Post Mix (soda) Water Filtration
Do your customers complain "the soda tastes
watery" A chlorine level or 1 PPM in your water supply is
not uncommon, but it will give your soda a watered down
taste. To compensate you add more syrup. The extra syrup
costs you more. Adding more syrup does not help. Instead
you end up with soda that is "too sweet". The solution to
this problem is the removal of chlorine from the water.
This will enable you to achieve the Brix standard (proper
ratio of syrup to water) as set by the syrup manufacturer.
Because the quality of your water will be consistent, the
taste of your soda will be consistent.
Water Filtration for Ice
Do you have a lot of problems with your ice
machine? Sediment and hardness minerals in the water block
the water flow to your ice machine causing reduced ice production.
Mineral deposits (scale) from the water actually form a
thermal barrier that coats the ice machine’s evaporator
plate. This means your ice machine needs to work a lot harder
to make ice and use much more electricity. Have you ever
had to pay to have your ice machine de-scaled? Chlorine
in the water can form a mild form or Hydrochloric Acid.
This acid slowly eats away at the ice bin. Replacement of
the ice bin is very costly.
Even if you don't own your icemaker there
are major advantages to filtering the incoming water. Filtered
ice is harder and melts slower. Filtered ice tastes fresher.
Even the taste of expensive "mineral water" will improve
by using filtered ice. Installing a water filter on a leased
or rented machine will decrease machine breakdowns. Although
you may not pay for the repair, you pay for the downtime.
Water
Filtration for Coffee, Espresso and Cappuccino
"The coffee is bitter" By brewing coffee
with chlorinated water, you extract excess oils and acids
from the coffee grinds. This will limit your pot life to
about ½ hour before you need to pour it out. If you
throw away only 1 pot of coffee every day because of bitter
coffee, based on a $5.00 per pot resale price, it will cost
you about $1,800.00 per year in lost revenue. Particles
and rust in the incoming water clog up the fine capillary
tubes inside cappuccino makers resulting in expensive repairs.
Mineral deposits (scale) from the water actually form a
thermal barrier that coats the machine’s heating element.
This means your coffee and cappuccino machines need to work
a lot harder to make ice and use much more electricity.
Scale inhibition will also reduce clogging. Coffee bars
and food vendors around the world agree, coffee water must
be filtered.
Water Filtration for Steamers
Scale also effects steamers. The scale build-up
on the heating coils will increase your cooking time. Boiler
replacement costs $500 to $3000.
Water Filtration for Table
Water
Everything you put in front of your customers
reflects upon you restaurant. From the kind of bread you
serve to the tablecloth, customers pay attention. One of
the best ways to impress your customers is to serve water
that tastes good. Many restaurants have begun to advertise
filtered water in menus and advertisement. Think about it,
clean and safe water makes a statement about the establishment.
It conveys to the customer a message of quality.
