Expert Review and Insights
In my experience, the biggest threat to a good pint is a poorly maintained line. Proton's Prosan Ultra is a proper workhorse. It doesn't just clean; its formulation actively tackles the mineral build-up that causes so many issues in hard water areas. It’s a no-nonsense, effective solution that I regularly recommend to publicans who value consistency and quality.

- Top Performance: It genuinely shifts residue that other cleaners sometimes leave behind.
- Strictly Pro: As a hazardous item, it demands careful handling and storage.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Queen's Head, a popular pub in Canterbury, was constantly battling the effects of the region's notoriously hard water. The landlord noticed a subtle but persistent taint to their lagers and was getting tired of the extra maintenance required to descale the lines.
"We switched to the Proton Prosan Ultra and the difference was clear after the first clean. The lines are spotless, the beer tastes exactly as it should, and our weekly clean is now faster. Our regulars have even commented on how crisp the pints are."
Robert Davies – General Manager
The switch completely eliminated beerstone build-up, leading to a 100% reduction in taste-related customer complaints.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Using the Cleaner Correctly
- Always wear the correct PPE (gloves and eye protection) as this is a powerful chemical.
- Dilute the solution according to the instructions on the bottle for your cleaning system.
- Circulate the solution through the lines for the manufacturer's recommended contact time.
- After cleaning, flush the lines thoroughly with fresh water until the purple colour has completely disappeared.
Keeping It Going
- Store the container upright in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
- Keep it securely sealed and out of reach of children and untrained staff.
- Always refer to the COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) data sheet before use.
- Never mix with any other chemicals, especially acid-based cleaners.

Explore more from ProtonHow Smart Water Softening Protects Your Pints
Ever wondered why your kettle gets that chalky white build-up? That's limescale, caused by minerals in 'hard water'. The exact same thing happens inside your beer lines, creating a rough, crusty layer called 'beerstone'. This isn't just unsightly; it's a perfect hiding place for bacteria and wild yeast, which can ruin the flavour of your beer and cause it to go hazy.
The 'increased water softening capabilities' in Prosan Ultra act like a powerful descaler for your lines. Think of it like this: a standard cleaner tries to scrub a dirty surface, but this cleaner first dissolves the rough, scaly ground the dirt is hiding in. By breaking down those mineral deposits, it allows the sterilising agents to get to work on a perfectly smooth surface, ensuring a much deeper and more effective clean. This is crucial for any pub in a hard water area wanting to serve a consistently brilliant pint.
