Water Filtration Systems for Restaurants

While all of our water treatment systems purify water for use in your kitchen equipment reliably, the perfect choice depends on a number of factors like the following:

• How many appliances will use the purified water?
• How high is the daily consumption of the purified water?
• How big or small is the space available for a water filtration system in your restaurant?
• What quality does the inlet water have in your restaurant?

If you’re unsure about the best water filtration setup for your restaurant, we’d love to help you.

Plan the water filtration system for your restaurant >

Yes, it will.

Tap water usually contains impurities or might be chlorinated depending on where you live, all of which interferes with the taste of the dishes and drinks you prepare in your restaurant.

In order to achieve next-level taste in the food and drinks you serve in your restaurant, we recommend pure water that’s been filtered to remove any impurities.

A great starting point for this would be one of our reverse osmosis filters like the RObust 1500 or the RObust 4000, which are eco-friendly and provide great purification results that will elevate the taste of your dishes and drinks.

While it’s not strictly necessary to use a tank when using our commercial water filtration system in your restaurant, we do recommend it for certain use cases: For example, using a tank for the water used by your coffee machine helps to average TDS levels in the water, which results in consistent coffee flavour.

We recommend installing a tank in all cases where our reverse osmosis filters are connected to additional devices. 

While many of our products are IoT-ready, our current solutions for the food and beverage industry aren’t smart.

Yes, you can achieve the TDS levels recommended by the SCA with Ecosoft water treatment systems.

The SCA recommends a TDS level of 75–250 ppm, although it’s important to note that the composition of the Total Dissolved Solids has a significant impact on the taste of your coffee.

With its combination of calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg), the RObust COFFEE creates water that’s optimized to enhance the unique aromas of coffee.

Yes, you can achieve SCA-compliant water with our products.

Our direct flow reverse osmosis filter RObust COFFEE was specifically designed for coffee making and delivers SCA-compliant water through four steps:

Step 1: Pre-filtration

Mechanical impurities, chlorine, chlorinated compounds and natural organic substances are removed from your inlet water.

Step 2: Membrane filtration (RO step)

The water is pushed through a semi-permeable reverse osmosis membrane to remove 99.8% of dissolved impurities, including viruses and bacteria.

Step 3: Special coffee cartridge

Now the water is enriched with calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) to enhance the aromas of the coffee brewed by your baristas.

Step 4: Post-carbon filtration

In this final step, the water is purified one last time to remove any residual odours that might impair the taste and aroma of your coffee.

But even if you decide against the RObust COFFEE for whatever reason, you can combine one of our reverse osmosis filters in your restaurant with sediment filters, water softeners and mineralisation cartridges as needed to achieve the water quality recommended by the SCA.

If you’re unsure how to do that, we’d love to help you plan the ideal water filtration system for the coffee station in your restaurant.

Yes, we do.

The RObust 4000 was specifically designed with restaurants in mind: the ultra-compact direct flow reverse osmosis filter purifies water to ensure it doesn’t damage your dishwasher or other restaurant equipment.

The RObust 4000 is designed for continuous operation of up to 20 hours per day, has a great recovery rate of up to 60–65% and provides up to 3l of purified water per minute.

Apart from that, many of our restaurant clients happily use some of our other RO products for water filtration in their restaurant:

• RObust Mini: direct flow RO filter with enough performance for small places like cafés at a very reasonable price
• RObust 1500: direct flow RO filter with a high flow rate, perfect for cafés, hotels, offices, schools, laboratories, dental offices, private homes, and more.  
• RObust 3000 MAX: direct flow RO filter with a high flow rate, designed to supply purified water to various kitchen equipment such as ice makers, steamers, ovens, dishwashers, water dispensers, and more

Maintenance of restaurant filtration systems depends on the selected unit and its operating principle. Mostly, a regular replacement of membrane elements and media is required. The schedule varies.

Yes, we’ve got powerful filtration systems with a high flow rate that can supply the entire restaurant without interruption. For instance, the Ecosoft RObust 4000 direct flow reverse osmosis system with a flow rate of up to 180 L is designed for 20 hours of continuous operation.

Before choosing a filtration system, it is required to test the feed water to know its parameters and calculate the demand for purified water. Also, the expected result should be clear: whether the business needs softening only or wants to have comprehensive water purification.
