Water treatment for glasswashers and dishwashers

Hard water leaves scale on elements, jets and pumps, and spots on glasses and cutlery. Good water treatment keeps your glasswasher or dishwasher running well and gives a better finish.

Watch: Robbo and Kiri on water treatment

Why hard water and scale cause problems

In Kitchen Talk Episode 4, Robbo and Kiri talk about water. Minerals in hard water build up as scale on heating elements, wash and rinse jets and pumps. Scale makes elements work harder, blocks jets and leaves glasses and cutlery spotty, so staff end up polishing by hand.

We check water treatment when we service

When CES Wellington services a commercial dishwasher or glasswasher, we check your water treatment as part of the job, and let you know if a filter or membrane needs changing.

Reverse osmosis, carbon and BWT filters

  • Reverse osmosis for polish-free glasses and cutlery
  • Carbon pre-filters to protect the reverse osmosis membrane from chlorine
  • BWT filters, such as BWT bestclear, on the hot supply

Better water also means you use less detergent. You can buy reverse osmosis, carbon and BWT filters from CES Wellington. Call us and we'll recommend the right setup for your machine.

See our dishwasher hygiene check and planned maintenance for more.
