The ScaleGard LP2-BL Dual Port Reverse Osmosis System from 3M purifies mains water and is a non-electric system, with filtration driven by incoming water pressure. According to 3M, as a result, the system delivers high reliability with low ownership costs and immunity to power outage.
Unlike a conventional ion-exchange resin filter, which becomes less effective in reducing water hardness as the filter ages, RO filtering can provide consistent mineral reduced water throughout its lifetime. The RO filtered water can be recombined with a controlled quantity of mains water to produce dependable recipe quality water for beverage and catering businesses.
The unit provides a mineral-free water supply for direct use in flash steamers, which prevents limescale build-up and improves energy efficiency. For coffee making, the ScaleGard L2P-BL system provides a second RO-filtered supply, which is recombined with a controlled quantity of mains water to maintain a consistent mineral composition. This water is then passed through a 3M cyst-rated filter to deliver softened, particle-free water.
At filter end of life, the RO membrane and carbon cartridges can each be replaced easily by in-house staff with no spill and no mess, the company says.
The ScaleGard LP2-BL Dual Port Reverse Osmosis System also saves water, improving wastewater costs when compared to traditional RO systems.
