HOW TO TEST COMMERCIAL DRINKING WATER
If you manage a business, you likely keep a preventative maintenance checklist for your locations. Structural integrity—check. Equipment inspections—check. Fire systems work— check. Inventory—check, check, check. But what about testing your water quality? Everpure from Pentair Water Solutions recommends testing water at least once a year to ensure optimal quality in changing conditions.
WHY COMMERCIAL WATER TESTING MATTERS IN FOODSERVICE
What’s Flowing Through Your Tap? Whether running a restaurant, a convenience store, a coffee shop, or managing a school kitchen, understanding what’s in your water can help your business in more ways than one.
- Water filtration equipment for foodservice lifespan. Factors like hardness, chemical contaminants, and sediment can wear down equipment like coffee brewers, ice machines and steamers, which could lead to more frequent repairs, replacements, and costly downtime.
- Customer experience. Contaminants like chlorine or organic materials in water can alter the flavor profile of your prepared food and beverages. Take coffee, for instance. Algae may add earthy notes, while heavy metals may leave a metallic taste —not the jolt your customers are probably looking for.
