Does Your Hot Water Need a Boost?

For those of us who usually try to keep ourselves out of hot water, it’s starting to sound like a good idea after last week’s big chill! Frigid weather notwithstanding, having hot enough water in our kitchens has become more important than ever to protect our staff and patrons from dangerous pathogens. 

Commercial water heaters top out at an average of 130°F to prevent scalding, which is a good thing, but ware washing is another story. According to NSF, water temperatures of 180°F are needed to effectively clean and destroy bacteria and harmful microorganisms that can end up on dirty dishes, utensils, and other kitchen wares.

Many high temperature dishwashers don’t have the power to bridge that critical 50+ degree gap. Does yours? If it doesn’t, a booster water heater might be the most cost-effective way to ensure your wares are fully sanitized by your ware washing process.

Hatco dishwasher water heater boosters connect with any dishwasher (low or high temp) to provide the 180°F final rinse water for all sanitizing needs. In addition to sanitizing, a Hatco booster heater also provides the valuable, time-saving benefits of effective removal of food residue and rapid self-drying for sparkling clean, spot-free wares. Available in 18 different sizes to satisfy water consumption requirements, Hatco water heater boosters supply appropriate amounts of high temperature hot water for nearly any make, model, or size of dish machine.

Hatco satisfied the needs to effectively sanitize dishware by inventing, designing, and manufacturing the industry’s first ever booster water heater about 70 years ago, which soon after became the industry standard. In other words, you can trust Hatco for the safety, performance, and reliability you need. Hatco stands behind their product with an excellent booster heater warranty of one year on parts and labor, 10 years on the tank, and lifetime on the jacket.
