Using a water softner in your kitchen can help reduce limescale, allowing your appliances to work optimally and saving you money on energy and cleaning products.

What is a water softener and how does it work?

Water softeners can be hugely beneficial in almost any catering business. Plenty of appliances not only use water but are also connected to the plumbing to run. Examples of these include espresso machines, dishwashers and even steam ovens.

Water softeners work by passing water through a bed of resin. These resin beads are negatively charged and attract positively charged ions, such as calcium and magnesium. This exchange process removes these minerals from the water so they don't build up in the pipes and prevent appliances from working efficiently.

The resin beads eventually become saturated with minerals and need to be regenerated. This is done using a salt solution, which removes the minerals from the beads and back into the wastewater, which is then flushed down the drain.

Is a water softener suitable for my business?

Catering kitchens can benefit from using water softeners for several reasons. Firstly, water softeners can help to reduce limescale build-up in appliances and pipes. Limescale can cause appliances to become less efficient and can even cause damage to them over time.

Additionally, water softeners can also help to improve the quality of the water that is used in the kitchen. This is important as better quality water can improve the actual taste of food and drinks. Lastly, water softeners can also help to reduce the amount of detergent and other cleaning products needed to keep the kitchen clean, saving costs in the long term.

What are the benefits of using a water-softening device?

One of the most significant benefits of using a commercial water softener is its ability to reduce maintenance costs. Hard water can cause mineral build-up in pipes, appliances and other equipment, leading to costly repairs and replacements over time. By removing these minerals, a commercial water softener helps extend the life of your equipment and reduce repair and replacement expenses.

Another advantage of using a commercial water softener is improved energy efficiency. Hard water can decrease the effectiveness of heating and cooling systems, resulting in higher energy consumption and utility bills. By softening the water, a water softener helps these systems run more efficiently, saving you money in the long run.

In industries such as hotels, restaurants and laundromats, hard water can cause frequent breakdowns of equipment, resulting in downtime and lost revenue. By using a commercial water softener, you can prevent these issues and keep your business running smoothly without interruptions.

How to maintain a water softener system

Installing a water softener is not a difficult task and once it's installed, it only requires a little bit of maintenance. If you are considering a water softener, it’s important to determine the best location for the machine.

You need to choose a location that is close to a drain and where there is enough space to easily access the machine for any maintenance. After the machine is installed, it's important to test the water to ensure that it is being properly softened. You will also need to make sure you replace the salt tablets from time to time.
