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.

Energy, Costs and Emission savings with REALice®
Ice rinks consume vast amounts of energy and therefore contribute to global warming. The REALice® System will enable you to easily create a “Green Ice Rink” and reduce your emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) by 18-50 tonnes per rink per year and therefore quickly reducing your arena’s carbon footprint.
REALice saves electricity (hydro). Because of the changed properties of the water, which becomes denser and freezes faster, using less energy to freeze and to stay frozen too, operators are required to reset their brine/glycol settings 1-3°C warmer. This results in tremendous energy savings and extends the life cycle of the refrigeration equipment. The electricity savings average 10% – 12 % per year.
By using the REALice treated water there won’t be any deep scratches or holes, whether through playing ice hockey or figure skating since the ice will become much more compact and resistant. This means that there is no need to flood the ice with as much water as before.
So i.e. only 500 litre instead of 800 litre.
