How should the concentration of disinfectant be managed in pedicure tubs?

Managing the concentration of disinfectant in pedicure tubs is crucial to ensuring proper sanitation and preventing the spread of infections. Running disinfectant through the jet system is the correct method as it allows for thorough exposure of all surfaces, including hard-to-reach areas within the plumbing and jets. This practice ensures that the disinfectant can circulate and effectively kill any pathogens present, thus maintaining a safe environment for clients.

Using the disinfectant only once means it does not reach the full surface area effectively, potentially leaving behind harmful bacteria. Rinsing it out immediately would not provide the necessary contact time required for disinfection, rendering the procedure ineffective. Mixing disinfectant with soap might dilute its effectiveness as disinfectants have specific concentrations necessary to kill microbes properly. Therefore, allowing the disinfectant to run through the jet system is the best approach for effective sanitation.
