The No.1 Energy Saving Equipment for ice rinks

Eliminate the need for hot water when building and resurfacing the ice.

The REALice device forces the water to create an ordered Vortex movement inside the unit to separate the air bubbles from the water and crystalizes the lime particles. These changes created inside the REALice unit eliminates the need to use hot water to build or resurface the ice.

In short:

Avoid trickle-filling ice resurfacer – minimum static pressure 45 psi. Ensure blade is sharp and changed regularly. Shave ice with each flood. Build early-morning dry-shave into routine. Drive slowly to clean ice: NHL: 8-10 minutes, Olympic: 10-12 minutes. Reset brine temperature from 2-5°F higher with gradual 1°F increments. If indoor temperature in arena falls below freeezing, use REALice-treated tempered water. Use REALice hand-held for building ice, spot-maintenance and repairs. REALice-treated water never needs to be dumped: it will last for the next flood – even overnight. REALice water and normal water cannot be mixed: Don’t bypass the system.
