Case study

Challenge

Municipal water testing at 580 mg/L TDS. Espresso extraction was inconsistent shift to shift despite no changes to grind or dose.

Solution

Remineralising RO sized to a 3-group bar. TDS calibrated to 143 mg/L matching SCA brewing targets.

Result

Extraction variance resolved within two weeks of install. Zero boiler callouts in the 14 months since.

Challenge

Scale buildup on combi ovens and steam lines triggering quarterly service calls and kitchen downtime.

Solution

Zoned softening across kitchen and laundry lines. Gold maintenance plan with quarterly visits.

Result

Service call frequency down 60%. Head chef reported measurable improvement in combi oven steam performance.

Challenge

Ice machines across three locations producing cloudy, off-taste ice affecting bar presentation.

Solution

RO with UV polish stage on all ice lines. Sized per location by draw rate.

Result

Crystal-clear ice from day one across all sites. Systems have run 18 months without intervention.
