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.

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.

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.

Scale build up not only makes ice look and taste funny but it can also put an enormous amount of stress on your ice machines’s internal parts.

Scale build up doesn’t typically happen overnight which means that getting ahead of it with a water softener and routine filter changes will help you avoid any downtime for you commercial ice machine(s). Each ice machine tends to have a different size water filter which is relative to the size of the machine and obviously the amount ice it produces which is in direct correlation to the amount of water that will be needed to make the ice. In terms how often a water filter will need to be changed on a commercial ice machine, it depends on the model and how much ice is being made but the ice equipment experts at Capital Equipment can help set up routine service intervals to make sure your ice is always flawlessly clear and clean. You’ll likely never hear how great your ice tastes because, let’s face it, we tend to take it for granted.
