  • (C) Concentration between 12.5 mg/l and 25 mg/l.

• (iii) A quaternary ammonium compound solution shall:
  • (A) Have a minimum temperature of 75^oF (24^oC);
  • (B) Have a concentration as specified under Chapter 9, Section 29, and as indicated by the manufacturer's use directions included in the labeling; and
  • (C) Be used only in water with 500 mg/l hardness or less or in water having a hardness no greater than specified by the EPA-registered label use instructions.

• (iv) If another solution of a chemical specified under Chapter 7, Section 18(a) (i)- (iii) is used, the license holder shall demonstrate to the regulatory authority that the solution achieves sanitization and the use of the solution shall be approved; or
