Coffee / Tea Applications

Coffee is 98.7% water. Not only will yours taste better and be safer to
drink with Pentair Everpure® water treatment solutions, your coffee
equipment will also be protected from corrosion and scale buildup.

Good coffee and tea can be a real draw for customers. But if the taste
and odor of the water going in to each cup isn’t right, it won’t matter
what premium coffee beans or tea leaves you’ve used. For example:
Chlorine can alter both aroma and taste. It oxidizes aromatics and oils,
increases acidity, and creates byproducts that can cause an “earthy or
moldy” tone to the flavor.

Total dissolved solids (TDS) can cause poor extraction of the coffee
grounds. Under-extraction leads to weak and sour drinks, while over-
extraction leads to bitterness.
High hardness causes excessive oils to be released, leaving an “oil slick”
on the surface of the beverage.
If you are experiencing scaling or corrosion, your brewing equipment will
require more maintenance, may break down or, over time, may fail
altogether. Also, scale on elements can increase the energy required to
run equipment by 40% or more.

Drinking Water Applications

A glass of water is often the first impression in a dining experience.
Today's consumers are more concerned than ever about the quality of
water, whether at home or away. Will they have confidence in the water
you serve them? Not if the drinking water you serve is cloudy, has an off-
taste or unexpected odor.

Reducing chlorine, chloramines and other unwanted chemicals that can
affect the taste and odor of water.
Reducing cysts and other potentially harmful contaminants.
Reducing particulates that cause cloudy water.

Espresso Applications

Espresso is 85-96% water. Making a good espresso is an art form, but
premium filtered water from Pentair Everpure is a great start toward
creating the perfect cup.

Brewing a perfect espresso beverage requires proper management of a
number of variables, including the grind of the bean, the dosing, the
temperature of the water, the brewing pressure, the tamp pressure, the
extraction time and the mineral content of the water – and, of course,
the blend and roasting of the beans, the quality of the espresso machine
and the skill of the barista.

We can help you with the ingredient water component which, unfiltered
and out of a tap, is a complex solution of chemicals, organics and
minerals, with ranging pH and alkalinity characteristics. Poor quality
water can impact espresso beverages in a number of ways:

Scale can cause poor pre-infusion and channeling through the puck,
leading to under-extraction and thus a weak drink.
Reduced pressure due to scale buildup can lead to little or no crema.
Chlorine can alter both aroma and taste. It oxidizes aromatics and oils,
increasing a beverage’s acidity.
Total dissolved solids (TDS) can cause poor extraction. Under-extraction
leads to weak and sour drinks, while over-extraction leads to bitterness.

Penatir Everpure – Dask Services 8

Water Solutions

If you are experiencing scaling or corrosion of your espresso equipment,

poor quality water is the likely culprit. One which increases downtime

risk and maintenance costs, but also negatively impacts your ability to

produce quality espressos.

Scale on machine components can lower operating temperature and
limit flow, causing poor extraction and reduced steam for frothing.
Chlorides can attack metals, especially stainless steel, forming “rust” on
surfaces and causing holes that can lead to leaks and loss of pressure.
Corrosion can damage copper boilers.

Pentair Everpure filtration solutions provide consistently clean water
while retaining the perfect amount of mineral content for espresso
applications, and protect your equipment investment by reducing scale
damage and corrosion for:

Premium water quality so that every espresso cup produced tastes great
Lower downtime, equipment maintenance and replacement costs.
Loyal, repeat customers and increased profitability.

Fountain Applications

Fountain beverages are 87% water. The right filtration solution from
Pentair Everpure® can consistently deliver that “right out of the bottle”
taste, fizz and appeal your customers expect.

A fountain drink is typically five parts water to one part syrup (frozen
carbonated beverage ratios vary), so around 87% water, and most are
served with ice. Since ice is 100% water, that ratio only increases as ice
melts in your beverage. Those numbers illustrate just how critical a role
clean, high quality water plays in the final taste and smell of a fountain
beverage. (And what many do not know is that water quality also affects
the performance of delivery and dispensing systems, the balance of
water to syrup and the quality of the carbonation).

Water contaminants are the most likely reason for off-tastes and odors
in a fountain drink. Municipalities use chlorine or chloramines to
disinfect central water supplies and those chemicals oxidize and break
down sugars in water. Those reactions produce a range of different
compounds that can negatively influence the taste of a beverage, and
byproducts that can actually amplify a chlorine or ammonia-like taste. In
addition, because free chlorine is a gas, it will dissipate along with the
carbonation after a drink is poured, creating a “swimming pool” smell.

