Water treatment & filters
Water treatment and filtration equipment protects your commercial kitchen operations and extends equipment life. From sediment filters to reverse osmosis systems, our range removes chlorine, limescale, particles and contaminants that damage espresso machines, steamers, ice makers and dishwashers.
Whether you need replacement cartridges, softeners or complete treatment systems, you'll find commercial-grade solutions sized for kitchens, cafés and hospitality venues across Ireland and the EU.
Water treatment and filtration systems for commercial kitchens, protecting equipment and ensuring water quality. Range from compact filters (€79.95–€362.85) to full reverse osmosis units (€6,888) and water softeners. Essential for espresso machines, ice makers, steam equipment and dishwashers.
Choosing the right water treatment depends on your local water hardness, equipment sensitivity and volume demands. Hard water causes limescale buildup; untreated water reduces machine efficiency and increases maintenance costs. Softeners remove minerals; filters remove sediment and chlorine; reverse osmosis provides the highest purity for specialist equipment.
Consider your incoming water quality, flow rate requirements and cartridge replacement frequency when selecting a system. Regular filter changes and maintenance schedules keep equipment performing reliably and protect your warranty.
- Water hardness level in your area (ask your supplier or test locally)
- Equipment types connected (espresso machines, steamers, ice makers all have different needs)
- Flow rate and daily water volume used
- Filter cartridge availability and replacement costs
- Space for installation and ease of servicing
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Common questions
What's the difference between a filter and a water softener?▾
Filters remove sediment, chlorine and contaminants; softeners reduce mineral content (hardness). You may need both depending on your local water and equipment type.
Will a filter starter set work with my existing equipment line?▾
Starter sets are universal connectors. Confirm your equipment's inlet diameter and hose thread type before ordering.
What's the capacity difference between the 8-litre and 12-litre softeners?▾
The 12-litre Combisteel (€184.50) treats more water before regeneration than the 8-litre (€159.90). Choose based on daily water volume and equipment count.
Is reverse osmosis worth the investment for a busy café?▾
Reverse osmosis (€6,888) produces ultra-pure water for espresso and specialty drinks, preventing scale and extending equipment life. Cost-effective for high-volume speciality operations.
Do these filters require professional installation?▾
Hose sets and compact filters fit standard commercial connectors; most kitchen staff can install them. Reverse osmosis systems may require plumbing assessment.
How often do I need to replace filter cartridges?▾
Replacement frequency depends on water quality and usage. The product range includes spare cartridges; check your local water hardness and equipment manual for intervals.
