Classeq C400WS Glasswasher with Integrated Water Softener 13A

The Classeq C400WS is an undercounter glasswasher designed for commercial bars, pubs, and hospitality kitchens where reliable, consistent glass cleaning is a core operational requirement. It accepts a 400x400mm basket and is manufactured in the UK by one of the most established names in commercial warewashing. The integrated water softener is built into the unit rather than added as a separate inline device, making this a self-contained installation that addresses hard water challenges without additional plumbing work.

In service, the C400WS is capable of washing up to 40 racks per hour, which translates to a throughput of around 640 pint glasses per hour under normal operating conditions. For a busy bar during peak service, this level of output is generally sufficient for small to mid-sized venues. The rinse booster pump supports consistent wash quality throughout a shift, and the moulded interior with double-skinned construction helps keep noise levels down — a practical consideration in open-plan or customer-facing environments.

Several design decisions make this unit straightforward to run day-to-day:

• Click-in, click-out wash arms simplify cleaning and reduce downtime between services
• Bluetooth connectivity allows staff to access user guides, adjust settings, and review performance data via a smartphone app
• The integrated softener protects internal components and wash quality in medium to hard water areas
• Double-skinned construction reduces operational noise in customer-facing settings
• Runs on a standard 13A single-phase supply, removing the need for a dedicated electrical circuit

Because this model runs on a standard 13A plug, it requires no specialist electrical installation — it connects to a standard socket, which keeps setup straightforward for most premises. The integrated softener does require periodic salt replenishment; this is a minor maintenance task but should be factored into daily operating routines, particularly in hard water regions. The unit's footprint suits most back-bar or undercounter positions, though clearance for the door swing and adequate ventilation should be confirmed before installation.

This glasswasher suits venues with moderate glass throughput: bars, pub kitchens, small restaurants, hotel bars, and similar hospitality operations. For sites running continuous high-volume service across multiple stations, a higher-capacity model may be worth considering. Equally, for very low-volume or intermittent use, a smaller unit could represent a more proportionate investment.

If you're unsure whether this model is the right fit for your service volumes or water supply conditions, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
