Hot Water Urns in hospitality businesses

Hot Water Urns are a popular item in hospitality businesses An hot water urn is popular appliance that dispenses water at boiling or near boiling temperatures. They are used extensively throughout the hospitality industry and in many other industries as well.

Operation

Position the hot water urn where you plan to serve the hot drinks. Fill it with water and after connecting the unit to a power source turn it on. Once the water reaches the desired temperature, adjust the thermostat to maintain the water temperature. When a hot beverage is required, and regardless of whether it is self service or operated by an employee, by simply pressing the handle which allows the hot water to flow out of the spout and into the drinking vessel. On releasing the handle the valve closes and hot water stops flowing. Sometimes the washer in the spout sticks and a constant drip might ensue. To fix this, just jiggle or rotate the tap to reseat the washer and then the drip should stop.

What to look for

The best units these days have the following features: • A double skinned tank construction for safe side temperatures, less than 50°C. • Concealed elements allowing easy cleaning inside the urn and little calcification inside the unit.
