Most of us just do it — we fill the ice tray with tap water. Hey, I’m guilty too. But tap water carries minerals, chlorine, and sometimes even sediment. These little guys create cloudy, brittle ice that melts fast and leaves white floaties in your drink.
Ever noticed that weird, chemical aftertaste in your soda? That’s the chlorine from tap water, chilling out on your ice cube. Not exactly refreshing, is it?
If your tap water has high mineral content (hard water), your ice maker will also start building up scale — limescale crusts that clog the machine. And guess what? That’s a repair bill waiting to happen. Yikes.
