The city network does not always supply water that can go straight into a premium hotel room. The pipes themselves become a source of rust, solids and bacteria. Yellow or cloudy tap water and a chlorine smell undo the service, whatever the interiors look like.
International hotel chains rely on their own standards and European drinking-water guidance. The higher the property grade, the stricter the rules on clarity, odour and microbiology throughout the internal network.
The hotel restaurant needs a separate quality for cooking, coffee, ice and dishwashing — reviews, occupancy and profit depend on it. For the bar and kitchen BWT makes the water+more line: filters for coffee machines, ice makers and professional dishwashers.
Treatment stages for hotels
A typical polishing scheme for hotels and adjoining business areas has five stages. The set changes after the raw-water analysis and the client’s requirements.
- Pre-filtration — automatic-wash strainers that start when the screen loads up. In Europe such filters are mandatory on municipal inlets: protection from sand, corrosion products and debris from supply-pipe repairs.
- Clarifying sorption — multimedia with coconut activated carbon, automatic backwash. Removal of solids and free chlorine, better colour, odour and taste.
- Softening — ion-exchange resin in automatic mode. Removes hardness salts that destroy heaters. Softened water is needed for the kitchen, drinks and clear ice, and does not dry the skin.
- Fine cartridge filtration — for elite hotels and restaurants where even the smallest solids are unacceptable. The water is absolutely clear.
- UV disinfection — no chemicals and no carcinogenic chlorination by-products, no overdose risk. An economical way to protect against bacteria and viruses, including Legionella.
Tailored solutions for hotels and restaurants
The scheme is adjusted to the raw water, flow and property grade. BWT is the European leader in water-treatment equipment: more than 40 companies across Europe.
BWT Kazakhstan sizes the plant, designs, supplies, installs and services sites across Kazakhstan. On hotel sites of the BWT group, plants supply guests, staff and restaurants.
