Water filtration in foodservice

Water filtration in foodservice

The invisible and indispensable ally

BRITA filtered water optimises kitchen operations for foodservice professionals.

Water is used every day in most kitchen equipment, yet we rarely consider the impact of its quality.

The impact of water on equipment and food preparation

Mains water can contain too many minerals for equipment to operate optimally. When water undergoes thermal shock, whether hot or cold, the minerals responsible for carbonate hardness crystallise as limescale, which is very difficult to dissolve. This can cause breakdowns, impair the operation of certain components, increase energy consumption and shorten equipment life.

Water also contains chlorine and various particles (impurities, metals, sand, etc.). All of these elements can affect the taste and smell of food and drink preparations.

Paying attention to water in a professional kitchen is therefore essential. It should be treated and optimised, with the solution tailored to each piece of equipment and each requirement.

A BRITA solution for every piece of equipment

In addition to protecting equipment from limescale build-up, BRITA solutions have a direct impact on beverage and food quality, dish presentation, and equipment performance.

  • 1/ Dishwasher (low and medium volume operations): Achieve spotless, streak-free results with PURITY 120 Clean. Optimised water improves washing performance and reduces limescale deposits on dishes and glassware.
  •  2/ Steam and combi ovens: Food tastes better, vegetables retain their colour and texture, thanks to the PURITY Steam and PURITY C Steam ranges. Tailored water quality also helps reduce scale formation within cooking equipment.
  • 3 and 7/ Water dispensers: BRITA VIVREAU filtered water dispensers provide still, sparkling, or hot water directly at the point of consumption. They offer a sustainable alternative to bottled water and help reduce storage, transportation, and waste management costs.
  • 4/ Coffee machine: Water quality is essential for coffee extraction. PURITY C Quell ST solutions help reveal coffee aromas, improve crema quality, and ensure consistent results in every cup served.
  • 5/ Ice machine: With PURITY C500 and C1100 filters, ice cubes become clearer and preserve the taste of beverages. Filtered water also enhances the visual appearance of ice and reduces unwanted residues.
  • 6/ Glasswasher: Achieve spotless glasses without the need for manual polishing thanks to the complete demineralisation provided by PURITY 1200 Clean Extra. This result is particularly valued in bars, restaurants, and hotels that care about maintaining a premium image.

Paying attention to water quality helps protect equipment, reduce breakdowns, lower operating costs, improve performance and efficiency, and ensure consistent quality of finished products.

BRITA filtration solutions support foodservice professionals in their pursuit of efficiency, quality, and sustainability. By investing in optimised water, businesses can improve productivity, increase customer satisfaction, and extend the lifespan of their equipment.

In addition, BRITA cartridges are recyclable, contributing to a more responsible and environmentally conscious approach.
