SFES PRO SYSTEMS



Proper water filtration & treatment DECREASES operating costs and INCREASES customer satisfaction

The SFES PRO systems offering is based on technologies that are not only proven effective in food service applications but also are economical and easy to maintain.

In water-fed food service equipment, 95% of water treatment is targeted towards chlorine/chloramine removal, mineral scale control, and corrosion control. Although SFES PRO products have the ability to address most any water treatment situation, the emphasis of the product offering is mineral scale control.


SFES PRO Systems will provide effective water filtration

Corrosion Control

Corrosion in water-fed foodservice equipment may be caused by various water factors. Corrosion is also specific to certain types of equipment. For example, chloramine in the water supply will not pose a corrosion threat to a coffee machine, but will be cause for concern for a flash steam combi oven.

Chlorides, either naturally occurring in coastal and desert areas or from salting of the roadways for melting snow will also pose serious corrosion issues to certain types of equipment, especially flash steam equipment like boiler-less combi ovens.

Chlorine Removal

The removal of chlorine from water supplies is accomplished with the use of activated carbon filters. Available in various forms, activated carbon effectively removes 95+ % of chlorine from water supplies. Most water filter products incorporate some form of activated carbon filtration with excellent chlorine removal capacities and flow rates.

Chloramine Removal

Like chlorine, chloramine reduces the quality of beverages and also poses corrosion challenges to certain types of food service equipment like flash steamers. The removal of chloramine from water supplies is similar to chlorine removal. Activated carbon is still the main technology used with much longer contact times required to remove chloramine which means slower flow rates or larger filters.

Mineral Scale Control

Unlike chlorine removal, controlling mineral scale deposits is a far more challenging proposition. Various methods have been used attempting to control mineral scale with varying success. Our technology for controlling mineral scale deposits centers around the effective and economical chemical treatment (HydroBlend) using advanced scale control compounds specically formulated to work in hot water equipment.

SFES PRO SYSTEMS

TO SYSTEMS

The TO filter systems utilize standard carbon block technology that removes sediment and chlorine from the water supply improving the taste of the drinking water, soda, and juice beverages.

TOS SYSTEMS

The TOS filter systems provide chlorine removal with scale control utilizing standard carbon block technology that removes sediment and chlorine from the water supply improving the taste of the water and reducing possible chlorine related corrosion issues.

TOF SYSTEMS

The TOF filter systems utilizes a special filter that removes both sediment and chlorine but has a higher sediment loading capacity and reduced chlorine removal capacity. This is a premium product that is mostly used where the standard TO filter plugs prematurely from excess sediment in the water supply or where lower pressure drop is important for equipment operation.

TOSF SYSTEMS

The TOSF filter systems utilizes a special filter that removes both sediment and chlorine with scale control but has a higher sediment loading capacity and reduced chlorine removal capacity. This is a premium product that is mostly used where the standard TOS filter plugs prematurely from excess sediment in the water supply or where lower pressure drop is important for equipment operation.

TOC SYSTEMS

The TOC filter systems utilize a catalytic carbon block technology that removes sediment, chlorine and chloramine from the water supply improving the taste of the drinking water, soda, and juice beverages.

SD SYSTEMS

The SD filter systems provide sediment filtration utilizing a premium high grade polypropylene 5 micron melt blown filter. This is specifically used as a pre-filtration system.

SDS SYSTEMS

The SDS filter system provide sediment filtration & scale control utilizing a premium high grade polypropylene 5 micron melt blown filter. The sediment filter allows for chlorine to pass through the system helping control bacterial growth inside the ice machines where this is an issue.

SERIES SYSTEMS

The Series filter systems provide sediment filtration, chlorine removal and mineral scale control. This system has its heads manifolded together in a Series configuration that allows water to pass from one filter to the next. By request, Series systems are available with TOF and TOC filters.

COMBO SYSTEMS

The Combo filter systems provide sediment filtration, chlorine removal and mineral scale control. These systems provide two chlorine-free water outlets in one system. One with scale control and one without. The Combo System can be utilized for all water-fed equipment needs in one system. Ideal for whole store filtration. By request, Combo systems are available with TOF and TOC filters.

HEAD CONFIGURATIONS

SFES PRO filter systems utilize a modular head design allowing them to be a stand alone single filter or manifolded together. If multiple heads are manifolded together, they can be connected in a Standard (parallel), Series, Combo or Prefilter configuration.

SFES PRO  filter systems also allow for multiple Inlet & Outlet positions. Stand Alone and Parallel systems can have the Inlet & Outlet connections on the same side while every configurations can have the water flowing from either direction. All systems are provided with the directional flow of left to right.

STANDARD

Standard Single & Parallel Configuration : In Parallel Systems, multiple heads are connected together using union connectors. This allows water to pass through multiple filters at the same time, increasing flow rates and capacities. The Standard configuration is the most common setup for a single and manifolded head system. 

OPTIONAL

Optional Configuration: Standard and Parallel systems have the option to place the Inlet & Outlet connections on the same side.

SERIES

Series Configuration: Water passes from one filter or a set of filters to the next with the use of a union plug.

COMBO

Combo Configuration: A combination of the series and parallel configuration where two outlets are incorporated so that one out can feed with scale control and the other without.  

PREFILTER

Prefilter Configuration:  Heads can be manifolded together in a manner so that the first filter in the series can be used as a prefilter eliminating the traditional style prefilter canister

ORDERING GUIDELINES

PART NUMBERS

When ordering SFES PRO Systems, you will need to identify which head and filter(s) are needed as these are not offered as complete systems. For example; If a TOS-16 Triple System is desired, you must order (1) Triple Head and (3) of the same desired filters. On standard twin, triple, and quad manifolds, the same cartridges must be used as these systems are run in a parallel configuration.

Series & Combo Systems are the exception to the above ordering guidelines. These particular systems are ordered as complete to include both the manifold & filters.

Single Heads are offered in a variety of different fitting connections all of which are as follows.

3/8”: MPT, FPT, John Guest QD

1/2": MPT

Twin, Triple & Quad Heads come standard with 1/2” MPT fittings unless otherwise specified.

All Systems are provided in a standard configuration with a directional flow from left to right with the exception of the Series and Combo Systems. 

Cross Kits (Pressure Gauge/Drain Valve Assembly) & Flush Valves can also be ordered separately if desire.

MANIFOLD COMPONENTS

SFES PRO Filter Systems utilize a modular design offering multiple removable connection fittings of various sizes anchored by removable clips. This design also incorporates union connectors to connect single heads into twin, triple, and quad manifolds. This offers great flexibility as heads can be added to existing systems for pre-filtration or post filtration needs and different sized fittings can be used on the inlet and outlet connections depending on the application.
