Chlorine test strips were available and easily accessible. The dishwasher was a newer model and no-one at the store new how to prime it. The chlorine bottle was half-full which led to the assumption that there was an air bubble in the chlorine line and the machine needed to be primed to rid the air bubble. PIC advised staff not to use the dishwasher until it is fixed and maintains a chlorine concentration of 50-100ppm after final rinse. PIC set-up the 3 compartment sink where dishes ca be washed, rinsed and sanitized. The quat dispenser at the 3 compartment sink was dispensing proper quat concentration of 200-400ppm at time of inspection and the establishment had quat test strips.
