Elevate Your Water Systems–and Your Guests’ Experiences
Fountain Machines: Maintain Recipe and Taste Compliance
When customers order a fountain drink from your establishment, they expect the flavor that they know –and love. When these beverages don’t taste right, it can leave a poor lasting impression on the overall customer experience. Clean water is essential to delivering an ideal, consistent flavor profile. It plays an integral role in your business by protecting your supply lines, reducing equipment downtime–and keeping customers satisfied.
Did you know? 66% of patrons report beverage quality as ‘extremely important’ in their overall satisfaction of a foodservice establishment.*
COMMON PROBLEMS:
- Disinfectants can cause a bad taste and smell in beverages and ice
- Water impurities can affect the syrup-to-water ratio, leading to inconsistent beverage quality
- Excess sediment can cause clogged supply lines, resulting in equipment downtime
- Poor water quality can have a negative impact on carbonator performance and equipment longevity
CATEGORY TREATMENT:
- KineticoPRO’s water filtration solutions remove sediment, off-tastes, foul odors, disinfectants and particulates
Ice Machines: Deliver Crystal-Clear Ice That Tastes as Good as the Drink
In the United States, ice is used frequently in fountain beverages, bar service, iced brewed beverages and specialty drinks. Because of that, the quality of the ice is just as important as the beverage it keeps cold. When unfiltered or poor-quality water is used to make ice, it can leave the ice looking cloudy or with an off-taste or odor. Ice machines come in a variety of sizes and styles–all requiring different forms of water treatments–so it’s important to determine which KineticoPRO solution is right for your business.
Did you know? 60% of patrons attribute poor water and ice quality to filtration-related associations, including lack of maintenance, proper filtration and timely filter exchanges*
COMMON PROBLEMS:
- Hard water conditions can lead to scale build-up and damage the internal mechanisms of the ice maker; this affects the life of your equipment and may result in costly service repairs
- Hardness mineral deposits can deliver cloudy ice due to the solidification of hardness ions trapped in the ice
- Ice made from chlorinated water may cause foul odors as it melts into your beverage
CATEGORY TREATMENT:
- KineticoPRO’s water filtration solutions remove scale-causing minerals, off-tastes, foul odors, disinfectants and particulates
Coffee & Tea Brewers: Brew the Perfect Cup, Every Time
If you’re looking to finetune your barista skills, look beyond the coffee beans or tea leaves. Water makes up a staggering 98% of most coffee and tea beverages and can significantly impact the beverages’ flavor, aroma, clarity and consistency. A proper balance of minerals and total dissolved solids (TDS), as well as the absence of impurities, are necessary to a flawless pour. Since water quality varies by location, a simple test will help you learn about your water to maintain recipe compliance, improve brewing cycle times and capture the full flavors of your coffee and teas.
Did you know? 88% of patrons consider the consistency of coffee and tea beverages between establishment locations extremely important*
COMMON PROBLEMS:
- Chlorine and chloramines in municipal water can cause off taste and foul odors
- Hardness minerals–such as calcium and magnesium–can cause lime and scale build-up on heating elements, which leads to equipment downtime, costly service calls and increased energy consumption
- Turbidity, the presence of a large number of particles, can cause beverage cloudiness and discoloration in tea
- The presence of suspended solids and particulates may prevent adequate water flow and can negatively impact the overall equipment performance
CATEGORY TREATMENT:
- KineticoPRO’s water filtration solutions remove sediment, off-tastes, foul odors, disinfectants and particulates
- KineticoPRO’s water softeners remove water hardness and scale-causing minerals
- KineticoPRO’s reverse osmosis solutions reduce TDS
Steamers & Combi-Ovens: Enhance the Culinary Experience and Maintain Operational Efficiency
Steamers and combi-ovens perform best when they’re fueled by clean water. It’s vital to quickly remove scale-causing minerals, disinfectants and other impurities that may impact customer satisfaction, product performance and equipment longevity. Don’t wait to experience downtime; by optimizing your water treatment solutions, you can help deliver a consistently positive customer experience –and keep operations running smoothly.
COMMON PROBLEMS:
- Hard water converted to steam can cause scale and corrosion, which reduces equipment performance and energy efficiency –and results in more frequent repairs
- Particulate contaminants found in steam–including rust, scale and sediment–can be transferred from water to nozzles and valves, resulting in equipment downtime due to clogging
- Chlorine, chloramine and chlorides can create a corrosive environment, which may lead to frequent service calls and impact the long-term life of your equipment
CATEGORY TREATMENT:
- KineticoPRO’s water filtration solutions remove sediment, off-tastes, foul odors, disinfectants and particulates
- KineticoPRO’s water softener solutions reduce water hardness and alkalinity levels
Warewashing: Save on Energy Costs and Deliver a Spot-Free Customer Experience
Spotted dishware can leave the wrong impression–and water is often the culprit. If sediment and minerals are prevalent in your water, it is important to remove these impurities before they cause lime and scale build-up on glassware, dishware and flatware. This will help you to save on energy costs, prolong equipment longevity and provide cleaner-looking dishware for your customers.
COMMON PROBLEMS:
- Hardwater can cause spotted tableware and leave etching on glassware over time
- Unpurified water can increase energy consumption, multiply your costly detergent usage, and lead to scale build-up–which results in clogged nozzles and rinse jets
- Disinfectants in water, such as chlorine and chloramines, can lead to corrosion and rust over time
CATEGORY TREATMENT:
- KineticoPRO’s water filtration solutions remove chlorine and chloramines from water-feeding warewashing equipment
- KineticoPRO’s water softeners reduce water hardness and scale-causing minerals
