The Lincat FilterFlow Sets the Standard Once Again
07:37The Lincat FilterFlow EB3F has set the benchmark for quality water boilers ever since its launch in 2008. Offering instant piping hot water, filtered and with reduced limescale build-up, it set the industry standard for self-service use in offices and canteens everywhere. However the machine is suddenly no longer available and the first question is why.
The simple answer is that it has been improved and re-released.
Introducing the Lincat EB3FX water boiler, fitted with the most up-to-date
FilterFlow technology for exceptional performance. As part of an entirely
revised FilterFlow range, this machine is the most advanced water boiler
available to date and better still, it is offered at the same price as the
previous model.
So what does this new model do better? Firstly it offers the same
output and power but from a smaller
footprint. With the boiler measuring 250mm wide, this saves on valuable
counter space wherever you place it.
Secondly it’s easier to use. The new range is fitted with a touch screen control panel for quick
navigation which also feeds information regarding maintenance issues. This
means you’ll never be caught short when the machine needs a clean or a new
water filter. The boiler can also be locked
with a PIN code if restricted access is needed, helping decrease the chance
of possible accidents through untrained staff or customers using the machine.
This security feature would be particularly useful in care homes where elderly
residents could risk accidental injury.
Economy is also important to any business. The EB3FX features a new
economy mode that lowers output and saves on running costs during quieter
periods, which can be programmed to fit your business hours. Even better, this
can be switched to a predictive eco
setting that learns your busy and quiet hours by monitoring output. This
ensures you have enough water when you really need it whilst saving you money
when you don’t.
Lastly the machine is easier to
maintain. The new screw-top helps you monitor any internal scaling and
avoids you having to take the whole machine apart to check. When descaling is
required, the touch-screen display provides step-by-step instructions to get
your unit in prime condition again. Should your water boiler be unfortunate
enough to break down, an on-screen
diagnostic display will help you get the machine running again in minimal
time.
The old EB3F was a hard machine to beat but with these new
improvements, the FX range is looking to be even better.
