We have supplied a de-ionising installation to various ice rinks with which they have now made the ice for the Curling season. they are also using de-ionised water for "flooding" and "pebbling".



The demand for water in an ice rink is for large volumes over a short period of time. A flow of at least 10 gallons per minute is we believe required.

The most noticeable changes in ice quality are:-

• Reduction of "Waxy Surface", in many cases elimination.
• Reduction of wet surface during skating sessions.
• Better ice for performance skating, ice hockey, speed skating and figure skating.
• Reduced abrasion - this particularly affects curling stones.

There is also a reduction in power requirements to make the ice. As this is affected by other factors, insulation of the building, location etc. it is not yet possible to quantify this.
