Sanitizers – Sanitizers are designed to kill bacteria. If large quantities of sanitizers are being washed into the grease trap they can kill the active bacteria in Maximizer DT Pro. If Maximizer DT Pro doesn’t seem to be working in the grease trap it is most likely due to a sanitizer problem. Check with the owners to find out what type(s) of sanitizers are being used and recommend they switch to something biodegradable.
Dishwashers – There are two types of dishwashers, low and high temperature, High-temperature dishwashers sanitize with heat. They heat water to 180 degrees to kill bacteria on cookware. Low-temperature dishwashers cause the most problems because the chemicals build up in the grease trap (if the dishwasher is connected to the grease trap) and inhibit biological action. If the detergent being used in the dishwasher uses chlorine (sodium hypochlorite) or a quaternary sanitizer (Dimenthylenzyl ammonium chloride) have them switch to something biodegradable or convert the dishwasher to a high-temperature unit.
