Commercial Water Filtration System

Your restaurant’s grand opening is just around the corner. You’ll finally have your own place in one of the best locations in town. You can hardly believe it. The cooking staff is getting settled in the kitchen and double-checking the equipment, food supply, and menu. You can make last-minute adjustments based on their findings, but everything seems to be in order so far.

You feel like you’ve been running on fumes for days, so you grab a cup of coffee from the kitchen. The beans you bought are top-notch. This should be good. The aroma hits your nostrils, and your taste buds leap at the opportunity to taste it. You take a slow sip and let the coffee sit on your tongue for a second. Instantly you know something is very wrong. Are the beans bad? Did they get burned rather than roasted? You can’t serve coffee like this. It’ll ruin your restaurant before it even gets off the ground.

You grab a glass of water to wash it down and nearly choke. Yuck! The water. The problem is the water. You need better water and fast.

Bad Water is Bad for Business

High-quality water is essential for many Texas businesses, including restaurants, hospitals, hotels, car washes, and schools. Hard water minerals, heavy metal contamination, and strange tastes and smells are not just unappealing and unhealthy. In the business world, they can ruin the customer experience, hurting your reputation and your bottom line. If left untreated, your water can put you out of business.

Alamo Water Softeners has over 15 years of experience installing and maintaining commercial water filtration systems in Central Texas. We understand how vital clean water is to your customers and your business. Our commercial water treatment professionals can help determine why your water tastes, smells, looks, or feels off and install a system to remove unwanted contaminants, leaving you with the crisp, clean, refreshing water you need to thrive.

The Hard Facts

Water in Texas can come from a variety of sources, including wells and local treatment plants. And while both will provide water to your business, the quality will vary. For example, the water pumped from wells across the state comes from deep underground water reserves. It travels through soil rocks before reaching the well and, in the process, picks up many different substances.

Well water will likely contain minerals, sediment, heavy metals, pesticides, and other chemicals. Untreated, this water will leave hard water spots on your fixtures, may smell unusual, and pose a health risk to your customers.

Because city or municipal water treatment plants take some responsibility for water treatment and safety, they can boost your water quality. Water from these sources may be filtered. It may also have chlorine added to eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses. Also, localities regularly test their water quality to ensure it meets EPA standards. Unfortunately, that does not guarantee it meets yours.

Even low levels of some contaminants are noticeable. And the chlorine that makes this water safer to drink can leave your water with a chemical taste or smell. It’s probably not exactly what you had in mind for your upscale restaurant.

To get the water quality you want, you may have to take matters into your own hands. That’s where Alamo Water Softeners can help. Commercial water treatment is just one of our specialties. Whether you are plagued by hard water, chemicals, or some unknown smelly substance, we can help. We’ll send an expert water treatment expert to your business to test the water and root out the culprit. Alamo offers a wide range of water treatment solutions capable of treating the large volume of water your company uses every day.

Commercial Water Treatment

At Alamo, we believe in finding the right solution to the problem. Yes, you may need a commercial water treatment system if your water contains multiple types of contaminants.

However, if hard water is the main problem, a commercial water softener could be the ticket. Whether your problem is chemicals, minerals, or both, the contaminants in your water can wreak havoc on your business investments, costing you time, money, and customers. In some industries, fixing the problem is vital.

Hospitality

Nothing welcomes visitors to your establishment better than a sparkling clean bathroom.

It’s hard to keep hotel bathrooms clean if your cleaning staff is constantly fighting with hard water deposits. Bathrooms will take longer to clean and look dirty much sooner if you have hard water. Switching to soft water enables you to provide the clean facilities customers expect with less work. It can even lower the amount you spend on cleaning supplies.

Food Service

Your secret recipes are your key to attracting customers and earning repeat business.

How about a little chlorine in that chicken noodle soup or boiling that pasta in rusty water? You don’t want these additions to your dishes and neither do your customers. And forget about hiring a top-tier chef if you can’t supply top-tier ingredients, including clean water. A restaurant water filtration system can give you pure water allowing all of your beverages and entrees to shine, from scotch on the rocks to the lobster mac n cheese. No more not-so-secret ingredients.

