Expert Review and  Insights

The Blizzard STORM50BTDP is a cracking example of a no-nonsense warewasher. It packs in the two features I always tell people to look for – a break tank and  a drain pump – which are often costly extras on other models. It’s robust, straightforward, and  clearly built for the daily grind of a commercial kitchen. A solid, dependable choice.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pros: The all-in-one design with pump and  tank is brilliant value.
  • Cons: Requires a 30-amp hardwired supply, so check your electrics first.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Bistro in Whitby needed to upgrade its ageing warewasher, which was struggling to cope with the influx of summer tourists and  causing delays during service.

"Our old machine was on its last legs. The Blizzard STORM50BTDP was installed and  the difference was night and  day. It’s quick, quiet, and  the dishes have never been cleaner. Staff are happier and  service is much slicker."

Robert Miller – Owner, The Harbour View Bistro

The new dishwasher helped them reduce crockery turnaround times by over 25%, allowing them to serve more customers during their busiest periods.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the machine is on a stable, level surface before connecting any services.
  • This unit requires a 30-amp hardwired electrical connection; this must be installed by a qualified electrician.
  • Connect the clean water inlet and  ensure the waste hose for the drain pump is securely fitted.
  • Before the first use, prime the detergent and  rinse aid lines by running a few empty cycles.

Keeping It Going

  • At the end of each day, remove, empty, and  clean the internal filters to prevent blockages.
  • Wipe down the inside of the door and  the seals to stop any grime from building up.
  • Regularly check the levels of your detergent and  rinse aid to ensure the best cleaning results.
  • Depending on your water hardness, schedule a regular descale to keep the heating elements efficient.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Dishwasher

Not sure which warewasher is the perfect fit for your business? Here are a few key things to consider.

Placement is Everything

Do you have a floor drain nearby? If not, a model with a drain pump is a must-have, as it can push wastewater up and  away to a sink drain.

Understand Water Regulations

A break tank is vital for meeting UK water regulations (WRAS) in most commercial settings, protecting the mains supply from contamination.

Consider Your Throughput

Think about your busiest hour. Match the machine’s cycle times and  capacity to the number of racks you need to wash to avoid service bottlenecks.

Water Hardness Matters

Hard water can cause limescale build-up, reducing efficiency. If you're in a hard water area, an external water softener is a wise investment.

Check Your Power

Machines come in 13-amp (plugs in) or single/3-phase (hardwired) versions. Ensure your kitchen’s electricity supply can handle the model you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a break tank and  do I really need one?

A: A break tank prevents contaminated water from flowing back into the mains supply. It is a legal requirement for most commercial food businesses in the UK to ensure water safety.

Q: Why would I need a drain pump on my dishwasher?

A: A drain pump is essential if your waste outlet (like a sink) is higher than the machine's drain. It actively pumps the wastewater out, giving you much more flexibility on where you can install it.

Q: What kind of power supply does the Blizzard STORM50BTDP need?

A: It requires a 30-amp hardwired connection. You will need a qualified electrician to install this for you.

Q: How long are the wash cycles?

A: This model offers three cycle options: a quick 90-second cycle, a standard 120-second cycle, and  an intensive 180-second cycle for tougher jobs.

Q: Does this dishwasher add its own detergent and  rinse aid?

A: Yes, it features automatic dosing pumps for both detergent and  rinse aid, ensuring a perfect amount is used in every wash for consistent, sparkling results.

Q: What is the maximum height of glass or plate that will fit?

A: The machine has a usable entry height of 320mm, suitable for most dinner plates and  pint glasses.

Q: Is this model noisy to run?

A: It's designed with a double-skinned door, which provides insulation that significantly reduces operational noise, making for a more comfortable kitchen environment.

Q: Does it come with wash baskets?

A: Yes, commercial dishwashers like this typically come supplied with one plate basket and  one cutlery container to get you started.

Why a Break Tank Isn't Just an Extra, It's Essential

Ever wondered what a 'break tank' actually does? Think of it as a one-way security guard for your water supply. A commercial dishwasher with break tank has a small, internal water tank with an air gap that separates the dishwasher's water from the mains water supply. This physically stops any dirty water, loaded with food waste and  chemicals, from ever being siphoned back into the clean drinking water system if there's a drop in pressure. In many parts of the UK, it’s a legal requirement (WRAS Category 5 compliance) for commercial premises. So, it's not just a feature; it's your guarantee of safety, compliance, and  complete peace of mind.
