Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Walled Garden Bistro in Canterbury was constantly replacing its glass water carafes after they were chipped or broken in their popular courtyard area. They needed a safer, more durable alternative that still looked professional for their table settings.
"The weekly cost of replacing our glass jugs was getting silly, not to mention the safety hazard. We switched to the Kristallon polycarbonate jugs six months ago and haven't looked back. They look great, our team finds them easier to handle, and we haven't had a single breakage since. It's a simple change that has made a big difference."
Michael Davies – Restaurant Manager
The bistro completely eliminated costs associated with broken jugs and improved service efficiency by reducing cleanup time and safety risks.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the jug a good wash in warm, soapy water or run it through your glasswasher before its first use.
- If you've ordered the compatible J906 lid, simply check it fits snugly on top.
- When stacking for storage, try not to cram them together to minimise surface scuffs over time.
Keeping It Going
- This jug is fully commercial glasswasher safe for fast and effective cleaning.
- To maintain its crystal-clear look, avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals.
- Rinse after serving colourful drinks like blackcurrant squash or cranberry juice to prevent any potential for long-term staining.
- It's incredibly tough, but give it a quick check now and then for any deep gouges that could harbour bacteria.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this polycarbonate jug really 'unbreakable'?
A: It's made from highly shatter-resistant polycarbonate, so while you could probably break it if you really tried, it will not shatter like glass from everyday drops and knocks in a busy kitchen.
Q: Can I put it in my commercial glasswasher?
A: Absolutely. It's specifically designed to be glasswasher safe for quick, hygienic cleaning in a professional environment.
Q: Will it stain if I use it for juice or squash?
A: Polycarbonate has excellent stain resistance. For best results, simply rinse the jug after serving strongly pigmented drinks to keep it looking crystal clear.
Q: What is the exact capacity in millilitres?
A: The total capacity is 0.9 litres, which is 900ml or around 30 fluid ounces.
Q: Does the jug come with a lid?
A: No, the lid is sold separately (product code J906). This allows you to buy only what you need.
Q: How heavy is it compared to a glass jug of the same size?
A: It's significantly lighter. At only 160g, it's easy for staff to carry several at once without strain, unlike heavy glass alternatives.
Q: Does the plastic affect the taste of the water?
A: No, food-grade polycarbonate is non-porous and inert, meaning it will not impart any taste or odour to the contents.
Q: Is the plastic BPA-free?
A: This is a food-safe product from a trusted catering brand. For specific material composition details like BPA status, it is always best to refer to the manufacturer's official documentation.

Explore more from OlympiaMore Than Just Plastic: The Polycarbonate Advantage
When you see 'polycarbonate', don't just think of any old plastic. Think of it as the superhero of the plastics world. It's the same ultra-strong, transparent material used to make things like motorcycle helmet visors and safety goggles – items where failing is not an option. Unlike standard acrylic that can become brittle and crack, or cheap plastics that cloud up after a few washes, a commercial polycarbonate water jug is engineered for toughness and clarity. It gives you the visual appeal and elegance of glass, but with the confidence that an accidental knock won't result in a dangerous mess and another item on the re-order list.
Who Should Buy This?
- Pubs & Bars: Perfect for serving water or Pimm's in the beer garden without worrying about broken glass.
- Schools & Care Homes: A safe, lightweight, and durable hydration solution that's easy for everyone to handle.
- Event Caterers: An essential, stackable, and shatterproof jug for serving drinks at weddings, festivals, and corporate functions.
- Busy Cafés & Restaurants: The ideal table water jug that withstands constant use and endless cycles through the glasswasher.
