Cloudy or hollow cubes typically indicate mineral buildup from Marin County's hard water supply, clogging the water distribution system or evaporator plate. Low water pressure, a failing water inlet valve, or incorrect freeze cycle timing can also cause this issue. Our technicians descale the entire water circuit, check inlet valves, and calibrate freeze/harvest cycles to restore crystal-clear, solid ice production.

Yes—Marin County's mineral-rich water supply causes scale accumulation that restricts water flow, insulates evaporator plates, and forces compressors to overwork. Over time, untreated buildup leads to compressor failure, cracked evaporator plates, and control board damage. Regular descaling and water filtration maintenance prevent costly replacements. We recommend quarterly cleanings for high-volume operations and can install or service water filtration systems.
