Coffee / Tea Applications
Coffee is 98.7% water. Not only will yours taste better and be safer to drink with Pentair Everpure® water treatment solutions, your coffee equipment will also be protected from corrosion and scale buildup.
Good coffee and tea can be a real draw for customers. But if the taste and odor of the water going in to each cup isn’t right, it won’t matter what premium coffee beans or tea leaves you’ve used. For example:
Chlorine can alter both aroma and taste. It oxidizes aromatics and oils, increases acidity, and creates byproducts that can cause an “earthy or moldy” tone to the flavor.
Total dissolved solids (TDS) can cause poor extraction of the coffee grounds. Under-extraction leads to weak and sour drinks, while over-extraction leads to bitterness.
High hardness causes excessive oils to be released, leaving an “oil slick” on the surface of the beverage.
If you are experiencing scaling or corrosion, your brewing equipment will require more maintenance, may break down or, over time, may fail altogether. Also, scale on elements can increase the energy required to run equipment by 40% or more.
Pentair Everpure filtration solutions put you in control of your water recipe, and reduce scale damage and corrosion to brewing equipment for:
Consistent, premium water quality for better-tasting coffee and tea.
Lower downtime, equipment maintenance and replacement costs.
Energy cost savings.
Satisfied customers and increased profits.

Drinking Water Applications
A glass of water is often the first impression in a dining experience.
Today's consumers are more concerned than ever about the quality of water, whether at home or away. Will they have confidence in the water you serve them? Not if the drinking water you serve is cloudy, has an off-taste or unexpected odor.
Pentair Everpure® filtration solutions improves drinking water quality by:
Reducing chlorine, chloramines and other unwanted chemicals that can affect the taste and odor of water.
Reducing cysts and other potentially harmful contaminants.
Reducing particulates that cause cloudy water.
Let us help you deliver a virtually unlimited supply of clean, crisp, refreshing water for your customers to drink. And for those who like it cold, our filtration systems help produce ice that’s just as clean and clear.
Espresso Applications
Espresso is 85-96% water. Making a good espresso is an art form, but premium filtered water from Pentair Everpure is a great start toward creating the perfect cup.
Brewing a perfect espresso beverage requires proper management of a number of variables, including the grind of the bean, the dosing, the temperature of the water, the brewing pressure, the tamp pressure, the extraction time and the mineral content of the water – and, of course, the blend and roasting of the beans, the quality of the espresso machine and the skill of the barista.
We can help you with the ingredient water component which, unfiltered and out of a tap, is a complex solution of chemicals, organics and minerals, with ranging pH and alkalinity characteristics. Poor quality water can impact espresso beverages in a number of ways:
Scale can cause poor pre-infusion and channeling through the puck, leading to under-extraction and thus a weak drink.
Reduced pressure due to scale buildup can lead to little or no crema.
Chlorine can alter both aroma and taste. It oxidizes aromatics and oils, increasing a beverage’s acidity.
Total dissolved solids (TDS) can cause poor extraction. Under-extraction leads to weak and sour drinks, while over-extraction leads to bitterness.
If you are experiencing scaling or corrosion of your espresso equipment, poor quality water is the likely culprit. One which increases downtime risk and maintenance costs, but also negatively impacts your ability to produce quality espressos.
Scale on machine components can lower operating temperature and limit flow, causing poor extraction and reduced steam for frothing.
Chlorides can attack metals, especially stainless steel, forming “rust” on surfaces and causing holes that can lead to leaks and loss of pressure.
Corrosion can damage copper boilers.
Pentair Everpure filtration solutions provide consistently clean water while retaining the perfect amount of mineral content for espresso applications, and protect your equipment investment by reducing scale damage and corrosion for:
Premium water quality so that every espresso cup produced tastes great
Lower downtime, equipment maintenance and replacement costs.
Loyal, repeat customers and increased profitability.
