Abstract: This disclosure recites a device that includes a body and a coupling near a first end of the body configured to attach to a water source. The device also includes interior tubing inside the body that includes a base portion that receives water into the device via the coupling, a fork that separates the base into a first path and a second path, and an end portion that combines the first and second paths. The device further includes a compartment along the second path that holds a solid, water-soluble substance. The device also includes a first dial that controls an amount of the water that enters the first and second paths. The device further includes a second dial that controls a rate that the water passes through the compartment. The device also includes a nozzle near a second end of the body.

Abstract: A method of sanitizing a surface is described that includes: (a) providing a pH control composition that includes at least one pH control agent (such as sodium bisulfate); (b) contacting a first feed aqueous stream with the pH control composition, thereby forming a first treated aqueous stream; (c) combining at least a portion of the first treated aqueous stream with a feed sanitizing aqueous stream that includes free available halogen, thereby forming a treated sanitizing aqueous stream that includes free available halogen (such as free available chlorine). The surface sanitizing method further includes, (d) elevating the temperature of the treated sanitizing aqueous stream, thereby forming a heated treated sanitizing aqueous stream having an elevated temperature that includes free available halogen. The heated treated sanitizing aqueous stream is applied to a surface to be sanitized (such as a poultry carcass surface).
