Ice is mostly water — so the quality of water matters more than most people realise.
Using unfiltered water in ice can affect taste, smell, clarity, and even how ice melts.
What Happens When Water Isn’t Filtered?
Tap water often contains:
- Minerals
- Sediments
- Chlorine or treatment chemicals
When frozen, these impurities become trapped in the ice , leading to:
- Cloudy appearance
- Off-tastes in drinks
- Faster, uneven melting
Why Filtered Water Makes Better Ice
Filtered water removes impurities before freezing, resulting in:
- Clearer ice
- Cleaner taste
- More consistent freezing
- Better performance in drinks
This is especially important for premium cocktails, spirits, and mocktails where flavour balance matters.
The Blok Ice Standard
At Blok Ice, we use 5× filtered water before freezing. This ensures that the ice doesn’t interfere with the drink — it simply chills it.
No strange tastes. No cloudiness. Just clean, reliable ice.
