| Equipment | Symptoms / Problems | Typical Solutions |
|---|---|---|
| ICE MACHINE | Cloudy ice, mineral build-up on the evaporator increasing time to create more ice & excess energy usage. Bad taste & odor affecting beverage quality. | Sediment & Carbon Filtration, Reverse Osmosis, Patented Scale Inhibitor |
| STEAMER | Build-up on heating elements creating excess energy use and eventual break down. | Water Softener, Patented Scale Inhibitor |
| POST MIX | Chlorine causing dilution of syrups & taste. Chloramines* creating bad after-taste. | Sediment & Carbon Filtration |
| ESPRESSO MACHINE | Scale build-up from hardness minerals on heating elements creating extra energy use and eventual break down. | Water Softener, Sediment & Carbon Filtration, Reverse Osmosis |
| COFFEE BREWER | Chlorine causing dilution of coffee flavor and chloramines creating bad after-taste. | Sediment & Carbon Filtration, Reverse Osmosis |
| DISH MACHINE | Scale build-up from hardness minerals on heating elements creating extra energy use and eventual break down. Streaking of dishes, glasses and other dinnerware. | Water Softener |
| WATER HEATER | Scale build-up from hardness minerals on heating elements creating extra energy use and eventual break down. Sediment build-up on bottom of tank causing reduced life of tank. Discolored hot water. | Water Softener, Sediment Filtration |
| PRODUCE MISTING SYSTEMS | Potentially hardness minerals, chlorine and sediment build-up causing clogged systems, stained produce and bad taste residual. | Reverse Osmosis system, Ultra Violet Light |
NOTE:
*Chloramines are used in a number of
town water supplies as a disinfectant
in place of chlorine or other methods.
It is a compound of chlorine & ammonia, sometimes used in surface water supplies (reservoirs) due to concerns related to the formation of potentially harmful byproducts.
