HWA SERIES

The HWA SERIES plays a key role in the HoReCa beverage preparation infrastructure — providing a constant source of hot water in places where tea, hot chocolate and other hot beverages are prepared separately from the coffee machine. In hotels, conference centres and restaurants, this solution is a daily necessity, especially at buffet breakfasts where a large number of guests must be served simultaneously.

HWA SERIES overview

HWA SERIES units are hot water boilers with a built-in water tank that provide instant hot water on demand. The double-walled stainless steel body retains heat and ensures durability in intensive commercial use.

Larger models feature an LCD display with settings for water temperature and operating schedules to suit business needs.

Models in the series vary by tank capacity and hourly output — from compact units for smaller spaces to high-capacity models for high-demand buffets and event centre beverage stations.

Most suitable use scenarios

Hotel buffets and breakfasts are the main use scenario for HWA units — guests have access to hot water for tea alongside the coffee machine, ensuring a full beverage selection. The HWA unit can be installed as a separate tea station element or integrated into the overall beverage station layout.

Conference centres and coffee breaks, where many people want both coffee and tea at the same time, use the HWA unit as an additional hot water source. This reduces the load on the coffee machine and speeds up service during peak demand.

Restaurants and cafés offering a wide tea selection benefit from precisely controlled temperature — different tea varieties require different water temperatures, and the HWA unit allows this to be set according to the specific beverage.

How to choose an HWA model

The main criterion is the unit’s output according to maximum demand. Hotel breakfasts with a large number of guests require greater capacity than a small café tea station — choose a model with a small reserve for peak hours and seasonal events.

The second aspect is the installation environment: manually filled models are suitable for locations without a water supply connection, while permanent connection models are more convenient for intensive use and reduce the need for manual refilling.

• Assess hourly output according to maximum load, not average
• Check water supply availability at the installation location
• Plan the HWA unit as part of a complete beverage station together with a coffee machine
• Consult with BHS on installation and electrical connection requirements

Integrating the HWA unit into a buffet beverage station

A modern hotel or conference centre beverage station typically combines several units — a coffee machine, a hot water boiler for tea and a cold water or juice dispenser. The HWA SERIES is designed as part of such an integrated system, ensuring uninterrupted hot water supply without additional load on the coffee machine. A well-planned unit layout in the buffet station reduces guest waiting time — parallel coffee and tea preparation speeds up service during peak demand. The BHS team helps plan beverage station configurations for hotels and conference centres.

Tea culture and the importance of water temperature

Different tea varieties require different water temperatures for optimal flavour — green tea brews optimally at 70–80 °C, white tea at 75–85 °C, while black tea and herbal tea tolerate 95–100 °C. HWA units with adjustable temperature allow precise water temperature settings according to the tea range offered. In hotels where guest preferences include various tea varieties, this temperature control is an important service quality advantage compared to standard hot water taps.

Hot water boiler energy management

HWA SERIES units are equipped with programmable operating schedules that reduce energy consumption outside active service hours. In hotels where the buffet operates only during specific hours, the unit can automatically switch to energy-saving mode at night and preheat the water before the buffet opens. This management reduces electricity costs without affecting beverage service quality. BHS can advise on optimal operating schedules for a specific site.

Frequently asked questions

Can the HWA unit be connected to a permanent water supply?

A permanent connection reduces maintenance effort — no need for regular manual refilling, which is convenient in intensive use conditions. BHS helps choose the right configuration according to the installation site infrastructure.

How long does the HWA unit maintain water temperature after initial heating?

The double-walled stainless steel body provides good thermal insulation — temperature is maintained stably even during peak demand. The heating element compensates for temperature drops during regular use. More powerful models restore temperature faster after intensive use, so expected hourly consumption and peak periods should be considered when choosing.
