Charlotte Rayner – Commercial Cleaning Expert View Profile →

  • Top Tier Performance: Exceptional at preventing water spots and  limescale on all tableware.
  • Storage Space: The 10-litre container is heavy and  requires dedicated, safe storage.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour Lights Hotel in Torquay was struggling with persistent limescale on their glassware due to the very hard local water supply. Their existing rinse aid wasn't coping, forcing staff to spend hours polishing glasses by hand before service, which was inefficient and  led to breakages.

"Switching to the Winterhalter B2S was a revelation. Our glasses now come out of the washer looking like new – sparkling and  completely clear. It's saved us an incredible amount of time and  our glassware has never looked better."

Robert Davies – Operations Manager

The hotel completely eliminated hand-polishing, saving approximately 5 hours of staff labour per week and  reducing glass breakages by over 30%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Position the 10L container in a safe, upright position close to your warewasher.
  • Carefully place the machine's red rinse aid intake hose into the container, ensuring the filter on the end reaches the bottom.
  • Check your dishwasher's control panel to ensure it is set to automatically dose rinse aid.
  • Run a couple of empty test cycles to ensure the fluid is being drawn through correctly.

Keeping It Going

  • Always store the container with the cap securely fastened in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Periodically check the intake hose for any kinks or blockages to ensure a consistent flow.
  • Keep an eye on the fluid level and  make sure you have a replacement container ready to avoid running out mid-service.
  • Never mix with other chemicals, especially detergents, in the same container.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Warewasher Chemical

Not sure which chemical is right for your setup? Here are a few things to consider to get that perfect clean.

Check Your Water Hardness

If you're in a hard water area (most of the UK is!), an acidic rinse aid like the B2S is essential to prevent limescale spots.

Consider What You're Washing

Need perfect beer glasses? Look for a rinse aid that promises beer head stability. For general use, a universal product is ideal.

Auto-Dosing is Key

Professional chemicals are designed for machines with automatic dosing pumps. Ensure your machine is set up for this for best results.

Evaluate Your Space

Large 10L or 20L containers offer great value but require dedicated storage. Check you have a safe, suitable place to keep them.

Think Cost-Per-Wash

A concentrated formula might have a higher upfront cost, but it's often far more economical per wash cycle than cheaper, diluted alternatives.

A: Absolutely. This product is specifically designed as an acidic rinse aid to counteract mineral deposits from hard water, making it perfect for preventing limescale and  water spots.

Q: What does 'assures beer head stability' actually mean?

A: It means the rinse aid leaves no residue on the glass that could cause the carbonation (the head) on a pint of beer or lager to collapse prematurely.

Q: Can I use this in my glasswasher as well as my main dishwasher?

A: Yes, it's a universal product designed for use in all commercial warewashers, including both undercounter and  pass-through dishwashers and  glasswashers.

A: This is a rinse additive, not a detergent. You must use it in conjunction with a separate commercial dishwasher detergent for the main wash cycle.

Q: How long will a 10-litre container last?

A: This depends entirely on your machine's dosage settings and  how frequently you use it. However, being a concentrated professional formula, it is very economical.

Why an Acidic Formula is a Hard Water Hero

Ever wondered why you get those chalky white spots on glasses, even after they've been through a powerful dishwasher? That's limescale, caused by mineral deposits (calcium and  magnesium) found in hard water. As water evaporates during the drying cycle, these minerals get left behind. A standard rinse aid helps water run off, but an acidic one does something smarter.

Think of it like using vinegar to descale your kettle at home. The Winterhalter B2S acidic rinse aid for dishwashers works on the same principle. Its acidic properties neutralise the alkaline mineral deposits in the final rinse water, preventing them from ever clinging to your tableware in the first place. The result? Water sheets off cleanly, leaving nothing behind but a brilliant, spot-free shine. It’s a simple bit of chemistry that makes a huge difference to your daily operations.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Pubs and  Bars: Guarantees pristine, taint-free pint glasses that maintain a stable beer head, crucial for serving the perfect pint.
