Subject: Water Conditioning For Ice Cube Machines
The quality of the ice produced by a commercial ice cube machine can only be as high as the quality
of the water which is used. Water which contains turbidity or sediment or which has a high
concentration of dissolved minerals or gases will produce cloudy or opaque ice.
Ion exchange (zeolite) softening is used to advantage in many cases, as the softener removes iron and
most forms of turbidity, and also prevents scale formation in the ice machines. However, softening
the water by ion exchange does not reduce the concentration of minerals. In addition, most machines
require a considerable blowdown to waste to prevent the buildup of the total dissolved solids and thus
a considerable amount of softened water will be wasted.
All the sulfates, chlorides, and the sodium carbonate (listed below) have in general the same effect on
the appearance of raw water ice and therefore, in this rough tabulation, can be grouped together.
Generally, the sodium carbonates can be considered 1 1/4 times as objectionable as the sulfates, and
the chlorides about 3/4 as objectionable as the sulfates. Therefore, total the sulfates and chlorides
separately and apply the factors:
Calcium Sulfate Calcium Chloride
Magnesium Sulfate Magnesium Chloride
Sodium Sulfate Sodium Chloride
Sodium Carbonate
Total Sulfates x 1.0 = __________
Total Chlorides x 0.75 = __________
Sodium Carbonate x 1.25 = __________
Sum Total = __________
Dissolved solids below 171 ppm (10 grains per gallon) produces first quality ice, 256 ppm (15 g.p.g.)
good quality ice, and 342 ppm (20 g.p.g.) an ice that is still marketable. If dissolved solids are
between 342 ppm and 684 ppm (40 g.p.g.), acceptable ice quality ice is questionable, over 684 ppm,
marketable ice cannot be expected.
When cloudy or opaque is produced because of the water quality, it is suggested that the water be
analyzed by a reputable laboratory and their advice be followed.