Car Washes

The vehicle goes in dusty and it comes out spotted–not a great business model for any car wash. While you could offer a free hand dry with every wash to try to keep the hard water spots at bay, the additional work would mean hiring more staff.

Instead, let Alamo install a system to remove the hard water minerals from your water. Every car can come out of the wash clean and spot-free.

Hospitals

Many hospital patients are there because their health is compromised. The last thing they need is exposure to microbes, chemicals, or other contaminants in their water. Even if they aren’t drinking it, hospital staff regularly use the water at the facility for handwashing, cleaning, and food preparation. Patients also use it for bathing and showering. Commercial water filtration systems are vital to ensuring that water in hospitals is part of the solution and doesn’t create further problems for patients or staff.

If your business struggles because of the contaminants in your water, give Alamo Water Softeners a call. Whether you want the spot-free, easy-cleaning benefits of soft water or desire better-tasting, fragrance-free water for cooking, we can find the best solution for your business. And when you partner with an Alamo water expert, you partner with a company that will support you and your company’s water needs now and in the future.

How Alamo Improves Commercial Water Quality

Make it Soft

If you do business in Central Texas, your company probably receives hard water. While this water is fine for thirsty landscaping and even indoor office plants, it is not the best option for most other uses. Why? Because the minerals it contains start causing problems the minute they enter the building.

Hard water doesn’t look any different from its soft water cousin, but the latter is a much better business partner. What you can’t see in the hard water pouring from your faucets are the calcium and magnesium. They are invisible as long as they are dissolved in water. When the water evaporates, it leaves mineral deposits behind. You see them as white spots wherever there used to be water.

You can scrub away these spots with vinegar or other cleaners. But as long as you have hard water, they will keep coming back. Hard water spots are unsightly, making it look like you haven’t cleaned in a while.

The bigger problem, though, is that these same minerals are also building up where you can’t see them. Pipes, fixtures, appliances, and anywhere else your water goes, it takes the minerals along for the ride. Over time, these deposits can lead to expensive plumbing problems and equipment replacements.

Installing a commercial water softener system halts the damage in its tracks. Water softeners remove calcium and magnesium from your water. No more minerals means no more damage, and less cleaning to keep your building looking spotless.

If you ask Google for names of “commercial water softener companies near me,” you are bound to find a few. But if you ask Alamo Water Softeners to improve the commercial water quality for your business, you will get a thorough solution for all your water problems, including those troublesome hard water minerals.

We want you and your customers to love your water. Hard or contaminated water shouldn’t stand between you and your business’s growth and success. Let us remove the water-born barriers to achieving your goals.

Make it Clean

If water is central to your business, removing the minerals may not be enough to bring it up to par. For companies who need the best quality water, a commercial water filtration system is the answer. Designed to filter high volumes for commercial spaces, these systems can remove nearly all types of contaminants from your water. Depending on the specific contaminants we find in your water, we can recommend a combination of filters to give you the best results.

Particulate Filters – Your water may not look dirty even though it carries small amounts of sediment. Luckily, filters can easily trap and remove these particles, leaving your water cleaner than before.
Carbon Filters – Filters embedded with carbon remove a variety of substances. They attract chemicals like chlorine, pesticides, and heavy metals like lead and arsenic. Activated carbon is an excellent component of many filtration systems.
Reverse Osmosis – Also available for residential water filtration, reverse osmosis (RO) uses a semi-permeable filter to indiscriminately remove almost everything from your water (except the H2O, of course). This type of system forces the water through small holes in a specialized RO filter to give you pure water. RO systems are a particularly great way to filter drinking water and are often used alongside other types of filtration.
Ultraviolet – If sanitizing your water is a concern, ultraviolet or UV light is perfect. UV light kills germs, bacteria, viruses, and other biologic contaminants that could make your customers sick. No boiling needed to ensure your water is safe to drink.

At Alamo, we know that customer satisfaction is critical. Let us help you find the best commercial water filtration system and softener combination for your business. You should have water that will make your customers happy and help your business shine. Great water can be the key to growing your business and customer base. Call us to find out how we can help.
