Your commercial dishwasher will only be as good as the chemicals you use in it. It is unwise to compromise on this important issue, as using inferior or inappropriate substances could lead to poor performance of your machine or, even worse, to breakdown and failure. Always use the detergents recommended by your supplier and ensure that correct dosage is applied. Some detergents are not very effective in hard water areas, so if you live in a hard water area of the country, you will need to use a detergent recommended for this situation. Premium detergents may seem more expensive, but it can be false economy to choose a weaker strength inferior product. You will probably have to use more of the product and at the same time unsatisfactory results may be obtained. Bulk buy wherever possible, as you will make substantial cost savings and it is worth asking your retailer for a discount. As well as detergent, a quality rinse aid will also be needed for your commercial dishwasher or glass washer.
A descaler for a commercial dishwasher is absolutely essential to help keep your appliance in tip top condition. Your machine uses tap water to clean dishes and this is not pure. The majority of England suffers from hard water to some degree. Descaler removes lime scale build-up from the inside of dishwashers, glass washers and other appliances. If your appliance is prone to lime scale build-up, you should seriously consider investing in a water softener, as it will inhibit the build-up of scale and thus prevent the damage it causes. Hard water is high in dissolved minerals, specifically calcium and magnesium and this causes a build-up on the heating elements of appliances such as commercial dishwashers and glass washers, thereby compromising their performance and reducing their service life. Hard water also impacts negatively on detergent performance, with the most common signs of poor wash results being tannin stains left in tea and coffee cups or mugs. Assuming the dishwasher is functioning correctly, that the items to be washed are correctly stacked and that a good quality detergent and rinse aid are being used in the correct quantities, then it is extremely likely that hard water is the cause of the poor wash performance. If this is the case, then installing a water softener on your machine will dramatically improve your wash results.
WATER SOFTENER RATINGS
Water softeners are available in either manual or automatic forms. A manual water softener is suitable for all glass washers and medium use front loading commercial dishwashers and is easily fitted with a flexible water hose. The price is typically £100. A fully automatic metered electronic cold water softener is suitable for appliances with a cold water feed and costs around £450. An automatic electronic water hot water softener is suitable for use with appliances which have a hot water feed and is priced at around £550.
Take good care of your commercial dishwasher or glass washer and you will be rewarded with many years of useful service life!
