- Top Marks for Speed: The cycle times are genuinely rapid, keeping crockery in constant circulation during peak hours.
- Needs Professional Install: It requires a 30A hardwired connection, so you’ll need to budget for an electrician.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Bistro in Newquay was struggling with a major bottleneck in their kitchen. Their old undercounter dishwasher simply couldn't cope with the summer tourist rush, causing service delays and staff stress.
"We used to have a pile-up of plates by 8 pm every Saturday, it was a nightmare. Since installing the Buffalo pass through, the wash station is always clear. It’s just relentless and powers through everything we give it."
Ben Carter – Head Chef
The result? The bistro increased its table turnover on peak nights by an estimated 20%, as there was no longer a wait for clean crockery.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- This unit requires a 30A hardwired electrical supply, which must be installed by a qualified electrician.
- Connect to a mains water supply. We highly recommend a water softener (like model FB153) in hard water areas.
- Position the drain hose securely into your waste outlet; the pump gives you flexibility on height and placement.
- Ensure the machine is perfectly level by adjusting the feet. This ensures stable, quieter operation.
Keeping It Going
- Clean the internal wash filters at the end of every day to prevent blockages and maintain peak performance.
- Wipe down the stainless steel exterior and interior door seals with a soft, damp cloth.
- Regularly check and refill the detergent and rinse aid reservoirs for consistently sparkling results.
- Run a descaling cycle periodically (monthly in hard water areas) to protect the heating elements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 'pass through' or 'hood type' mean?
A: It's a large, free-standing unit where you slide baskets of dirty dishes in one side and pull them out clean on the other. It's designed for a fast, production-line style of washing, perfect for high-volume sites.
Q: Do I need a separate water softener?
A: If you're in a hard water area, yes, it's highly recommended. A compatible water softener (like model FB153) will prevent limescale from damaging the machine and ensure spotless results.
Q: How many plates can it wash at once?
A: The 500x500mm basket can typically hold up to 18 standard dinner plates, but this varies depending on their size and how you stack them in the supplied plate rack.
Q: What is a WRAS-approved 'Type A Air Gap'?
A: It’s a crucial safety feature that creates a physical air break between the dishwasher and the mains water. This makes it impossible for dirty wash water to ever be siphoned back into the clean water supply, ensuring you meet UK regulations.
Q: What are the different wash programs for?
A: The five cycles are tailored for different needs: one for delicate glass, one for cutlery, and three more for light, medium, and heavily soiled plates, ensuring efficiency and perfect results every time.
Q: Does this dishwasher heat its own water?
A: Yes, it has powerful internal heating elements and thermostats to bring both the wash and rinse water to the correct, hygienic, and sanitising temperatures required in a commercial kitchen.
Q: Can I wash large pots and pans in this?
A: The 330mm usable chamber height is very generous for large plates and tall glassware. For oversized pots and pans, it's always best to measure them first to ensure they will fit comfortably.
Q: What does 'single phase' and '30A hardwired' mean?
A: 'Single phase' is the standard electrical supply in most UK commercial premises. '30A hardwired' means it needs to be permanently connected to a high-power circuit by an electrician, rather than plugging into a standard wall socket.

Ever found the perfect spot for a new machine, only to realise the waste pipe in the wall is too high? A built-in drain pump solves that exact problem. Think of it like a small, powerful pump inside your dishwasher. Instead of relying on gravity alone to let the dirty water trickle out, the pump actively forces it out and can even push it upwards. This gives you total flexibility on where you place your **commercial pass through dishwasher with drain pump** without needing expensive new plumbing work. It’s the difference between an easy installation and a major headache.
