What Are FiltaCool Filters?

What Are FiltaCool Filters?
Whether you work in the restaurant industry, manage a hospital or school kitchen, own a floristry shop or supervise a grocery store, you may have heard one of your peers in the industry mention a relatively new item that has been helping them to save a lot of money in their walk-in cooler – the FiltaCool filter.  FiltaCool filters tend to get talked about because they provide so much benefit for such a small investment.  But just what are these small, inexpensive money-savers and how do you get them?
The Filters
FiltaCool filters are small, flat filters that fit into small brackets fastened (usually) to the top of your walk-in cooler or other commercial refrigeration unit.  They take up almost no space at all and they start to work immediately, altering the internal environment of your cooler so that your cooler runs more efficiently and your produce or other perishables stay fresh longer.  FiltaCool filters only cost about $12 a piece each month.  Not a large investment, but their impact is huge.
What They Do
FiltaCool filters alter the environment inside your refrigeration unit in several beneficial ways.  Primarily, they act to regulate the humidity inside of your cooler.  Humidity is bad news for commercial coolers.  Condensation freezes on the interior walls and piping of the cooler causing it to use more energy to run and causing its parts to wear out more quickly.  Coolers with FiltaCool filters installed use 10% less energy to maintain a constant temperature.
Humidity is also death for perishable goods.  Too much humidity and your product spoils rapidly, too little humidity and your products dry out, crack and become unusable.  FiltaCool filters keep the humidity inside of you cooler at the optimal level for both the unit and your perishable goods.  Your products can make it into the hands of your customers, where they belong, instead of getting tossed into the dumpster and your cooler could last for years longer than it’s expected lifetime.
FiltaCool filters also work to trap the harmful gasses that are a natural product of the decomposition of produce.  When these gasses build up inside of a cooler they accelerated decomposition, causing your goods to spoil more quickly.  FiltaCool traps these gasses so that they cannot accumulate, slowing the decay of your cold-stored products.
Of course, those gasses aren’t the only thing to build up inside of your cooler.  Unpleasant odors accumulate in a cooler over time, making it an unpleasant place for your employees and for your distributors.  Even worse, some produce can actually absorb noxious odors.  Nobody wants their kale to taste like carp, now it doesn’t have to.
When you use FiltaCool filters in your walk-in or other commercial refrigeration unit you will begin to see big savings right away.  Your perishable goods will last longer and you will lose less money to waste.  FiltaCool filters allows you to put more of your products on the customers’ tables and less into the waste bin.
Where to Get Them
FiltaCool filters are available from your local Filta franchise owner.  If you are already a FiltaFry user, then ask your Filta representative about FiltaCool filters.  If you haven’t used Filta before, call 1-800-Go-Filta to find a Filta franchise near you.  Filta will come to your place of business and FiltaCool filters can be installed in about 10 minutes per unit.  After that, your Filta representative will return to your place of business every 3 months to replace your filters at no additional cost.
