(BRK.A), (BRK.B)

Berkshire Hathaway’s Marmon Water Technologies has announced the creation of Marmon Water Foodservice.

The new business will sell its Finity brand of filtration products to foodservice operators ranging from restaurateurs to hotel chefs, foodservice equipment OEMs, and beverage brand owners.

“Impurities in the water supply can lead not only to health issues, but also adverse effects on the taste of food and beverages and even the life of foodservice equipment,” comments Jeff Holcomb, who is President of Marmon Water Foodservice. “Our Finity products provide an easy and cost-effective way for foodservice operators to make their water as clean and as pure as possible.”

Finity uses proprietary water filtration technology to provide the best possible quality. “Patented FACT media technology allows for top-of-the-line filtration with minimal pressure drop,” explains Ric Knasel, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “We’re talking 0.2-micron filtration for protection against bacteria and cysts.” In key applications such as post mix dispensing, Finity Advanced Chloramines reduction products are certified to perform at up to three times the capacity of competitor products at comparable flow rate and footprint.

The systems are available with a sensor and Wi-Fi monitor to alert the owner when a new filter should be installed. Maintenance is simple, too. The Finity system comes with an easy-to-access push bar used to release filter cartridges that are color coded by application to ensure proper replacement. The Finity product line has achieved NSF Standards 42 and 53 and is available for purchase through authorized resellers.
