Choosing the Best Commercial Booster Heater

Reviewing temperature rise, tank capacity, voltage, and fuel type can help you choose a Hatco booster heater that fits your dishwasher:

• Determining Required Temperature Rise – Measure your building's hot water supply during peak use. Subtract that temperature from 180 degrees Fahrenheit to determine whether you need a 40-degree- or 70-degree-rise booster heater.

• Castone® Tank Lining – Hatco's Castone lining helps protect tanks from minerals, scale, and corrosion, supporting longer service life in commercial warewashing applications.

• Kilowatt, Voltage, and Phase Requirements – Electric booster heaters must match the building's electrical system, including wattage, voltage, and phase requirements.

• Insulation & Thermal Efficiency – Hatco booster heaters are insulated to help retain heat, reduce standby energy loss, and support consistent rinse water temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a high-temp commercial dishwasher need a Hatco booster heater?

High-temp commercial dishwashers must reach a final rinse temperature of at least 180 degrees Fahrenheit for hot water sanitizing. A Hatco booster heater raises incoming hot water to the proper temperature before it reaches the dishmachine rinse system.

What is Hatco's Castone tank lining?

Castone is a protective tank lining used in many Hatco booster heaters to help resist mineral buildup, scale, and corrosion in commercial kitchen water systems.

Can a Hatco booster heater be mounted off the floor?

Some Hatco compact electric booster heaters can be installed with slide-mount brackets to help save floor space beneath dish tables or near commercial dishmachines. Always follow product specifications and use a qualified installer.
