First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for treating a drain for a device having a water flow system, the method comprising:
- selectively transporting first aqueous composition comprising at least one acidic compound by the capillary action of a first wick disposed in a first conduit, from a first chamber to a reservoir which is in fluid communication with said drain, the reservoir having a vent and an outlet port, said outlet port in fluid communication with the drain;
selectively transporting second aqueous composition comprising at least one metal chlorite by capillary action of a second wick disposed in a second conduit, from a second chamber to the reservoir wherein said acidic compound is in molar excess to said metal chlorite, and the first and second compositions form a sanitizing composition in the reservoir; and
transporting the sanitizing composition from the reservoir to the drain.
