Deliming Instructions for Kleensteam SRX Scale Inhibitor Feeder.

     In addition to reducing harmful chlorine and controlling limescale build-up, the KleenSteam system may be used to conveniently introduce deliming material into the steamer without disturbing existing piping. Use only Everpure ScaleKleen deliming material. ScaleKleen is a highly effective, safe and environmentally friendly de-scaling product. Its routine maintenance usage removes built-up scale in steam equipment easily and quickly. This enhances steamer performance, reduces operating costs and helps prevent costly repairs and unexpected downtime. Other deliming products may contain harsh acids that can damage the housing materials or clog orifices. Generally, use one 2.2 lb (1 kg) package to delime most countertop units and two 2.2 lb packages to delime most boiler-based units. Deliming Instructions: 1)      Turn off the power switch on the steamer. 2)      Blow down steamer. Blow down is done automatically on some steamers when power is turned off. Manually blow down the steamer if it is not automatic. 3)      Turn off inlet water to Kleensteam system. 4)      Depress the red relief button located on top of the SR-X head to relieve system pressure. 5)      Unscrew the clear bowl and remove the cartridge. Dispose of the exhausted cartridge in normal trash and empty bowl of any remaining water. 6)      Remove the dip tube from its holding clip, located on the back plate. Insert the tube. O-ring first, into the center port of the SR-X head until the dip tube bottoms out. 7)      Open one kilogram (2.2 lb) package of ScaleKleen™ and empty it into the clear bowl. Wipe off any excess ScaleKleen™ material which may be on the bowl threads or O-ring. 8)      Thread the bowl back into the head- hand tight only. NOTE: The dip tube may become packed with ScaleKleen- This is normal and will not affect the deliming procedure. 9)      Turn on the inlet water to the KleenSteam unit by rotating the inlet valve handle. 10)  Turn on the power to the steamer. NOTE: This action will quickly introduce the ScaleKleen™ material directly into the boiler chamber. If you are deliming a countertop steamer, proceed to step 11. If you are deliming a boiler-base unit, monitor ScaleKleen™ level in bowl. When it drops to 1″, quickly turn off inlet water at valve handle. Now relieve pressure and unscrew bowl from head. Add another kilogram of ScaleKleen™ to the bowl and reintroduce the material into the boiler. Repeat this procedure until two (2) 2.2 lb packages of ScaleKleen™ have been introduced into the boiler chamber. 11)  With ScaleKleen™ material introduced into the boiler chamber and the inlet water turned on, make sure the boiler sump is flooded. Allow the steamer (countertop or boiler-based) to come up to operating temperature and pressure, and hold for one hour. 12)  Thirty minutes into the deliming procedure, turn on steam to cooking chamber(s) for one minute. This will delime the distribution lines, small orifices, and steam solenoid valves. 13)  After one hour of deliming the steamer at operating temperature and pressure, turn the steamer power switch to the off position. 14)  Manually blow down the steamer if it is not done automatically when the power is turned off. NOTE: Check the pH of the blow down water. If the pH is acidic (below 7.0), then the boiler has been completely descaled. If the pH is alkaline (above 7.0), then there is still scale remaining in the boiler. Repeat steps 7 through 14 until the pH from the boiler blow down water is below 7.0. 15)  Fill the boiler with fresh, clean water and repeat blow down until the water in the boiler is equal to the raw (incoming) water pH. This will remove any unused ScaleKleen and undissolved loose scale remaining in the boiler. NOTE: Depending on the steam generator fill probe configuration on your steamer, de-scaling compounds may leave residual foam bridging probe electrodes. This can cause a false water level indication leading to “dry firing” of the boiler that can burn out heating elements. To help ensure against incorrect probe operation, follow all of the instructions provided for de-scaling. This includes adding an additional 1 to 1 and 1⁄2 gallons of water to the de-scaling port(s) once automatic filling has stopped after the de-scaler drain cycle. This raises the water level above the fill probes, permitting them to be flushed clean and drained with the following drain cycle. 16)  After the second blow down, turn the steamer power switch to the off position, and turn off the inlet water at the valve handle on the KleenSteam unit. 17)  Relieve system pressure by depressing the red relief button on the head until all air is expelled and water begins to escape. 18)  Unscrew the clear bowl and remove the dip tube from the head. BE SURE TO REPLACE THE DIP TUBE IN IT’S HOLDER ON THE BACKPLATE!. 19)  Install a new SS-10 cartridge into the head, and screw the bowl back into the head. Hand tighten only! 20)  Turn on the inlet water. Relieve trapped air in the clear bowl by depressing the red relief button on the SR-X head until all air is expelled and water starts to escape. 21)  Turn the steamer power switch to the on position. Steamer is now ready to be placed back into service. Replacement Parts

