Waikiki Hotel: Dishwasher Water Spots Cut in 60 Days

Home 9 Case Studies and Results 9 Waikiki Hotel: Dishwasher Water Spots Cut in 60 Days
Key results
Noticeable scale drop in 60 days
Far fewer water spots
Better dishwasher performance

Case Study from HydroFLOW USA

The Challenge

  • Dishwasher water spotting was affecting dishes and particularly glassware
  • Scale accumulated across internal dishwasher surfaces
  • Build-up could reduce heat-transfer efficiency
  • The hotel wanted a measurable reduction rather than a one-off clean
  • Inspections needed to run long enough to show a trend

Hotel dishwasher wall before and after HydroFLOW, visible limescale spotting reduced at a Waikiki hotel, Honolulu

The Solution

One HydroFLOW® S38 was fitted to the three-quarter inch galvanised pump line between the filter heater and the dishwasher, with follow-up inspections across approximately six months. A noticeable limescale reduction was recorded within 60 days, later inspections showed less visible scale on the monitored surfaces, and water spotting on dishes and glassware fell significantly.

Key Outcomes

R

Noticeable limescale reduction recorded within 60 days

R

Later inspections showed reduced visible limescale on monitored surfaces

R

Water spotting on dishes and glassware significantly reduced

R

The field conclusion reported improved dishwasher performance as scale reduced

Independent Verification

All results in this study were measured and verified by third-party facilities managers and technical staff.

Summary

Limescale fell noticeably within 60 days, and water spotting on dishes and glassware dropped significantly. Spotted glassware is the scale problem guests actually see. An S38 on a single kitchen line is the smallest installation in the hotel set, and the 60 day result is the one to quote to a food and beverage manager.
