FOOD SERVICE WATER TREATMENTFOOD SERVICE WATER TREATMENT
Water quality plays an important role in the food service industry. Not only does water quality determine the taste and quality of all
beverages served, it also determines theoperatingefficiency and longevity of water fedfoodserviceequipment.
As important as premium water is to a food service establishment's customers, so is the reduction in water related maintenance
problems to the food service operator. Ice machines, steamers & combi-ovens, coffee, tea, & espresso machines, hot water
dispensers, bread proofers, etc., are all susceptible to water related problems caused by sediment, hard water (lime scale deposits),
corrosion and chlorine.
STEAMERS & COMBI-OVENS - Most equipment malfunctions associated with steamers &
STEAMERS & COMBI-OVENS -
combi-ovens are water related. Poor water quality promotes the formation of scale deposits and increases the potential of
corrosion occurring. Effective water filtrationdelivers the following benefits:
*Scale-free level sensingprobes function properly.
*Corrosion protection fromscale deposits & chlorineprolonging equipment life.
*Reduced energy consumption & faster cook cycles savestime and money.
ICE MAKING EQUIPMENT - The most frequent water related problems associated with ice
ICE MAKING EQUIPMENT -
machines are lime scale deposits, evaporator pitting, bin corrosion, and suspended solids plugging distribution tubes and float
valves. Ice is 100% water and as much as 70% of service calls on ice machines are water related. Water filtration solves the
following:
*Chlorine, responsible forevaporator and auger pittingand bin corrosion, isremoved.
*Mineral scale buildup responsible for cloggedsumps and increased maintenanceis reduced.
*Suspended solids thatplug distribution tubes andfloat valves are removed.
*Energy efficiency and machine life areincreased.
COFFEE, TEA& ESPRESSO EQUIPMENT - Ninety-eight percent(98%) of a cup of
COFFEE, TEA& ESPRESSO EQUIPMENT -
coffee is composed of water, so the quality of your coffee is most dependent on the quality of the water. Chlorine ruins the taste of
coffee. Moreover, scale build-up on heating elements does not allow high enough water temperature for brewing which is also
important for brewing a high quality coffee. Untreated water forms lime scale in the brewing equipment necessitating expensive
descaling, and/or shorteningthe life of theunit. Providing high quality water produces the following benefits:
*Brewing equipment maintenanceis reduced.
*Taste and aroma isenhanced.
*Mineral scale buildup is inhibited.
*Equipment life isprolonged.

Consult your localdistributor for estimated capacities.
***If inlet feed water temperature is above 100° F, a hot water
housing must be used (PF-10-EHT). Only a ScaleStick™
without a Sediment Filter wrap or Carbon Block Wrap can be
used. Do not use filter wraps in hot water feed applications.
