How is the system used?

Both models of glass washers are designed to fit virtually any bar sink. It is best used with a three compartment sink where three "tanks" of water are available The Glass Washer is installed in the first compartment with "lukewarm" water to the fill line and a good liquid detergent like Bar Maid LoSUDS. All machines must be eiter equipped with or plugged into a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter). The second comppartment is a rinse rinse (clean water), the third is clean water with a sanitizer. Simply turn the machine on, firmly grasp the bottom of the glass to be washed and place it over the center brush. Remove the glass after one or two seconds and dip into the second and then third tanks. Place upside down on the drain board and repeat.

Why buy a Bar Maid five brush machine instead of a cabinet washer or under the counter washer?

The Bar Maid system is inexpensive to buy (a fraction of the others), requires very little maintenance and is extremely efficient. Glasses actually come cleaner than with other types of washers because of the brush contact on the inside and outside of the glass. When used properly, Bar Maid Glass Washers quickly and easily remove tough stuff like lipstick and fruit pulp...no more drinks returned because of dirty glasses. And because glasses don't have to be racked and moved to the kitched, fewer glasses get broken.

Can the barmaid system wash extra tall glasses?

All Glass Washers come with four 6" brushes and one taller 7.5" center brush to handle most sizes of glassware.

What is the best type of detergant to use?

We strongly recommend liquid detergent such as Bar Maid LoSuds because it is non-abrasive. Powder detergents can build up on moving parts and cause premature wear. A good liquid is more likely to keep your machine cleaner and running smoother.

Why are there 2 models, and what is the difference?

There are two different models although both do the same thing. The A-200 and A-205 (220v) is an "Upright" washer where the motor stands up and out of the water. If there is a space restriction behind the bar (bar is close to the sink), the SS-100 (SS-101 220v) is recommended. Both do a great job of getting glasses clean.
