Why it matters

Two broken workflows.
One solution.

CNSRV DC:02 Gen2 replacing faucet defrosting — saves up to 1 million gallons of water per year
The Defrost Problem

Running faucets waste up to one million gallons a year.

Up to $20,000 in annual water costs. Uneven thaws. Compliance risk. Staff keep running the faucet because nothing else is fast enough — until now.

The Chilling Problem

Chill paddles break. Ice baths take too long.

Food code requires cooling to 70°F within 2 hours. Without active water movement, heat exchange stalls. Hot food in a walk-in damages equipment, raises temps, and invites mold.

DC:02 Gen2 chilling

CNSRV solves both. One system. One prep sink.

Zero installation. No plumbing changes.

DC:02 Gen2 — How it works

Two modes. One system.

Agitation
Water AgitationA running faucet moves 7 GPM across one surface. CNSRV circulates 130 GPM around all of it — even temperature throughout, no stagnant zones, up to 2× faster
Temperature
Temp ControlHeating element gradually raises water temp — auto-shuts at 66°F
Safety
Food SafetyAdheres to FDA §3-501.13 and CA Retail Food Code §114020 standards
Disposable Filters
Disposable FiltersCaptures debris before it enters the system — simpler cleaning, no buildup, sustained performance
Defrost mode
01
Defrost Mode

Fill a plugged prep sink with frozen food and cold water. Select Defrost. DC:02 pumps at 130 GPM — moving cold water away from food as fast as it absorbs heat. A heating element gradually raises water temperature for speed and efficiency, then auto-shuts at 66°F — a built-in safety cushion below the 70°F health code limit. Up to 2× faster. 98% less water.

Chill mode
02
Chill Mode

Add hot food, cold water, and ice. Select Chill. Continuous circulation accelerates heat removal — pulling food through the danger zone to 70°F within the 2-hour food code window. No chill paddles. No guesswork.
