When you own or operate a restaurant, you must be meticulous about the food you serve your customers. It needs to be of top quality, flavor, nutrition, and appearance. However, while water is just as essential to the dining experience, many restaurant owners aren't as conscientious about it. If you have hard water, consider the following reasons to solve the problem with a water treatment system.

How Can Your Restaurant Benefit From a Water Treatment System?

1. Better Taste & Appearance

Hard water is caused by an overabundance of mineral content, including calcium and magnesium. These can affect the flavor of the drinking water you serve customers, while also giving it a cloudy appearance. Worse, it can negatively impact the taste of any foods you serve that contain water, such as soups, stews, rice, pasta, and steamed vegetables.

2. Cleaner Dishes

One of the first ways many restaurant owners realize they have hard water is by noticing water deposits from the minerals on silver and glassware. These deposits will make dishes that just came out of the dishwasher appear dirty and spotty.

3. Fewer Appliance & Plumbing Problems

Hard water can shorten the lifespan of your appliances, as the minerals build up inside your water heater, dishwasher, ice machine, and pipes, causing a gunky buildup called "scale." You may also notice chalky deposits forming in the sink beneath the faucet. This can result in your appliances working harder and wearing out more quickly.
