Classeq C400WS Dishwasher with Integrated Water Softener 13A 3Ph

The Classeq C400WS is a compact undercounter dishwasher designed for commercial use, built in the UK and fitted with an integrated water softener as standard on this variant. It accepts a 400x400mm rack and is capable of washing up to 40 racks per hour, making it a practical choice for kitchens that need consistent, reliable throughput without the footprint of a larger pass-through machine.

In service, the C400WS performs well under the steady demand typical of cafés, small restaurants, hotel bars, and workplace catering operations. The rinse booster pump supports clean, spot-free results even during back-to-back cycles, and the choice of three wash programmes — light, standard, and intensive — gives operators the flexibility to match cycle intensity to the load. Recovery between cycles is well suited to continuous service periods rather than occasional use.

Several practical details make the C400WS straightforward to operate and maintain day to day:

• Click-in, click-out wash arms speed up cleaning and reduce the risk of blockages going unnoticed
• Double-skinned construction keeps noise levels low — useful in open or semi-open kitchen environments
• Bluetooth connectivity and a companion app allow staff to access user guides, adjust settings, and monitor performance from a phone without calling an engineer
• The integrated water softener protects internal components and wash quality in medium to hard water areas, removing the need for a separate inline softener unit
• Moulded interior surfaces simplify end-of-day cleaning and reduce residue build-up

Installation requires a Three Phase 13A supply, along with a cold water inlet and a suitable drain connection. The machine's compact footprint makes it viable under a standard counter, but access for servicing and adequate ventilation around the unit should be factored in before positioning is finalised. The integrated softener will require periodic salt replenishment — the frequency depending on local water hardness and wash volume.

The C400WS is well suited to smaller commercial operations running one to two service sittings per day, where a pass-through glasswasher or dishwasher would be oversized. If your site runs continuous service across a full day or handles particularly high covers, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity machine would be a better long-term fit. Equally, for very low-volume operations, a simpler model without the integrated softener may represent better value.