Fountain Applications
Fountain beverages are 87% water. The right filtration solution from Pentair Everpure® can consistently deliver that “right out of the bottle” taste, fizz and appeal your customers expect.
A fountain drink is typically five parts water to one part syrup (frozen carbonated beverage ratios vary), so around 87% water, and most are served with ice. Since ice is 100% water, that ratio only increases as ice melts in your beverage. Those numbers illustrate just how critical a role clean, high quality water plays in the final taste and smell of a fountain beverage. (And what many do not know is that water quality also affects the performance of delivery and dispensing systems, the balance of water to syrup and the quality of the carbonation).
Water contaminants are the most likely reason for off-tastes and odors in a fountain drink. Municipalities use chlorine or chloramines to disinfect central water supplies and those chemicals oxidize and break down sugars in water. Those reactions produce a range of different compounds that can negatively influence the taste of a beverage, and byproducts that can actually amplify a chlorine or ammonia-like taste. In addition, because free chlorine is a gas, it will dissipate along with the carbonation after a drink is poured, creating a “swimming pool” smell.
Other fountain beverage taste and odor problems caused by water contaminants include:
High total dissolved solids (TDS) can cause weak carbonation and lead to “soft” ice which melts quickly.
Organics such as the algae, molds and bacteria that naturally live in lake and river water sources can cause an “earthy” or “moldy” taste and odor, plus impact beverage color.
Tannins caused by decaying organic matter in surface water will often give beverages a yellowish tint; this is especially noticeable in clear lemon-lime drinks and iced teas.
"Rotten egg smell” that originates from hydrogen sulfide in water which is produced by bacteria in deep wells and in stagnant, low use water mains.
Foodservice operations may resort to adjusting the brix ratio to mask these off-taste and odor concerns which only increases syrup costs – an expensive fix which directly impacts profit.
Pentair Everpure filtration solutions help protect your fountain beverage revenue stream by helping deliver:
Consistent, high quality, affordable fountain beverages.
Lower equipment downtime, maintenance and replacement costs.
Satisfied customers.
Increased profits.
Ice Applications
Ice is 100% water and 70% of service calls are water-related.
Good quality ice has a sparkle to it and when you serve a refreshing glass of ice water, you want it to look clean and crystal clear. Pentair Everpure® filtration solutions remove particulates that result in cloudy, “soft” ice, as well as reduce other contaminants that improve taste and odor. In addition, our water treatment systems control scale buildup in ice making equipment to maintain peak operating efficiency and extend working life.
Whether you’re using a cube, flaker or nugget style ice machine, Pentair Everpure filtration solutions deliver the high quality water you need to produce clean, clear ice for customers while protecting an expensive equipment investment by addressing challenges such as:
Hard water can lead to cloudy, misshapen ice and “mushy”, fast-melting ice.
High iron content can promote slime buildup inside machine and bin, which is not only unappealing but can also cause corrosion.
Scale buildup can cause reduced ice production, longer harvesting cycles or complete machine “freeze up”.
Dirt, sediment and scale can cause valves to stick which may result in continuously leaking water, bridging of cubes, or preventing ice production altogether.
Scale on the water-cooled condenser coil can increase water usage.
Metal corrosion due to chlorine and chlorides in water.
Mineral solids, dirt and sediment can be abrasive, causing premature component wear.
Our filtration systems also help reduce water and electricity usage related to ice production.
No fountain drink is complete without ice and the growing popularity of iced coffees, sweetened iced teas and more makes today’s demand for ice higher than ever. Let Pentair Everpure filtration solutions help you:
Keep ice machines running at peak efficiency.
Prevent downtime – and lost revenue – while lowering operating costs.
Conserve energy and capture utility savings.
Promote satisfied, loyal customers for increased profit.
Ice Tea Applications
Iced tea is 98% water. Produce clear, refreshing, iced tea beverages – every time – with a Pentair Everpure® water treatment solution, and protect your brewing equipment investment at the same time.
