Ice machine filters are essential.

Most failures within ice machines are caused by water.  Tap water is filled chemicals such as chlorine to eliminate a variety of bacteria and algae from the water to make it safe for consumption.  Tap water can also be high in calcium which hardens over time.  These and other chemicals can cause damage to the internal mechanics of your ice machine.  Ice machine filters will remove most of these harmful substances from the water which continually runs through your ice machine.  This will not only prolong the life of your ice machine but also minimise the necessity of repairs which will in turn save you time and money.  Ice machine filters are therefore indispensable when utilising an ice machine. There are many different types of ice machine filters on the market such as carbon block filters or Everpure water filters.  It is essential to choose the right filter for your make and model of machine.  Also ensure that the filter you are using is capable of handling the capacity of water that is running through your ice machine.  If your ice machine is only for home use, it will require a smaller filter than the ice machine for a hotel or restaurant.  The filter must be installed correctly for maximum efficiency and so as not do any damage to the ice machine.

When you buy your filter, ensure that it comes with correct installation and operating instructions.  Taking good care of your filter will not only prolong the life of your filter but also ensure that the water is cleaner.

It is important to note that ice machine filters will also benefit your health.  The water used to make the ice is as pure as the water you drink.  If you filter your tap water or drink only mineral or prepared water, it only makes sense that your ice machine water should be filtered too.

If you have an ice machine, make sure that you are filtering your water.  To find ice machine filters that are suitable for you and your ice machine please visit www.icesystems.co.za or call us on 010-590-0609.
