Summary
Aldevra offers free water testing and Everpure® filtration systems to help commercial kitchens protect their equipment, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure consistent food and beverage quality. Learn which types of equipment are most affected by water quality and what every foodservice director should consider when choosing a filtration system.
Why Water Quality Matters
Water runs through nearly every major piece of foodservice equipment—yet it’s one of the most overlooked maintenance factors in a commercial kitchen. Even when your water looks and tastes fine, it may contain minerals, chlorine, or sediments that can shorten equipment life and impact the quality of your food and beverages.
Untreated or poorly filtered water can lead to:
- Scale buildup on heating elements and steam generators, reducing efficiency and causing premature failure
- Corrosion of internal components in expensive equipment
- Sediment and chlorine that alter taste, odor, and appearance of beverages and ice
- Clogged lines or jets, which increase maintenance needs and downtime
Equipment That Needs Water Filtration the Most
Some equipment is particularly vulnerable to poor water quality. If you manage a commercial kitchen, pay special attention to these systems:
- Ice Machines – Mineral deposits and slime can ruin ice clarity, flavor, and machine efficiency. Proper filtration prevents scale and bacterial growth.
- Steamers and Combi Ovens – Scale buildup can damage heating elements, reduce steam quality, and increase energy use. Filtration extends component life and ensures consistent cooking results.
- Coffee and Espresso Machines – Chlorine and sediment alter taste and aroma. Everpure® filters help preserve flavor while preventing costly service calls.
- Dishwashers and Warewashers – Hard water leads to spotting, film, and reduced sanitizer effectiveness. Filtration keeps dishes cleaner and equipment performing at its best.
- Carbonated Beverage Dispensers – Off-tastes and odor from untreated water can ruin the customer experience. Proper filtration maintains product consistency and brand reputation.

- Local Water Conditions: Hardness, chlorine levels, and sediment vary greatly by region—testing is essential.
- Maintenance Schedule: Regular cartridge replacement ensures peak performance and compliance with manufacturer warranties.
- Cost of Downtime: Repairs and unplanned service calls can quickly exceed the cost of proper filtration.