Foodservice iced tea sales have been rising steadily in recent years, with many customers choosing it as a great-tasting, healthy alternative to soft drinks. What could be more healthy and refreshing than iced tea made with fresh, clean, filtered water from Pentair Everpure? Our premium quality filtered water addresses taste and aesthetic concerns around:
Hardness that can lead to cloudy iced tea. Minerals in the water prevent tannins from dissolving properly, which can darken the beverage and leave an “oil slick” on the tea’s surface.
Chlorine which can alter both aroma and taste. It oxidizes aromatics and oils and increases acidity.
TDS can cause poor solids extraction. Over-extraction of flavonoids and tannins cause bitterness and leave a “film” on top of the tea. Under-extraction leads to weak color and flavor.
Scale buildup in equipment can cause improper brewing temperatures. Too high and tea can taste burnt and bitter. Too low and complex flavors disappear.
Pentair Everpure filtration solutions put you in control of your iced tea water recipe, and reduce scale damage and corrosion to brewing equipment for:
Consistent, premium water quality for great-tasting iced tea.
Lower downtime, equipment maintenance and replacement costs.
Energy cost savings of up to 40%.
Satisfied customers.
Increased profitability.
Steam Applications
Steam is 100% water. Let Pentair Everpure® help you protect your equipment investment by reducing damaging scale buildup and corrosion.
Steam cooking is an important means for foodservice operators to meet the needs of today’s health-conscious consumers. Also, steam equipment is viewed by staff as easy to use, and chefs appreciate the cooking flexibility and productivity benefits these units afford.
Continuous availability of high quality water is critical to optimal steam equipment operation. If your area’s water is hard, contains chemicals or other contaminants of any significant level, they can coat and corrode the steaming components. Scale buildup and possible chemical carryover can deteriorate steamer performance, negatively impact food quality, and result in premature steamer component failures.
Regardless of whether you use boilerless or boiler-based steam equipment, when water is converted to steam, contaminants are left behind that can cause scale and corrosion. Chorine and chlorides can destroy stainless steel probes and prematurely corrode cabinet racks and surfaces.
In addition, for boilerless applications:
Scale on spritzer tubes can reduce performance: lowers steam production, increases risk of overheating water injection solenoid and excessive browning of food.
Scale buildup makes equipment take longer to heat up: wastes energy, results in longer cooking cycles, and increases risk of failure due to over-firing of heat exchangers.
Stuck floats and valves lead to under-filling which could unexpectedly trip the safety and shutdown the unit altogether.
In boiler applications:
Scale in the boiler can cause stress fractures and leaks. Boilers are expensive to replace and, in most cases, are not carried “standard” in servicing dealer inventory. Also, equipment must be moved to replace the boiler which can dislodge flakes of scale into components, potentially causing entirely new problems.
Scale causes probes to have false readings which, when low, will keep the unit from heating and, if high, could detect a false overheated condition, unnecessarily shutting down the unit.
Equipment delimings are expensive and labor-intensive.
The bottom line is that it’s crucial for steam equipment to have clean water, and that’s where Pentair Everpure filtration solutions come in. We offer a range of system options to help:
Remove chlorine and minerals that cause serious problems such as abrasion, clogging and corrosion.
Improve operational efficiency and reduce the risk of equipment breakdown.
Allow for fewer delimings.
Lower energy and maintenance costs.
Extend the life of your equipment investment.
Warewashing Applications
Scaling is not just damaging to warewashing equipment, it also wastes energy and produces unsightly spotting on glasses, dishes and flatware.
Poor source water quality negatively impacts your warewashing equipment in a number of ways:
Scale increases energy usage - as little as 1/8” buildup can cost you hundreds of dollars annually.
Scale can damage heating elements in booster water heaters.
Particles can etch glassware over time.
