It removes hard water scale from dishmachine interiors, spray arms, and nearby surfaces to maintain efficiency and spot-free dishes.

If your spray arms are sludging up with lime scale every few weeks, this case of four gallons will keep your machine running clean through peak seasons.

Jamie's Take · Senior Operator @ ChickenPieces

"We sold a case of this to a Banff hotel that had spray arms clogging every two weeks. After one treatment, they went to quarterly delime cycles. The gallon jug design fits under most sinks without dripping. I keep a case on my own shelf for when hard water gets out of handit's the same formula Ecolab techs use on site."

Canadian operators deal with hard water from coast to coast, and nobody has time to re-wash glassware during a dinner rush. That's where Ecolab Delimer Lime A-Way comes in. You'll pour it into your dishmachine's sump, run a cycle without dishes, and watch the mineral deposits dissolve. It's not a daily chemical you'll use it monthly or quarterly depending on your water hardness. We stock this in our non food category alongside other essential maintenance chems, because when your machine's down, so is your service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you use ecolab lime a way?+
To use Ecolab Lime A-Way, first ensure the dish machine is empty and cool. Remove spray arms if accessible. Fill a bucket with warm water and add the recommended dose (usually 1-2 oz per gallon of water, but check your machine's manual). For internal cleaning, place the solution in the machine's sump and run a full cycle without dishes. For spray arms, soak them in the solution for 15-30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Always wear gloves and follow safety data sheet precautions.
How to use ecolab lime a way?+
Using Ecolab Lime A-Way is straightforward: dilute the liquid with water per the label instructions (typically 1-2 oz per gallon), pour into the dish machine's sump or a bucket for manual cleaning. Run a complete wash cycle without dishes to circulate the descaler through spray arms and internal surfaces. For heavy buildup, let the solution sit for 15 minutes before running the cycle. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water afterward to remove any acidic residue.
How to delime ecolab dish machine?+
To delime an Ecolab dish machine, start by turning off the machine and ensuring it's empty. Remove the spray arms and any easily detachable parts. Prepare a solution of Ecolab Lime A-Way according to the labeltypically 1-2 oz per gallon of warm water. Place the solution in the machine's sump or a container. Run a full wash cycle without dishes, pausing midway to allow the solution to soak. For external parts, scrub with a soft brush. Rinse everything thoroughly with clean water before resuming normal operation.
How to delime ecolab dishwasher?+
Deliming an Ecolab dishwasher follows the same process as any brand: ensure the machine is off and empty, remove spray arms if possible, and prepare a Lime A-Way solution at the recommended dilution (usually 1-2 oz per gallon). Pour into the sump and run a full cycle without dishes. For heavy scale, let it soak for 15-20 minutes. After the cycle, run a pure water rinse cycle to neutralize. Do not mix with other chemicals. Repeat monthly or as needed based on water hardness.
Why are ecolab products so expensive?+
Ecolab products are priced higher than some alternatives because of the concentrated formulation, technical support, and reliability in high-volume commercial environments. The cost per use is often lower when you factor in reduced re-washing, fewer service calls for scale-clogged spray arms, and consistent results. For a busy restaurant, the price difference is usually justified by the operational savings and peace of mind. That said, ChickenPieces.com offers competitive pricing on cases, so check the per-unit cost.
How to calculate lime application?+
Calculating lime application involves knowing your water hardness and equipment volume. For Ecolab Lime A-Way, the typical dose is 1-2 oz per gallon of sump capacity. If you have a 12-gallon tank, use 12-24 oz per delime cycle. You can estimate by dividing the total volume of solution needed by the bottle size. For persistent scale, increase frequency rather than concentration. Many operators run a preventive delime cycle weekly if water hardness exceeds 10 grains per gallon.
How to store Ecolab Delimer Lime A Way 3 for maximum shelf life?+
To maximize shelf life, store Ecolab Delimer Lime A-Way in a cool, dry place between 5°C and 30°C. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent evaporation or contamination. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The product typically has a shelf life of 2 years from manufacture date if stored properly. Do not freeze, as the liquid may separate or change consistency. For best results, use within 6 months of opening, though it remains effective until the expiration date.
Is Ecolab Delimer Lime A Way 3 compatible with standard commercial machines?+
Yes, Ecolab Delimer Lime A-Way is compatible with standard commercial dish machines, including models from Hobart, Ecolab's own brands, Jackson, and others. Its acid-based formula is safe for stainless steel, plastic spray arms, and rubber gaskets when used as directed. However, avoid contact with copper, brass, or aluminum surfacesrinse immediately if accidental contact occurs. For machines with sensitive components like some low-temp chemical sanitizing systems, check the manufacturer's guidelines first.
What are the dimensions and weight of the Ecolab Lime A-Way case?+
Each case contains 4 one-gallon (3.79 L) jugs. The individual jug dimensions are approximately 8 inches tall by 6 inches wide by 4 inches deep. The case weight is roughly 36 pounds. These dimensions fit standard chemical storage racks under dishmachine counters. If you need exact numbers for logistics, the product label may include net weight but not case dimensionscontact ChickenPieces.com for shipping specs.
How long does a case of Ecolab Delimer Lime A-Way last under typical commercial use?+
For a mid-volume restaurant washing 200 racks per day, one gallon jug typically lasts 2-4 months when used monthly for prophylactic deliming. A case of 4 gallons could cover a year of preventive maintenance. Heavy scale conditions requiring weekly deliming will deplete it fasterone gallon may last only 4-6 weeks. Each use consumes about 1-2 oz per cycle, so you can roughly estimate based on your machine's sump size and frequency.
