Boil Orders and Ice Machines

commercial-ice-machine-service-repair-cleaning

We’ve all likely heard at one point or another about boil orders or boil advisories announced from our local health or water departments. But what exactly are they and what do businesses need to do to make sure their commercial ice machines aren’t making contaminated ice? Well, in simple terms, a boil order is typically issued when something has contaminated (or has potentially contaminated) a water line or water supply which could make anyone who ingests it sick.

Commercial Ice Machine Installation and Services in Kansas City

A boil order could be the result of a water line break or something more serious like a chemical spill or a natural disaster making the water (and anything made with it) unfit for human consumption. For businesses (and even homeowners) that use tap water for their ice maker, a boil order’s contaminated water can easily go overlooked when in reality there are steps that need to be taken before the ice equipment can be used safely again. That goes for commercial ice machines as well which means that if a boil order has been issued in your area and you have an active ice maker, the water filter(s) will need to be removed and replaced immediately before being used again. But it doesn’t end at just changing the water filters on ice machines because, depending on when the boil order was issued, contaminated water may have already been used to make ice or could still be trapped in the water lines.

This means that any ice already in the bin is a potential danger and any water between the filter and the ice machine needs to be cleared before it can be deemed safe for employees and customers. Capital Equipment’s service technicians can professionally clean and sanitize your entire ice machine including the water lines while replacing the filter in the event of a boil order in your area. At Capital Equipment, we help Kansas City area business owners with all of their commercial ice machine and ice equipment needs and water filters and routine cleaning and maintenance are a big part of the services we provide. With over 12 years of experience in the commercial ice equipment industry, our service technicians have pretty much seen it all and know exactly what to do when a boil order effects your area and how to more importantly get your making clean, safe ice.

Why Do Ice Machines Need Water Filters?

For areas like the greater Kansas City metro that, for the most part, have hard water, it is imperative to have effective water filters and have them changed regularly to ensure clean, quality ice. Anytime that water tastes funny or has particles, minerals and sediment in it, they will most certainly end up in the ice which effects the look, taste and overall quality but not when you have an effective filter system.

At Capital Equipment, we help Kansas City area restaurants, hotels, hospitals, offices and a multitude of businesses with every aspect of commercial ice machines and water filtration is a big part of making sure that ice is clean, clear, and most of all delicious.

In other words, ice machine filters remove everything that you don’t want being seen or tasted in ice. Filters also remove scale which is abundant in hard water which happens to be what we have in the greater Kansas City area.
