Product Overview

Washtech UL Fully Insulated Dishwasher / Polish Free Glasswasher

The Washtech UL is a fully insulated undercounter dishwasher that doubles as a polish free compatible glasswasher, built for venues that want one quiet machine to handle both dishes and glasses. It runs up to 1,080 plates or 1,500 glasses an hour across three wash cycles, with full thermal and acoustic insulation and a soft close door that keeps noise down on a busy bar, plus a 0.5HP soft start wash pump and heavy-duty stainless steel scrap tray and waste basket for handling food debris.

Like the rest of the polish free range, the UL needs a reverse osmosis (RO) system to actually deliver polish free glasses. It's built with the internals, including an assured rinse system with break tank and booster pump, to handle RO-treated water, but it doesn't treat the water itself. The Bestaqua BA14-DW14 RO system is the compatible option and needs to be added separately.

The UL also comes with an optional switchable inlet kit, letting it toggle between polish free mode on cold RO water and a standard high-capacity mode on regular hot water feed, useful if a venue wants the flexibility to run either way depending on the wash. Standard power is 240V 15A, field convertible up to 415V three phase for faster rinse recovery when running cold. Washtech dishwashers and glasswashers are manufactured in New Zealand and distributed in Australia by Moffat, backed by the 5-2-2 warranty: 5 years on the cabinet, 2 years on the wash pump, and 2 years comprehensive parts and labour.

Best for: Bars and small kitchens wanting a quiet, fully insulated machine that covers both dishes and polish free glasses, with the flexibility to switch to standard hot water running when needed.

Does the UL deliver polish free glasses on its own?

No. It's built to handle RO-treated water and has the internals (break tank, booster pump) to run polish free, but it doesn't treat the water itself. You need to add a reverse osmosis system, the compatible option here is the Bestaqua BA14-DW14, for the UL to actually run polish free.

What does the switchable inlet kit do?

It's an optional upgrade that lets the UL toggle between two modes: polish free running on cold RO water, or a standard high-capacity mode on regular hot water feed. That gives you the option to run it either way depending on what you're washing, rather than being locked to RO only.

Can it wash both dishes and glasses?

Yes. It's built as a combined undercounter dishwasher and polish free compatible glasswasher, with a heavy-duty scrap tray and waste basket for food debris, so it can switch between plate racks and glass racks depending on what you're running through it.

Is the UL available in black?

Yes, as the UL-B, in mirror or matte black stainless steel. See the product options for current pricing.

Do I need an electrician for the power upgrade?

Yes. The standard 240V 15A setup doesn't need anything special, but stepping up to 240V 25A or 415V three phase for faster rinse recovery needs a licensed electrician.
