Protect your steam-based baking equipment against scale, corrosion and hard water with the following water treatment units:

Scale Reduction System

Bakery systems provide scale prevention and chlorine corrosion control for bakery equipment. An extremely effective and low-cost solution to scale and chlorine corrosion problems, ScaleStick™ contains NSF-approved HydroBlend™ technology, so it can be used on both potable and non-potable water. ScaleStick™ cartridges fit any standard 10" or 20" filter housing. The clear housing of the cartridge lets you monitor the need for product change at a glance.

Reverse Osmosis System - Low-Flow Baking Equipment

Water-fed, low-flow foodservice equipment such as steamers, proofers, rack and deck ovens are especially prone to the damages of mineral scale buildup. The Hobart RO 150 can remove up to 98% of the dissolved minerals that cause mineral scale buildup due to chlorine. The RO 150 includes HydroBlend™ technology to ensure the highest level of protection for your equipment.

Compact & High-Volume Water Softeners

Hard water is especially damaging on booster heaters, dish machines, steamers, proofers, combination ovens, and rack and deck ovens.

Any water-fed equipment that requires high temperatures creates a "scale-friendly" environment. High temperatures cause the hard minerals in water to demulsify, creating solid scale depositors. Scale acts as an insulator, potentially causing heating elements to fail or clogging of water lines starving equipment of needed water.

Hobart twin-tank, non-electric water softeners are available in both compact and enterprise-wide models. By virtually eliminating the scale buildup caused by the calcium and magnesium in hard water, Hobart water softeners increase both the life and efficency of your equipment.
