When your business relies on an ice maker or commercial ice machine, having fresh-tasting cubes for your patrons is a critical part of your service. Keeping the water source free of contaminants is easier with a filter. Here are a few reasons to install one today.

Why You Should Use an Ice Machine Filter

1. Remove Chemicals

Without a filter, materials like sand, dirt, chlorine, and fluorine typically found in the main water supply seep in. The ice maker filter stops this debris from getting into your equipment, creating cleaner, better-tasting ice.

2. Eliminate Scale

Any leftover sediment and minerals after water becomes ice is called scale. These particles can be found on the sides of an ice machine, and if not cleaned regularly, they will build up. Adding a water filter reduces mineral levels and the amount of scale in your equipment.

3. Increase Efficiency

Filters help your ice maker run more effectively and lower utility costs when energy is conserved. Changing the filter every six months stops particles from interfering with the machine’s function. Filters also help the system maintain correct temperatures since there is nothing blocking air flow. Plus, when lines are clear, ice is made faster. 

4. Reduce Repairs

Filters are an essential component for a well-maintained ice machine. When equipment does not have to work as hard, there is less wear and tear, leading to a longer life span for internal parts. The risk of machine failure and rusting is also reduced.
