The document discusses the importance of water quality for food services, highlighting common issues like chlorine, sediment, and hardness. It emphasizes that clean water is essential for brewing coffee and maintaining food service equipment, as poor water quality can affect taste and efficiency. Solutions for addressing water quality issues include filtration for sediment and minerals, and activated carbon filters for chlorine.

1. BETTER FOOD STARTS
WITH BETTER WATER

2. COMMON WATER QUALITY ISSUES INCLUDE:
CHLORINESEDIMENT HARDNESS
Chemical treatment
added in all municipal
supplies to disinfect
the water
Loose particles such as
sand and clay in water
Minerals not soluble in
water (primarily calcium
and magnesium)
FOR GREAT COFFEE, YOU NEED
TO START WITH CLEAN WATER.

3. Coffee is
98% water,
meaning that the
quality of the brewed
beverage relies heavily
on the quality of the
water. Water filtration
prevents excessive
scale build-up which
can affect taste.

4. WATER PLAYS A BIG
ROLE IN THE HEALTH
OF YOUR FOOD
SERVICE EQUIPMENT.
How to solve water quality issues so
they don’t harm your investments:
SEDIMENT - can be filtered
out mechanically
CHLORINE - effectively removed
by activated carbon filters
HARDNESS - can be treated by a
variety of products

5. WHY DO
MINERAL
SCALE
DEPOSITS
FORM?
Drops in pressure and
changes in temperature
allow minerals to come out
of the solution, causing
mineral scale deposits
to form in water-fed
equipment.

6. Water hardness
is the #1 problem
affecting food
service equipment.
Mineral scale deposits
can form in water-fed
equipment and alter
the odor and taste of
food and beverage!

7. FILTER YOUR
WATER!
Hard water can lead
to reduced operating
efficiency and equipment
life, and higher operating
and maintenance costs.
