The sanitizer is setup with less than 200 ppm quats but the instructions say to setup with 200 ppm. Repair (the manager was able to reset the the sinks with the proper concentration)

Maintain sanitizer at: Chlorine 50-100ppm, Quaternary Ammonium 200-400ppm, Iodine 12.5-25ppm. Test every 2 hours with test strips. Change solution when cloudy/dirty. Train all staff on mixing procedures.
