Why a Booster Heater Is Essential for NSF Sanitation
High-temperature dishwashers rely on a 180°F final rinse to sanitize china and flatware. Incoming water lines rarely reach that benchmark on their own. A booster heater elevates supply water to the required temperature, ensuring every cycle meets health-code standards without slowing rack throughput.

- Energy efficiency - Insulated tanks and low-water cutoffs minimize standby losses and protect elements.
- Fast recovery - 3-45 kW elements heat up to 540 GPH, keeping pace with door-type, rack or conveyor machines.
- Space savings - Compact footprints fit under dishtables or beside commercial dishwashers without costly remodels.
- Plug-and-play retrofits - Pre-wired contactors and NPT connections speed installation on existing lines.
- Reduced chemical cost - High-temp sanitation eliminates ongoing expenses for chlorine sanitizer tabs.
