After mixing up a bucket of Sani water, how long will the sani remain active in killing bacteria?

Using Star San.
 
StarSan remains active as long as its PH is below 3. the kind of water and how its stored will affect how long it stays active. get some PH test strips and check before each use. if it goes above 3 PH just add a little more StarSan till it goes below 3 PH again.
 
Ok, will pick up some strips.

But is it safe to assume that it will keep for 5 hours?
 
oh yes 5 hours is well within its active window. you can store StarSan for several days in a sealed container and still use it. but of course check the PH first.
