Abstract
A low wash and rinse temperature (120.degree.-140.degree. F.) warewasher accomplishes the same general washing and rinsing effectiveness as a conventional high temperature (150.degree. F. minimum wash, 180.degree. F. minimum rinse) warewasher without loss of productivity resulting from time lost between completion of washing and commencement of rinsing a given load of ware, through use of independent, dedicated wash and rinse systems, the latter of which includes a holding tank which enables independent batching of a predetermined volume of rinse solution from properly-proportioned fresh water and sanitizing agent while washing a given load of ware. The sanitizing agent is introduced independently into the holding tank and independently of the fresh water line, and is therefore unaffected by a great range of water line pressures and the mineral conditions of the water.
