Pitcher Rinsers

Standard Option
Rinser + Mini Faucet Combo
Trending option
A larger rinser platform with a small integrated faucet — the faucet drains directly into the rinser pan for a tidy all-in-one solution. Growing in popularity for coffee bars.

- Larger footprint — confirm counter space
Trending
A note on NSF ratings: NSF-certified pitcher rinsers start around $250. Our standard options are not NSF rated. If your health permit requires NSF-certified equipment, let us know during the quoting process — we'll source the right option for your county's requirements.
Water Tanks
Standard & Custom Tank Configurations
All plumbing packages include a 5-gallon fresh water tank and a 5-gallon grey water tank as standard. We accommodate custom tank sizes and configurations for builds with specific health code requirements — just let us know during the quoting process.
- Larger tanks available on request
- Custom plumbing layouts for permitted builds — Sam signs off on all specs
- Health code requirements vary by county — ask us early in the process

Before You Book Your Consult — Gather These First
