Your questions, answered
-
How can I find the ideal setup for water treatment in my beverage production facility?
We’d love to help you find the perfect water treatment solution for your beverage production facility.
If you decide to hire Ecosoft for the water treatment setup in your production facility, our engineers will help you to find the ideal setup for your situation based on factors such as inlet water quality, local or European regulations for beverage production, food safety standards, drink(s) produced, factory size and more.
Apart from the technical details, our experts consider economic efficiency, total cost of ownership (TCO), consumption of energy, reagents, biocides, antiscalants, and consumables, as well as maintenance.
They will help you in finding the ideal products for your beverage production by thinking of every aspect of your water treatment system.
-
Can I use Ecosoft water treatment systems together with my existing infrastructure?
Yes, that is possible.
The universal construction of our water treatment systems allows for a very easy installation as well as combination with other brands.
It also allows you to connect a number of filters and other products in series to achieve the perfect water quality for your beverage production from soft drinks to liquor.
-
What are the required purification steps for water in drink production?
The exact steps required to achieve the ideal water quality for your beverage production depend on a number of factors, but here are some of the most widely used technologies and processes:
Mechanical cleaning
This pre-treatment of inlet water is done either with ultrafiltration, cartridge filters or backfill filters to avoid clogging or contamination of subsequent water treatment systems in your production facility.
Complex purification
In this step, impurities such as hardness salts, iron, manganese, and organic matter are removed from the water intended for beverage production – we often recommend our patented ECOMIX® technology for this step.
Sorption purification
Chlorinated water doesn’t taste very good, but it’s the standard in many countries for health reasons. To remove any residual chlorine from the water to be used in the drinks you produce, activated carbon filters are often added.
Reverse osmosis (RO)
The final purification step is usually RO filtration, which removes about 99% of all dissolved impurities and makes sure the water complies with sanitary-chemical and microbiological standards.
-
Are your products for beverage water treatment smart?
Yes, we do have a number of smart water treatment products for the beverage industry.
Here at Ecosoft, we know that monitoring performance is key to ensure smooth production workflows in the drink industry, which is why we developed a number of IoT-ready products such as reverse osmosis filters for your water purification.

-
Do I need a reverse osmosis filter for my beverage production?
Yes, a reverse osmosis (RO) filter is always recommended for water treatment systems in the beverage industry.
As reverse osmosis removes about 99% of dissolved impurities from water, it’s a particularly good choice for the purification of water that’s used as an ingredient in drinks.
RO plays a vital role in achieving the quality required to meet food safety standards – and if you decide to use the commercial reverse osmosis systems from Ecosoft, you profit from great recovery rates of up to 70%.
Ecosoft has a wide range of reverse osmosis filter systems for both, small and large drink productions:
- Industrial 8’’reverse osmosis filter systems for large productions with a water consumption of 2+ m³/hour.
- Commercial 4” reverse osmosis filters systems for small productions with a water consumption of 0,25–2 m³/hour.
-
Can reverse osmosis improve product consistency?
Reverse osmosis significantly enhances beverage consistency, as water is a key ingredient and dramatically affects the taste and odour. When its quality is controlled by reliable RO systems, fluctuating results are reduced to the absolute smallest possible degree.
-
What water treatment systems are used in bottling plants?
Typically, bottling plants use a multi-stage filtration combining reverse osmosis filters with pre-filtration and final disinfection.
-
What water quality is required for soft drink production?
Soft drink production is subject to standard drinking water regulations. Water is expected to be colourless, purified of chlorine, meet microbiological sterility, and have a neutral taste and odour. Low levels of TDS are allowed.
-
How often should beverage filtration systems be serviced?
The maintenance schedule depends on the system chosen. Typically, sediment filters and media are replaced every 4-6 months, while membrane elements are replaced every year or more rarely, depending on inlet water quality.
-
What affects the cost of industrial beverage water treatment?
The water treatment system affects the purification cost. When choosing a unit, you should consider its energy consumption, consumables to replace, and its recovery rate. Also, source water parameters and the intensity of equipment usage do matter.
To ensure that tasteless and odourless safe drinking water is used to produce beverages of high quality, water treatment solutions should be incorporated into the manufacturing process. For this industry, laboratories, and other businesses, we offer systems, ensuring the most comprehensive purification at reasonable prices. At the Ecosoft shop, you can easily place an online order and have the product delivered to any global destination in several days.
Water Standards for Beverage Manufacturing
The use of treated water for beverage production is a legal requirement that goes beyond the mandatory standards applied to tap water. In the EU, this key ingredient must comply with the Drinking Water Directive (EU 2020/2184) that describes proper water as purified from harmful microorganisms and chemicals. Also, it strictly limits the amount of heavy metals, pesticides, and the so-called forever chemicals or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that do not break down.
Filtration and Purification Technologies
Ecosoft’s food-grade water treatment solutions include various purification technologies. You can buy a water softener, such as the Ecosoft Bi-Block, in two configurations (twin or duplex), which is ready to treat water without complex installation. It is based on the use of an ion exchange resin, reducing water hardness. Its pre-configured Ecosoft CE control valve comes with the menu in Ukrainian. Also, we offer assemblies providing several purification steps. Sediment and carbon filters trap large particles and eliminate chlorine, while RO membranes remove all other impurities.
Reverse Osmosis for Beverage Production
Reverse osmosis is the technology that enables the removal of over 99% of contaminants from water. It does not solve the hardness issues. That is why the system can include a softener to provide the most comprehensive purification. In reverse osmosis systems, a very fine membrane is used. Only small water molecules can pass through this membrane. All impurities remain unfiltered and are sent to the drain together with wastewater.
If you are looking for RO filtration systems, consider the Ecosoft Inox IoT MO12000 unit, designed in a stainless steel frame. It operates 24/7, processing 500 L/h. It can boast a high recovery rate of 75%. In our catalogue, there are RO stations intended for higher productivity. For instance, the Ecosoft INOX IoT MO2 system with an inlet water mixing line treats 2000-2500 L/h.
Taste Consistency and Product Quality
Our filtration systems provide reliable and stable purification. Beverage manufacturers can count on high-quality water with constant parameters and ensure the taste consistency of their beverages. Also, water purified from microorganisms and organic matter increases shelf life, as spoilage agents are eliminated and bacterial growth is impossible.
Water Treatment for Bottling Plants
At bottling plants, several stages of water filtration are involved to meet regulatory compliance of packaged drinking water. Depending on water composition, various technologies are used. Typically, reverse osmosis is combined with remineralisation and physical disinfection to guarantee microbiological stability. For a final step, we offer the reliable Ecosoft E-720 ultraviolet water steriliser that eliminates up to 99.9% of viruses and bacteria. It is designed to operate for up to 9,000 hours. For remote facilities, containerised stations designed for emergency water supply or for settlements located far from infrastructure can be used.
