Ice makers & flakers

Clean water results in bright, crystal-clear clarity for ice, impressing your guests and preventing chalky or metallic tastes from ruining soft drinks or cocktails. Our filtration range helps you to improve drink quality while protecting your ice machines to deliver a five-star service.

Achieve perfect clarity with your ice.

Hard water has more of an impact than just altering the taste of your drinks. Not only does water hardness affect the speed of freezing, it also results in a cloudy, opaque finish that looks much less appealing to your guests. 

As a bar or restaurant, you want to provide the best experience. The quality of your ice is just one factor. Hard water causes limescale, which directly damages your ice machines and can lead to costly repairs. At WaterCare, we provide filtration solutions that give you the clarity and longevity you need to keep your customers coming back for more.

High purity for crystal-clear results.

100% recyclable filters, facilitated by WaterCare.

Protect your ice makers from limescale.

Prevent negative flavours from hard water.

What is an ice machine water filter?

An ice machine water filter purifies the water that feeds into your ice maker or flaker, removing impurities that cause cloudy, chalky-tasting ice. By eliminating hard water before it reaches your machine, our filters help protect your equipment while ensuring every cube or flake has crystal-clear clarity.