Penatir Everpure – Dask Services 10

Water Solutions

Other fountain beverage taste and odor problems caused by water

contaminants include:

High total dissolved solids (TDS) can cause weak carbonation and lead to
“soft” ice which melts quickly.
Organics such as the algae, molds and bacteria that naturally live in lake
and river water sources can cause an “earthy” or “moldy” taste and odor,
plus impact beverage color.
Tannins caused by decaying organic matter in surface water will often
give beverages a yellowish tint; this is especially noticeable in clear
lemon-lime drinks and iced teas.
"Rotten egg smell” that originates from hydrogen sulfide in water which
is produced by bacteria in deep wells and in stagnant, low use water
mains.

Foodservice operations may resort to adjusting the brix ratio to mask
these off-taste and odor concerns which only increases syrup costs – an
expensive fix which directly impacts profit.

Pentair Everpure filtration solutions help protect your fountain beverage
revenue stream by helping deliver:

Consistent, high quality, affordable fountain beverages.

Lower equipment downtime, maintenance and replacement costs.

Satisfied customers.

Increased profits.

Ice Applications

Ice is 100% water and 70% of service calls are water-related.

Good quality ice has a sparkle to it and when you serve a refreshing glass

of ice water, you want it to look clean and crystal clear. Pentair Everpure®

filtration solutions remove particulates that result in cloudy, “soft” ice,

as well as reduce other contaminants that improve taste and odor. In

addition, our water treatment systems control scale buildup in ice

making equipment to maintain peak operating efficiency and extend

working life.

Whether you’re using a cube, flaker or nugget style ice machine, Pentair
Everpure filtration solutions deliver the high quality water you need to
produce clean, clear ice for customers while protecting an expensive
equipment investment by addressing challenges such as:

Hard water can lead to cloudy, misshapen ice and “mushy”, fast-melting
ice.
High iron content can promote slime buildup inside machine and bin,
which is not only unappealing but can also cause corrosion.
Scale buildup can cause reduced ice production, longer harvesting cycles
or complete machine “freeze up”.
Dirt, sediment and scale can cause valves to stick which may result in
continuously leaking water, bridging of cubes, or preventing ice

Scale on the water-cooled condenser coil can increase water usage.

Metal corrosion due to chlorine and chlorides in water.

Mineral solids, dirt and sediment can be abrasive, causing premature

component wear.

Our filtration systems also help reduce water and electricity usage
related to ice production.

No fountain drink is complete without ice and the growing popularity of
iced coffees, sweetened iced teas and more makes today’s demand for
ice higher than ever. Let Pentair Everpure filtration solutions help you:

Keep ice machines running at peak efficiency.
Prevent downtime – and lost revenue – while lowering operating costs.
Conserve energy and capture utility savings.

Ice Tea Applications

Iced tea is 98% water. Produce clear, refreshing, iced tea beverages –
every time – with a Pentair Everpure® water treatment solution, and
protect your brewing equipment investment at the same time.

Foodservice iced tea sales have been rising steadily in recent years, with
many customers choosing it as a great-tasting, healthy alternative to soft
drinks. What could be more healthy and refreshing than iced tea made
with fresh, clean, filtered water from Pentair Everpure? Our premium
quality filtered water addresses taste and aesthetic concerns around:

Hardness that can lead to cloudy iced tea. Minerals in the water prevent
tannins from dissolving properly, which can darken the beverage and
leave an “oil slick” on the tea’s surface.
Chlorine which can alter both aroma and taste. It oxidizes aromatics and
oils and increases acidity.
TDS can cause poor solids extraction. Over-extraction of flavonoids and
tannins cause bitterness and leave a “film” on top of the tea. Under-
extraction leads to weak color and flavor.
Scale buildup in equipment can cause improper brewing temperatures.
Too high and tea can taste burnt and bitter. Too low and complex flavors
disappear.

Steam Applications

Steam is 100% water. Let Pentair Everpure® help you protect your
equipment investment by reducing damaging scale buildup and
corrosion.

Steam cooking is an important means for foodservice operators to meet
the needs of today’s health-conscious consumers. Also, steam
equipment is viewed by staff as easy to use, and chefs appreciate the
cooking flexibility and productivity benefits these units afford.

Continuous availability of high quality water is critical to optimal steam
equipment operation. If your area’s water is hard, contains chemicals or
other contaminants of any significant level, they can coat and corrode
the steaming components. Scale buildup and possible chemical
carryover can deteriorate steamer performance, negatively impact food
quality, and result in premature steamer component failures.

Regardless of whether you use boilerless or boiler-based steam
equipment, when water is converted to steam, contaminants are left
behind that can cause scale and corrosion. Chorine and chlorides can
destroy stainless steel probes and prematurely corrode cabinet racks and
surfaces.

