Effects on hard water

REALice eliminates or significantly reduces lime scale in water.

 

Soluble forms of calcium such as calcium bicarbonate (CaHCO3)2 are transformed into calcite and aragonite, which do not attach to pipes, nozzles or other warm surfaces and which are also removed.

Calcium bicarbonate (CaHCO3)2 in the water is forced to precipitate out in the form of calcite (CaCO3) primarily aragonite crystals which have minimal scaling properties does not precipitate on surfaces.

Another advantage is that the treated water also acts upon old limescale deposits, which are reduced and eventually vanish after a period of use.

HOW TO PREVENT LIME SCALING THROUGH REALICE®

With no moving parts, the REALice system is powered by water pressure alone. Water forced through the REALice system spins like a tornado.

The tornado force changes the shape of the lime scale crystals, they’re no longer able to cling to metal surfaces, like inside of pipes or the resurfacing machine.

  • In Williams Lake we have very hard and mineralized water and we have found that the ice is as good as before the Real Ice installation if not better. We have also noticed our ice stays much clearer than before. We flood with 57-60 degree F water and have not had any problems at all since the system was installed. The cost savings on our utilities is also quite noticeably better and this is a big positive when you deal with your politicians or directors.
