THE WORKING VIEW

Why this commercial glasswasher earns its place

The DC SG45 IS is the SG45 with water hardness solved. If your venue is in a hard-water area—anywhere in the UK Midlands, South East, or anywhere limestone soil is common—you know the problem: glasses come out spotted, streaked, dull. You can fight it with chemical rinse aids, but it's never perfect, it costs money, and customers notice.

The integral water softener removes the problem at source. Hard water ions get stripped before they reach the wash chamber, so rinse water is genuinely soft. That means:

Glassware actually sparkles—no spots, no film, no clouding even under bar lighting. Lower chemical costs: you're not fighting water chemistry with extra rinse aid. Quieter, simpler operation: no separate softener tank to manage, no resin cartridges to buy and install separately. The softener regenerates automatically during the machine's cycle, so it's invisible to your staff.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Questions, answered straight

Water enters the machine and passes through a resin chamber that swaps calcium and magnesium ions (the hardness) for sodium. Soft water exits to the wash chamber. The resin regenerates automatically during the wash cycle, using a small amount of salt (brine). You just keep the salt hopper topped up—usually every few weeks depending on water hardness and volume.

Typical consumption is 5–15 kg per month for a busy venue. Salt is cheap (a few quid a bag), and you buy it locally—no special ordering.

Once a month, check and top up the salt hopper. That's it. No cartridge swaps, no separate tank to clean. Your Craven Cooling service technician will check the softener during annual servicing and can test your water hardness if needed.

The softener is harmless in soft water—it just doesn't work hard. If your area is naturally soft (South West, Scotland, Wales), the SG45 standard gravity-drain model is fine and saves you a few quid upfront.

No—the integral softener is built into the cabinet and plumbing. If you later discover hard water is a problem, you'd switch to a softened model on your next purchase.
