The Hobart Ecomax G504S is an undercounter glasswasher built for commercial bar and catering environments where consistent, spot-free results matter throughout service. It accepts a 500x500mm basket and runs up to 60 racks per hour, with cycle times adjustable between 60 and 180 seconds depending on soil load and glass type. A drain pump is fitted as standard, and the integrated water softener is included — a practical inclusion that removes the need for a separate softening unit and helps protect both the machine and your glassware in hard water areas.

In a busy bar or café setting, throughput and reliability are the primary concerns during service. The G504S is well suited to moderate-volume operations where glassware is turned around continuously — think a pub function room, hotel bar, or café-restaurant running covers through a shift. The adjustable cycle gives operators some control over speed versus wash intensity, which is useful when switching between heavily soiled pint glasses and more delicate wine glasses.

From a practical standpoint, the built-in water softener delivers a meaningful operational advantage: it reduces limescale build-up, extends the working life of the machine, and helps maintain glass clarity without reliance on excessive rinse aid. Key operational benefits include:

  • Integrated water softener reduces limescale and protects glassware quality
  • Drain pump fitted as standard for flexible installation positioning
  • Adjustable cycle time accommodates different glass types and soil levels
  • Stainless steel construction supports hygiene and durability in daily use
  • Single-phase hardwired connection keeps installation straightforward in most sites

Installation requires a hardwired 25A single-phase supply — this is not a plug-and-play unit, so an electrical connection by a qualified electrician will be needed. The machine also requires a mains water inlet and a drain connection. At 54kg and with footprint dimensions appropriate for undercounter installation, it fits within a standard counter run, but it is worth confirming your available space before ordering. Ventilation requirements are standard for this class of machine, though ensuring adequate airflow around the unit is advisable in tight undercounter configurations.

The G504S is most suitable for small to medium operations — bars, café-restaurants, hotel lounges, and similar venues — where glassware throughput is steady but not extreme. Sites running very high glass volumes continuously throughout service, or those operating multiple bar points from a single wash point, may find a higher-capacity model better matched to their needs.

If you're unsure whether this model is the right fit for your service volume or site setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

Is 60 racks per hour enough for a busy bar or pub environment?

For most small to medium venues — a café-restaurant, hotel bar, or pub lounge — 60 racks per hour is comfortably adequate during normal service. Where a single bar point is under sustained high-volume pressure throughout an entire shift, or where you're washing for multiple service areas from one machine, it's worth discussing whether a higher-capacity unit would serve you better.

What does the built-in water softener actually do, and do I still need to use rinse aid?

The water softener removes calcium and magnesium minerals from the incoming water supply, which are the primary cause of limescale deposits on glassware and within the machine itself. This helps maintain glass clarity, protects internal components, and reduces the frequency of descaling. Rinse aid is still typically used alongside a softener — it serves a different purpose, aiding water run-off and speeding up drying — but the softener significantly reduces the volume required.

What are the installation requirements for the G504S?

The machine requires a hardwired 25A single-phase electrical connection, which must be carried out by a qualified electrician — this is not a plug-in unit. You will also need a cold mains water supply and a suitable drain connection. At 54kg, the unit is manageable to position during installation but will require appropriate handling, and you should confirm the available undercounter space matches the machine's footprint before ordering.
