THE WORKING VIEW

Why this commercial glasswasher earns its place

The SXD45 IS (Integral Softener) is the choice for venues in hard-water regions—anywhere the kettle furs up, your boiler and spray arms will too. The integral softener is factory-fitted, working continuously to soften incoming water before it touches the wash chamber, boiler or spray jets. This is protection built in, not bolted on.

What does that give you? Spotless glasses, wash after wash. No cloudy film, no limescale building up inside the cabinet, no spray arms getting choked. The insulated boiler stays clean and efficient, meaning you keep your 3-minute cycle times even after months of service. The peristaltic auto-dosing system still does the chemical metering—it's just doing it in softened water, so every drop of rinse aid performs properly.

The gravity drain keeps installation simple: just a waste line, no pump dependency. Three baskets per cycle maintain your washing rhythm through service, and the low-water spec stays true—you're saving on water, detergent and the cost of the softener salt (which you'll refresh regularly, but at a fraction of the repair bill you'd face without it). Programmable features let you tune the machine to your kitchen, and the diagnostic mode keeps maintenance straightforward.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Questions, answered straight

That depends on your water hardness and how many wash cycles you run. Typically, salt cartridges last between 2–4 weeks in a busy venue. A full basket wash uses softened water, not cartridge water, so the softener is efficient. We can advise on your actual usage when you call 01792

Ask your local water company—they provide hardness figures for your postcode. Anything above 200 ppm (parts per million) benefits from a softener. If you're borderline, the softener is cheap insurance against boiler scaling.

No—the SXD45 IS uses gravity drain, which is simpler and cheaper than a pump. If your waste line runs below the machine outlet, you're fine. If you need forced drainage, ask about the SXD45 IS D variant, which adds a drain pump.

Actually, no—softened water means your detergent and rinse aid perform better, so you're not wasting product compensating for hard-water interference. You'll spend money on softener salt, but the return on chemicals and boiler life usually makes it worthwhile.

The integral softener is factory-fitted and not field-removable. But if you move to a soft-water area, you can simply switch it off via the controls—it's not wasting salt or capacity if it's idle.
