Post Mix Soft Drink Water Filters
Post Mix Soft Drinks are 87% water
The right filtration solution from Everpure can consistently deliver that “right out of the bottle” taste, fizz and appeal your customers expect. A fountain drink is typically five parts water to one part syrup (frozen carbonated beverage ratios vary), so around 87% water, and most are served with ice. Since ice is 100% water, that ratio only increases as ice melts in your beverage. Those numbers illustrate just how critical a role clean, high quality water plays in the final taste and smell of a fountain beverage. (And what many do not know is that water quality also affects the performance of delivery and dispensing systems, the balance of water to syrup and the quality of the carbonation).
Water contaminants are the most likely reason for off-tastes and odors in a fountain drink. Municipalities use chlorine or chloramines to disinfect central water supplies and those chemicals oxidize and break down sugars in water. Those reactions produce a range of different compounds that can negatively influence the taste of a beverage, and byproducts that can actually amplify a chlorine or ammonia-like taste. In addition, because free chlorine is a gas, it will dissipate along with the carbonation after a drink is poured, creating a “swimming pool” smell.
Foodservice operations may resort to adjusting the brix ratio to mask these off-taste and odour concerns which only increases syrup costs – an expensive fix which directly impacts profit.

Water Specifications for Soft Drink
Turbidity describes the particles in the water such as dirt, silt and sand. The aim is to achieve crystal clear water for soft drink to aid in carbonation retention and taste. It is recommended that water for soft drink does not exceed a level of 0.5 NTU turbidity. To achieve this, we recommend a filter rated at 0.5 microns. Additionally a filter rated at this level will protect against waterbourne cysts such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia.
Municipalities use chlorine or chloramines to disinfect central water supplies and those chemicals oxidize and break down sugars in water. Those reactions produce a range of different compounds that can negatively influence the taste of a beverage, and byproducts that can actually amplify a chlorine or ammonia-like taste. In addition, because free chlorine is a gas, it will dissipate along with the carbonation after a drink is poured, creating a “swimming pool” smell in the beverage.
Chlorine levels for soft-drink should be less than 0.05ppm. Alkalinity, or Carbonate hardness levels should be below 150ppm. The Total Hardness should be <100ppm. This is basically everything that is dissolved in the water (Hardness, Chloride etc.). Suggested levels for soft-drink is <500ppm. It is recommended that the pH be between 6.5 – 8.5 Chloride levels should not be above 250ppm
