Water Treatment

The Pro-Ice system is specifically designed to provide high-quality water for the ice making industry. Benefits include increased ice clarity, low maintenance and higher surface temperatures.

Using state-of-the-art reverse osmosis technology, our Pro-Ice systems safely and economically demineralizes your flood water, substantially improving ice quality and reducing operating costs. Customers include: NHL, Olympics, College, Municipal, Speed Skating and Curling facilities.

Ice resurfacing accounts for about 12% of the total refrigeration plant design load and operating cost. Using Pro-Ice water allows the facility to maintain higher ice surface temperatures and a thinner ice sheet, thereby significantly reducing conductive load.

Our Pro-Ice systems removes impurities (minerals, organics) from the flood water, which leads to a "world class" sheet of ice. Demineralized water alone does not guarantee a better ice surace or lower operating costs. We complement this technology with the professional support of experienced engineers and ice makers. We work with and train your operators on how to properly utilize this equipment for an ice rink application.
