Today I rinsed out, removed capsules and separated 25 cases of bottles. As I was rinsing the first case out I was thinking I wished there was a way to add cleaner at the same time. Thats when I remembered a thing I bought five years ago for adding fertilizer to your garden hose when watering. It was still brand new in the box. I replaced the rubber hose with a vinyl one. Added oxy-clean to a bucket and hooked it up to my double bottle washer.

Results: The oxy clean solution went down very little in the bucket. I didn't mark it when starting so I have no way of knowing for sure how much I used. Next time I try this I'll use an extremely strong solution in a one gallon jug. After all it is meant to concentrates. :a1

Thats pretty slick...I have one of those...Great idea.. I will have to get another one as I have run fertilizer through mine.. Could you run a concentration of k-meta from a 1 gallon jug through it, then check the level of sulfite in the water coming out to see if it is stromg enough to sanitize? The wheels are turning.....
 
Thats why we call him son because he's so bright.

I just immerse into water, brush and rinse. But it has possibilities! Great!
