to confirm it is within 50-100 ppm. Smell, color, or taste cannot measure ppm and are unsafe methods. Solutions should be tested regularly because they weaken with use and time.
