We are often asked, how does REALice compare to using hot water? That is a good question and we thought it is best answered with a comparison chart – as shown above.

Ice Quality

REALice enables you to make great ice at much lower temperatures. The quality of ice produced is equal to using hot water or even better. Some famous users even prefer the ice made with REALice as you can find out from this short interview from the Mayor’s Megawatt Challenge webinar that was recorded in May this year.

Less maintenance

REALice also reduces maintenance on the ice. Watch Cam Coulter from the Mayfield Recreation Centre talk about saving time maintaining his ice.

Reduced Compressor Run-times

Because of the changed properties in the water, the brine/glycol settings have to be reset by 1°C – 3°C. This means less compressor run time. Watch Michael Knight from the Sardis Sports Complex talks about reduced run-time by 5000 hours per year.

Electricity Savings

In 2019, the Town of Caledon, ON performed an M&V on their REALice installation and assessed that 84,188 kWh of electricity is saved. Cristina Guido, the Acting Manager of Energy for the Town of Caledon presents her findings here.

Reduced Greenhouse Gases

With reduced natural gas and electric consumption, there are CO2 savings. Depending on the Province or Territory and the source of electricity the reduction per sheet per year ranges from 18 – 50t.
