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 simple terms, filters process the water that is being fed into your ice machines removing chlorine, particulates, and other unwanted substances that will leave your ice looking cloudy, dirty and otherwise tasting odd. 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. Scale can not only effect the quality of ice but can also effect the efficiency and functionality of an ice machines’ internal components which can result in costly repairs or complete equipment replacement in some cases.
