If you're set to sip cold drinks any time, you might think: Can I use any kind of water in my ice maker?
👉 Short answer: No. Not all water is the same—and your ice (and machine) will be better off if you pick wisely.
Let’s break it down. 👇
💧 Tap Water Isn’t Always Your Friend
True, it’s easy. But tap water may have:
✅ Hard minerals (calcium, magnesium)
✅ Chlorine and chemical residues
✅ Microorganisms or sediment
These don’t just hit taste—they can make your ice maker die sooner. Hard stuff gets stuck in the machine, causing blockages or rust over time.
In short? Using tap water without a filter might lead to foggy ice, odd taste, and more fix-ups later on.

🚰 Filtered or Distilled Water = Better Ice, Less Mess
To get the best performance (and the best-looking cubes), aim for:
✔️ Filtered water – Removes chlorine, sediment, and odors
✔️ Distilled water – Purest form, but check your machine’s manual first
✔️ Bottled spring water – Clean and consistent, though more expensive long-term
Filtered water is your best shot for pure taste and keeping your machine going long.
❄️ Cleaner Water = Cleaner Ice
Keep in mind: You’re not just making ice—you’re going to drink that water.
Poor water quality = murky cubes with funky flavors.
Clean water = crystal-clear, restaurant-quality ice at home.
Want to keep your machine working like new? Pair quality water with regular cleaning (about once a week for frequent use).
