Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the best dishwasher type for a medium-sized restaurant?

For medium-sized restaurants, a hood-type or pass-through dishwasher is often the best balance. It offers fast cycles, a small footprint and good throughput for steady service.

How much water do commercial dishwashers use compared to manual washing?

Modern commercial dishwashers typically use less water per plate than manual washing. Efficient machines are designed to circulate and filter wash water, and many models use less water per cycle while maintaining higher hygiene standards.

Do I need a pre-rinse sink spray unit if I have a dishwasher?

Yes. Pre-rinse sprays remove food residues before the wash cycle. This reduces detergent use and prevents blockages in filters and spray arms. It also improves final results.

We recommend a professional service every six months. High-volume sites may need more frequent checks. Regular servicing prevents downtime and keeps machines compliant with hygiene regulations.
