Terry: Commercial Water Treatment & Citryne Scale Control

Terry H2O Solutions is a Middleby brand that builds in-line water filtration and Citryne® scale control for ice machines, steamers, combi ovens, beverage equipment, and warewashers. Terry water treatment systems include ScaleMaster scale control systems, ice machine filters, replacement cartridges, and reverse osmosis systems. Chef's Deal carries the full range with matching replacement parts for easy reorders.

Terry, Systems IV & Middleby Water Treatment

Terry is part of The Middleby Corporation, the same foodservice equipment group behind dozens of commercial kitchen brands. Terry H2O Solutions' own site also carries sister lines Systems IV and Middleby Water Treatment, which share Citryne's scale-control formula. That's why Chef's Deal lists the Systems IV-branded reverse osmosis systems under the Terry brand.

What Is Citryne®?

Citryne® is Terry's proprietary, FDA-approved, food-grade blend that removes existing scale and prevents new buildup through chelation. It binds the calcium and magnesium in hard water so those minerals stay dissolved instead of crystallizing into scale. The formula is biodegradable and contains no hazardous chemicals.

Stand-alone Citryne units add scale protection to equipment that already has filtration, run without electricity, and don't waste water, unlike reverse osmosis reject water or water softener regeneration cycles. Certain Terry scale control systems, such as the Scale Master series, have NSF certification and AB1953 lead-free compliance. Check certifications for each product separately.

Why Scale Control Matters for Foodservice Equipment

Scale buildup is one of the most common causes of service calls on ice machines, steamers, and combi ovens because mineral deposits clog distribution lines and cause floats, pumps, and valves to malfunction. Scale also insulates heating elements and heat exchangers, so equipment works harder and uses more energy to hold the same temperature.

Many equipment manufacturers recommend or require water treatment and may treat scale-related component failure as a maintenance issue excluded from warranty. Check your equipment's specific warranty terms.

Terry ScaleMaster & TRUH2O Scale Control Systems

Terry ScaleMaster and TRUH2O scale control systems remove existing mineral scale and prevent new buildup in the water line before it reaches ice machines, steamers, combi ovens, warewashers, and other foodservice equipment. Terry ScaleMaster systems use Citryne scale control in a stand-alone, electricity-free cartridge with a filter-life gauge and quick cartridge change.

• The panel-mounted SM1 and SM2 are stand-alone systems sized for steam cookers and ice makers producing 1,300 lb (589.670 kg) to 2,000 lb (907.184 kg) of ice per day.
• The SMK1, SMK2, and SMK3 kits are sized for steam cookers, combi ovens, and ice makers producing 800 lb (362.874 kg) to over 2,400 lb (1,088.621 kg) of ice per day.
• The SMK2H, SMK3H, and SMK4H apply the same Citryne scale control to hot-water-line equipment instead of ice machines.
• The SMK12 is sized for espresso machines, coffee brewers, iced tea dispensers, and small steamers or flakers.
• Terry's TRUH2O 100MP is a 0.5-micron single-unit system that inhibits scale buildup and protects boilers and ice machines across multiple applications.

Terry Ice Machine Water Filters

Terry ice machine water filters come in the TFF-C and TFF-CP series, each in 10-in (25.4-cm) and 15-in (38.1-cm) housings, with standard and EXTR (extended-capacity) versions.

• The "C" models filter sediment and carbon for taste, odor, and clarity.
• The "CP" models add a scale inhibitor to the same carbon filtration.

Check the spec sheet for the exact micron rating and capacity of each size. Both protect ice quality and the ice machine itself from scale and sediment.

Terry Replacement Cartridges

Terry replacement cartridges cover the largest share of the lineup by product count.

• Citryne scale-control cartridges, including the SM1C and FF-SC15, handle scale; 1-micron carbon cartridges like the FF-C15 reduce chlorine, taste, and odor;
• The TCB20-5 is a 20-in (50.8 cm) carbon block for sediment and taste and odor reduction.
• Lead- and chloramine-rated cartridges are also available.

Commercial Reverse Osmosis Systems & Storage Tanks

Commercial reverse osmosis systems and storage tanks treat water with high total dissolved solids for espresso, specialty beverages, and spot-free warewash rinse water. They.

• The SYS4 RO and SIV RO systems are complete reverse osmosis systems with all required pre-filters, membrane, and post-filter for turnkey installation.
• RO storage tanks are available from 5 gal (18.927 L) to 20 gal (75.708 L) to match the system.

Mounting Brackets, Valves & Parts

Mounting brackets, valves, and housing parts round out the lineup. Use brackets for ScaleMaster kits and ball valves to shut off water during cartridge changes.

Terry for Ice Machines, Steamers, Combi Ovens, Coffee & Warewashers

Terry water treatment systems protect 4 categories of foodservice equipment.

• Ice machines: Get clearer, better-tasting ice with fewer descaling service calls.
• Steamers & combi ovens: Protect boilers and steam generators from mineral buildup.
• Coffee & beverage equipment: Hold consistent taste from cup to cup.
• Warewashers: Use pure water in your warewashers to get spot-free results while protecting heating elements.

How to Choose a Terry Water Treatment System

Choose a Terry water treatment system by testing your water first. A water test identifies your actual problem, which determines everything else below.

• Match capacity to what you're protecting: Size the system to the equipment's ice production (lb/day) or its steamer or combi compartment count.
• Identify the water problem: Choose scale control for hard water, carbon filtration for chlorine taste and odor, sediment filtration for particulates, or a certified cartridge for lead and chloramine.
• Decide between scale-only and combined filtration: Add a stand-alone Citryne unit to existing filtration, or choose a combined system like the SMFS220 when you need both in one unit.
• Check the micron rating: Match it to the contaminant you're targeting.
• Confirm mounting space and cartridge-change access: Leave room to service the unit without disconnecting the equipment it protects.
