In the restaurant business, water filters are really, really, really important. Whenever you make water very very cold, like in ice machines, or you make it very very hot, like in steamers, you are doing a process called distilling water. And what that means is, we’re separating the minerals from the water, from the water itself. And what happens is, in the case of an ice machine or a steamer, those minerals attach themselves to the metal in your machine. In the case of your ice machine, it makes your ice machine incredibly dirty. In the case of your steamer, they clog up and build up inside that steamer. So, we don’t want this to happen.

You can eliminate this in one of two ways. One way is to have a water filter on both of those machines. And you want to change it every single six months. And you don’t want a cheap filter for an expensive machine.

But I did figure it out, and I found out that the building had a water softener. If you want to save a ton of money, and I don’t even do this, I don’t make any money on this, get a water softener for your building. That will eliminate a lot of the minerals. You put a water softener in your building and you put a water filter on your system, and we’ll probably never have to clean that machine.