NEW 2SR-BW SCALE INHIBITOR CARTRIDGE

Our foodservice customers are starting to see an increase in their daily volume of water usage. The volume of water for consumer demand is growing rapidly each year. Concerns for store operators:

  • How to keep the high volume food service equipment running at peak optimizing performance
  • How to keep the lime-scale build up down 
  • How to filter the increased volume of water 

Everpure manufactured filtration equipment for those concerns. They have developed systems that not only require less maintenance, making the components last longer, but also work to improve high volume flow rates that keep up with the customer demand. The new Everpure SC (EV943742) is Pentair’s new high flow filtration platform unit designed for high volume foodservice operators. There is also the Endurance High Flow System (EV943732). This system can meet your peak water demands today and tomorrow, up to 200,000 gallon capacity and no electricity or drain required. We recommend the 2SR-BW as a conditioning cartridge for either system or as a standalone cartridge. This would be attached to the system for lime-scale prevention. This cartridge has been developed because of the changing times in the foodservice industry. It contains a special media which helps to reduce the lime-scaling tendency of hard water minerals that are found in many water supplies. The scale inhibitor cartridge makeup is effective for up to 15 grains of hardness per gallon of water. Just to give you an idea of its efficiency it has the equivalent of up to 20 of the SS-10 Scale-stick inserts. There are two different kits that can be purchased or you can just get the cartridge alone (EV962714). The first one is the General Purpose Kit (EV979875) which can be used with any Everpure High Flow, High Output Filtration System. This kit would be mounted separate from the system. It is used to reduce scale in ice machines and coffee brewers. The second kit is the Endurance Feeder Kit (EV979870) – which is to be used with the Everpure Endurance High Flow System. This kit is mounted directly to the Endurance System. For more information on how we can help you with your high volume needs or on this cartridge or others like it please call us at 800-942-7873.

Everpure ScaleKleen Ice Machine Sanitizing Instructions

Even though ice machines ensure the daily delivery of a clean food product in millions of foodservice facilities around the world, too often they are left out of a business’s preventive maintenance plans. Developing and sticking to a consistent cleaning process for your ice machine not only helps guarantee your customers a clean food product time and time again, but it also enables you to reap the most from your investment for many years to come.

Your ice machine should be emptied and thoroughly sanitized at a  minimum every six months and Filter Pure recommends Pentair Everpure ScaleKleen, the smart, environmentally safe way to delime your water-using appliances. It removes limescale buildup and scale quickly and easily. It’s FDA approved to be used around food grade material, it is completely non-toxic and is safe to pour down the drain after use.

SCALEKLEEN INSTRUCTIONS FOR ICE MACHINES;

1. Turn off the ice machine, and drain the sump. 2.  Mix one 7-ounce packet of ScaleKleen in one quart of hot water and pour the solution into the ice machine sump. 3.  Allow the sump to fill so that the pump is not starved of water. NOTE: Do not turn on, the “REFRIGERATE” cycle. ScaleKleen works most effectively when mixed with hot water. The colder the water; the longer it takes to dissolve the scale. 4.  Turn the switch to the “PUMP” mode and allow water to recirculate with ScaleKleen for 20 minutes. 5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 if scale deposits are still visible. 6.  Drain and rinse the sump thoroughly with clean water to remove any remaining traces of ScaleKleen. 7.  Check the pH of the water in the sump. If it is within one pH unit of the influent tap water; then the ScaleKleen has been sufficiently rinsed out. (NOTE: an inexpensive pH test kit is available from your Everpure dealer). 8.  Turn the ice machine on to the “ICE” mode and place it back in service Cleaning times and frequencies can vary depending on the water quality and conditions of where the unit is installed. (Special care must be taken when bread or foods containing yeast are being prepared in the vicinity of the ice machine, since yeast-type bacteria could impact the machine’s operation.) Typical between-clean times average 30, 60, or 90 days (consult the user’s manual) to ensure the unit runs at its highest operating efficiency — the ultimate goal of any preventive maintenance program. By taking the time to clean your machine and change the filters you can greatly increase the life of your machine and drastically decrease the cost of owning an ice machine over time.
