Jamie's Take · Senior Operator @ ChickenPieces

"I've seen this 18.9L container last a high-volume restaurant with two warewashers for about a month. The low foam property really makes a difference in preventing residue buildup in the rinse cycle. Our customers running cafeterias in softer water zones specifically ask for A5 because it delivers consistent drying without issues."

Proper rinse aid application is about more than clean dishes. It keeps the flow smooth in a busy kitchen. This 18.9L format gives you enough supply for continuous high-volume use, so you're not reordering constantly or dealing with downtime. For Canadian operators, picking the right rinse aid—especially one built for low foam and specific water conditions—prevents streaking and spotting that hit customer perception and add labour. Think about how this product fits with other essential kitchen equipment in your operation to keep peak efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my dishwasher using so much rinse aid?+
That's usually a calibration problem with the dosing pump or a blocked dispenser line. For SUMA Low Foam Dish Rinse Aid A5, make sure your warewasher's chemical injector is set right for your water hardness. Crank it too high and you waste product and can still get streaks. Also check for leaks in the supply line or dispenser unit.
Can you use rinse aid as dish soap?+
No. SUMA Low Foam Dish Rinse Aid A5 is a drying agent, not a detergent. It has nonionic surfactants that break water surface tension for fast drying and prevent spotting, but it won't cut grease or remove food soils. Use it as soap and you'll get poor cleaning and maybe a film on your dishes. Stick with a dedicated machine dish detergent like SUMA Dish Detergent, Machine Diverforce, for washing.
Can you use dish soap in a foam machine?+
That question is about foam machines for entertainment or car washes, not commercial warewashing or SUMA A5. Using standard dish soap in a commercial warewashing machine is a bad idea. Commercial dish soaps create too much foam, which clogs spray arms, overflows the machine, and can damage the pump. SUMA A5 is a low foam rinse aid because foam control is critical in commercial dishwashing.
Are foam play mats dishwasher safe?+
This has nothing to do with SUMA Low Foam Dish Rinse Aid A5 or commercial warewashing. Foam play mats are usually made of EVA foam and can't handle dishwasher heat or detergents. They'll warp, degrade, or leach chemicals. Hand wash them with mild soap and water instead.
Are styrofoam cups dishwasher safe?+
No. Styrofoam cups aren't dishwasher safe. High heat from a commercial or residential dishwasher melts them, warps them, or releases chemicals that can damage the machine and contaminate other items. SUMA Low Foam Dish Rinse Aid A5 is for durable reusable items like plates, glasses, and cutlery. Dispose of disposable items per your local waste management rules.
What is dish foam used for?+
In commercial warewashing, you avoid foam, not use it. Too much foam from detergents messes with the machine's wash action and leaves dishes poorly cleaned. SUMA Low Foam Dish Rinse Aid A5 is designed to minimize foam during the rinse cycle, promoting efficient water sheeting and streak-free drying. A properly formulated commercial machine dish detergent also controls foam for optimal cleaning.
How to store SUMA Low Foam Dish Rinse Aid A5 for maximum shelf life?+
Store the 18.9L unit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature swings. That keeps the surfactants stable and effective. Keep the container sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation or contamination. Proper storage maintains the product's quality so it delivers consistent spot and streak-free drying.
Is SUMA Low Foam Dish Rinse Aid A5 compatible with standard commercial machines?+
Yes. SUMA Low Foam Dish Rinse Aid A5 is made for a wide range of standard commercial warewashing machines. Its nonionic surfactants work well with typical dosing systems and water conditions in professional kitchens across Canada. It's an economy option for soft-to-medium water, so it's a versatile choice for operations that need rapid, spot-free drying.
What are the exact dimensions and weight specifications for the SUMA Low Foam Dish Rinse Aid A5 18.9L unit?+
The SUMA Low Foam Dish Rinse Aid A5 comes in an 18.9L unit that weighs 19.13 kgs with packaging. Its dimensions are 15.25 x 12.00 x 12.00 inches (38.73 x 30.48 x 30.48 cm). Those numbers help when you're planning storage space in your commercial kitchen or chemical storage area.
Under typical commercial kitchen usage in Canada, how long can one 18.9L unit of SUMA Low Foam Dish Rinse Aid A5 be expected to last?+
It depends on your wash volume, machine calibration, and specific operation. In a high-volume restaurant with two commercial warewashers, one unit lasts about a month. Smaller operations with fewer cycles or a single machine get longer. Monitor your rinse aid consumption and dispenser settings to optimize usage and predict reorder times.
