Q. How should I clean my Hydra Grease-Eater Dosing Unit?
The pump is designed to be easy to clean. Do not use harsh cleaning chemicals or abrasives. Simply wipe the unit over with a clean disposable cloth and fresh water.
 
Q. Is the Hydra Grease-Eater fluid safe for my kitchen?
Yes. Hydra Grease-Eater contains a blend of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria which have been specially selected to break down the organic material that is found in commercial kitchen waste. Armed with a powerful battery of grease-degrading enzymes, they are all classified by the Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens (ACDP) as category 1, i.e. they are of extremely low or no hazard.
 
Q. Are there any special storage or handling requirements for the fluid?
Hydra Grease-Eater Liquid is a perfectly safe class 1 fluid, and there are no special handling requirements. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
 
Q. Does it have a shelf life?
The fluid's shelf life is a minimum of 18 months, as long as it is stored as above.
 
Q. At what temperature should the Hydra Grease-Eater Liquid be stored?
Hydra Grease-Eater fluid should ideally be kept at temperatures between 5°C and 35°C.  The microbial make up of the fluid will survive temperatures up to 50°C, but anything above 35°C can compromise the effective performance of the product.
 
Q. How long does the battery last?
The battery should last around 18 months. The low battery warning light will begin to flash around 1 month before completely running out. It only flashes during daylight hours when someone is around to see it, in order to preserve power.
 
Q. Where can I install the Hydra Grease-Eater System in my kitchen?
Because the system is battery powered, and does not require water or a mains electrical connection, it can be sited almost anywhere in the kitchen.
 
Q. Can I use Hydra Grease-Eater instead of a grease trap?
Hydra Grease-Eater can be used either as a standalone grease management system, or in conjunction with a grease trap. Always check with your local authority before installation. Where Hydra Grease-Eater is used to dose into a grease trap, the trap will require emptying far less often.
 
Q. Can I change the fluid delivery settings on my Hydra Grease-Eater Dosing System?
Yes. Refer to the installation sheet in the Dosing System section of this web site. However, changing the dosing level will affect how often refill fluid will need to be ordered.
