Where to Begin?
Always test your water before you begin, knowing the composition
and PH value of your water is always a good starting point.
Your local water, the manufacturers 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 scale.
A more advanced option combining ion-exchange treatment and
carbon filtration is a good starting point. Water softening can help
and will offer excellent protection from limescale but can still leave
you with partially cloudy ice.
Reverse Osmosis will take out 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 manufactures like BWT. If you’re unsure, MARCH/APRIL 2023 | ISSUE 29
please ask your water treatment specialist, their advice is often free.
