right water
For crystal clear ice
Your local water, the manufacturer's
recommendations, and the quality of the ice
you wish to serve will all affect the water
treatment solution you ultimately choose. A
good quality filter will remove most of the
unwanted elements that may affect the taste
and odour of your water but won’t protect
your icemaker machine from the scale. A more
advanced option combining ion-exchange
treatment and carbon filtration is a good
starting point. Water softening can help and
offer excellent protection from limescale but
will still leave you with partially cloudy ice.
Reverse Osmosis will remove practically all of
the dissolved solids leaving you with ‘pure’
water and translucent ice. Combine your
choice of RO with a pre-filter, water softener,
and post-RO demineralisation cartridge for the
ultimate protection, quality, and customer
satisfaction. Or select one of the many
specialist single and multi-cartridge systems
available from manufacturers like BWT. If
you’re unsure, please ask your water
treatment specialist, their advice is often free.
How do I benefit?
The most common, important, and visible
benefit is ice that looks fabulous and
compliments the flavour of the drinks you
serve. One of the reasons ice can appear
cloudy is because of the hardness minerals in
your water.
Reducing the hardness of your water is a MAY/JUNE. 2024 | ISSUE 36
good start to making your ice clearer and
equipment work more efficiently for longer.
For better taste, consider using a filtered water
solution.
