Features & Benefits

Ice cubes slowly start to melt in cold beverages, and if made with poor-quality water, they can alter the drink's taste. This is why using high-quality, clean ice cubes is essential—they preserve the beverage's flavor while ensuring it remains safe and refreshing. Clean ice cubes also enhance the overall experience, whether in a restaurant, café, or home setting, by maintaining the integrity of the drink.

Pentair Everpure filtration solutions improve water quality by:

  • Reducing chlorine, chloramines and other unwanted chemicals that can affect the taste and odor of water
  • Reducing cysts and other potentially harmful contaminants
  • Reducing particulates that cause cloudy water
Features & Benefits

The Impacts of Poor Quality Water On Ice

Poor quality water can significantly impact the taste, clarity, and safety of your ice. Contaminants like chlorine, minerals, and sediment can lead to cloudy, off-tasting ice that diminishes the quality of your beverages.

Chlorine can give ice a poor taste and odor

  • Unpleasant aftertaste and odor
  • Contaminated flavor profile of your drinks

Organics affect taste, odor and color

  • Unpleasant odors and earthy tastes to your ice cubes
  • Cloudy or discolored ice

High iron can promote slime buildup inside machine and bin

  • Unsightly slime and clogged ice maker
  • Reduced ice production and maintenance hassle

High TDS can cause poor ice production

  • Misshapen ice
  • Soft Ice
  • Cloudiness

The Impacts of Poor Quality Water On Ice Cube Machines

Ice machines are a significant investment for any food service business, and their performance and lifespan can be greatly impacted by poor water quality.

Scale can cause a “freeze up”

Minerals impedes heat transfer on evaporator resulting in ice that sticks and refreezes with each cycle.

Float switches scale and stick

  • Stuck closed results in longer harvest cycle

Dirt, sediment and scale can cause valves to stick

  • Continuously leaking water
  • Bridging of cubes
  • Stuck open, the reservoir water temperature is tempered to the point that no ice is produced.

Scale damages boilers

  • It causes pinholes and stress fractures

Scale on the water-cooled condenser coil can increase water usage and power consumption

  • Scale build-up forces the ice maker to work harder
  • Heat transfer becomes less efficient

The Impacts of Poor Quality Water on Ice Flaker Machines

Ice machines are a significant investment for any food service business, and their performance and lifespan can be greatly impacted by poor water quality.

Dirt, sediment and mineral solids can be abrasive

  • Causes premature bearing wear
  • Scraping on evaporator wall

Scale can cause the float switch to stick

  • Improper reservoir fills could prevent the ice-making process from starting

Scale on the evaporator cylinder can insulate the surface

  • This causes reduced ice production and poor quality ice
  • The ice will remain wet and reduce performance of auger

Scale can cause the inlet valve to stick

  • This can cause excessive water to go to drain
  • If stuck closed, it would activate the low water safety and stop ice production