In addition, for boilerless applications:

Penatir Everpure – Dask Services 16

Water Solutions

Scale on spritzer tubes can reduce performance: lowers steam
production, increases risk of overheating water injection solenoid and
excessive browning of food.
Scale buildup makes equipment take longer to heat up: wastes energy,
results in longer cooking cycles, and increases risk of failure due to over-
firing of heat exchangers.
Stuck floats and valves lead to under-filling which could unexpectedly
trip the safety and shutdown the unit altogether.

In boiler applications:
Scale in the boiler can cause stress fractures and leaks. Boilers are
expensive to replace and, in most cases, are not carried “standard” in
servicing dealer inventory. Also, equipment must be moved to replace
the boiler which can dislodge flakes of scale into components, potentially
causing entirely new problems.
Scale causes probes to have false readings which, when low, will keep
the unit from heating and, if high, could detect a false overheated
condition, unnecessarily shutting down the unit.
Equipment delimings are expensive and labor-intensive.
The bottom line is that it’s crucial for steam equipment to have clean
water, and that’s where Pentair Everpure filtration solutions come in. We
offer a range of system options to help:

Remove chlorine and minerals that cause serious problems such as
abrasion, clogging and corrosion.
Improve operational efficiency and reduce the risk of equipment
breakdown.
Allow for fewer delimings.
Lower energy and maintenance costs.
Extend the life of your equipment investment.

Warewashing Applications

Scaling is not just damaging to warewashing equipment, it also wastes
energy and produces unsightly spotting on glasses, dishes and
flatware.

Poor source water quality negatively impacts your warewashing
equipment in a number of ways:
Scale increases energy usage - as little as 1/8” buildup can cost you
hundreds of dollars annually.
Scale can damage heating elements in booster water heaters.
Particles can etch glassware over time.
Scale can clog orifices, reducing flow and causes gaps in cleaning
Corrosion from chlorine and chlorides attacks metals, resulting in surface
rust and premature parts disintegration.
Pentair Everpure filtration solutions inhibit or reduce limescale buildup,
help prevent corrosion, and allow for easy deliming. The result is
equipment that cleans more effectively, runs more smoothly, and lasts
longer.

Water Line Management Applications

Expanding operator beverage menus mean more equipment than ever is
being used in foodservice operations today. New equipment and an
increasing number of beverage lines creates challenges for service
dealers in that both also mean more water lines to manage, and
additional time required to identifying and trace those lines during
service.
In restaurants these days, it is not uncommon to find:
New beverage lines tangled with old lines.
Poor or no identification of lines.
No shut-off valves on lines.
Hard-plumbed lines with little or no flexibility.
This can lead to:
Time needlessly spent trying to identify lines and trace them back to the
equipment.
More time spent on a project than required or desired, leading to
increased cost if it can’t be billed back to the operator.

Water Pressure Management

As foodservice establishments expand their beverage offerings, the
increased water usage can adversely impact operational performance.
This, coupled with fluctuating city water flow and pressure, can lead to
inconsistent drink quality, poor beverage dispenser performance and
premature exhaustion of water filter cartridges.

Pentair Shurflo offers a wide range of water pressure management
systems. Our Water Boost Systems elevates the pressure up to 90 psi and
stores the water under pressure in an accumulator tank. This ensures
that there is enough pressurized water for all beverage system
components during peak operating hours when the water pressure in the
restaurant is likely to fluctuate. Our pump and accumulator tank systems
maintain adequate, consistent water pressure to one or more dispensing
valves, and are NSF, UL and CSA listed.

Water Pressure Reducing Valves (WPRV) are devices that are set to
specific psi levels, with pressure ranges from 30 to 80 psi. The WPRV
should be installed as close as possible to the inlet of the carbonator
pump and dispenser.

Penatir Everpure – Dask Services 21

Water Solutions

Water filtration systems have minimum water pressure requirements.
Keep in mind that if water pressure is too low, filters will plug
prematurely because particulates collect only on the surface of the
carbon and will essentially “cake” itself, instead of penetrating deep into
the cartridge. It’s important to always put a carbon water filtration
system after the water boost to help keep:
• High water pressure flowing to the filter system, which extends the life
of the cartridges.
• Chlorine in the bladder of the water boost to prevent growth of algae
and bacteria.
Add a Pentair Shurflo Water Pressure Management System to boost your
beverage equipment’s performance and optimize your ability to serve
consistent, high quality beverages. Our water pressure management
solutions are proven, reliable performers even in the most challenging
foodservice environment, and are available in a wide range of
configurations to fit multiple applications.
