Even with established hotels, competition, cash flow, labor costs, and high overhead can put a strain on the ability of the hotel to invest in equipment. Items such as ice makers, steamers, combi ovens, beverage dispensing, espresso/coffee machines, dishwashers, showers, linen/towel washers, and the like are essential to hotel operations. Using proper water softening and filtration is a warranty requirement for many manufacturers and not properly installing or maintaining proper filtration can be costly to operators.
A water softener diminishes scale causing contaminants such as calcium & magnesium thus reducing scale build-up that affects equipment performance, improves impression-oriented applications, reduces soap usage, maintains color and softness of linen and towels, and reduces labor costs. No matter the decision-maker, the essential concerns are detergent and chemical use, equipment maintenance such as the cost of de-liming, utility costs, labor, and customer satisfaction. Minimal downtime on equipment is critical to day-to-day operations. Equipment must function at peak performance.
Essentially there are two main areas today’s Hotel Operators are most concerned with: Daily savings on operations/equipment maintenance/labor, and increased guest satisfaction.
Operations, Labor & Maintenance Cost-Saving Applications
Increased Guest Satisfaction
A DIFFERENCE YOU CAN TASTE.
Nothing impacts the quality, efficiency and safety of your operations the way that water does. From improving the taste, color and consistency of food and beverage, to increasing the efficiency of food processing equipment and appliances….clean, filtered water makes all of the difference.
COFFEE/TEA/WATER – THERE’S NOTHING LIKE A GREAT CUP OF COFFEE
Unless of course, scale buildup, chlorine and other impurities harm the flavor and overall customer experience. Better quality water improves the taste and consistency of your coffee and tea service while protecting brewing equipment from clogging, corrosion, and breakdowns.
BEVERAGE SYSTEMS – GO WITH THE FLOW
By removing harmful particulates that can damage the flow of your beverage equipment and your revenue streams, water treatment solutions ensure optimal quality control and reduced downtime. Aside from maintaining proper carbonation levels, filtration controls excess hardness, chloring, chloramines, lead and other impurities that can impact the flavor, appearance, and safety of your beverages and ultimately, the customer experience.
ICE SYSTEMS – LET’S BE CRYSTAL CLEAR
The taste, odor, and overall quality of the beverages you serve are driven by the cleanliness and clarity of the ice you use. Maintaining a state-of-the-art water filtration system for your ice machines not only improves the flavor and consistency of beverages but enhances the health and safety of diners by removing harmful contaminants that might be in the water.
STEAM SYSTEMS – SCALE IT BACK
Scale build-up can harm the overall operation and energy efficiency of steamers, combi ovens and ware washers. Without the benefit of a quality water filtration system, hardness, and alkalinity along with impurities such as chlorine and chloramines may contribute to steam equipment corrosion and reduced service life.
LINEN/TOWEL WASHERS, DISH MACHINES, SHOWERS – WASH AWAY YOUR CONCERNS
Scale build-up can harm the overall operation and energy efficiency of this equipment as well. Customer experience is a both a visual and tactile experience that can be positively impacted
through clean, crisp, and clear dishware, soft, vibrant towels and linens, and a smooth feel to shower experiences.