Scale can clog orifices, reducing flow and causes gaps in cleaning
Corrosion from chlorine and chlorides attacks metals, resulting in surface rust and premature parts disintegration.
Pentair Everpure filtration solutions inhibit or reduce limescale buildup, help prevent corrosion, and allow for easy deliming. The result is equipment that cleans more effectively, runs more smoothly, and lasts longer.
Water Line Management Applications
Expanding operator beverage menus mean more equipment than ever is being used in foodservice operations today. New equipment and an increasing number of beverage lines creates challenges for service dealers in that both also mean more water lines to manage, and additional time required to identifying and trace those lines during service.
In restaurants these days, it is not uncommon to find:
New beverage lines tangled with old lines.
Poor or no identification of lines.
No shut-off valves on lines.
Hard-plumbed lines with little or no flexibility.
This can lead to:
Time needlessly spent trying to identify lines and trace them back to the equipment.
More time spent on a project than required or desired, leading to increased cost if it can’t be billed back to the operator.
Pentair makes water line management easier for you with its Everpure® SimpliFlow® System.
Cleans up unsightly mess of tangled water lines, organizing both front-and back-of-house operations for improved appearance and maintenance efficiency.
Offers quick line shut-off in case of unexpected equipment or line leaks.
Reduces mistakes and spend less time spent identifying and tracing lines, plus easily shut lines off for servicing.
Efficient water line serviceability reduces total equipment downtime during servicing.
Easily modify system to meet changing plumbing requirements.
Flexible and expansion-capable; easily add new beverage equipment in the future using your existing system.
Minimal footprint and a variety of configurations available to meet your specific needs.
Water Pressure Management
As foodservice establishments expand their beverage offerings, the increased water usage can adversely impact operational performance. This, coupled with fluctuating city water flow and pressure, can lead to inconsistent drink quality, poor beverage dispenser performance and premature exhaustion of water filter cartridges.
Pentair Shurflo offers a wide range of water pressure management systems. Our Water Boost Systems elevates the pressure up to 90 psi and stores the water under pressure in an accumulator tank. This ensures that there is enough pressurized water for all beverage system components during peak operating hours when the water pressure in the restaurant is likely to fluctuate. Our pump and accumulator tank systems maintain adequate, consistent water pressure to one or more dispensing valves, and are NSF, UL and CSA listed.
Water Pressure Reducing Valves (WPRV) are devices that are set to specific psi levels, with pressure ranges from 30 to 80 psi. The WPRV should be installed as close as possible to the inlet of the carbonator pump and dispenser.
Water filtration systems have minimum water pressure requirements. Keep in mind that if water pressure is too low, filters will plug prematurely because particulates collect only on the surface of the carbon and will essentially “cake” itself, instead of penetrating deep into the cartridge. It’s important to always put a carbon water filtration system after the water boost to help keep:
• High water pressure flowing to the filter system, which extends the life of the cartridges.
• Chlorine in the bladder of the water boost to prevent growth of algae and bacteria.
Add a Pentair Shurflo Water Pressure Management System to boost your beverage equipment’s performance and optimize your ability to serve consistent, high quality beverages. Our water pressure management solutions are proven, reliable performers even in the most challenging foodservice environment, and are available in a wide range of configurations to fit multiple applications.

It’s important to always put a carbon water filtration system after the water boost to help keep:
• High water pressure flowing to the filter system, which extends the life of the cartridges.
• Chlorine in the bladder of the water boost to prevent growth of algae and bacteria.

Water impacts customer satisfaction.
Your customer’s first and last impression of your operation is often the beverage you serve them. If the taste and odor of your fountain beverages and coffee, or the appearance of your iced tea or drinking water is not as it should be – it will be noticed.
Water impacts your profits.
Water travels with a lot of unwanted chemicals, sediment and dissolved minerals that can affect equipment performance and operating life. Corrosion, abrasion, clogging, scale, plus water and energy waste can be reduced or eliminated with proper water treatment.
