hOmeLabs Entrained Air / Mineral Content in Ice

Ice cubes are cloudy or white instead of clear

Possible Causes

High mineral content in tap water, Rapid freezing due to very cold evaporator, Air bubbles from pump circulation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Note: Cloudy ice is usually not a fault but a result of water quality.

Improvement tips:

  • Use filtered or distilled water: Lower mineral content produces clearer ice.
  • Allow water to stand: Let water sit for a few minutes before filling the reservoir to allow some air to escape.
  • Regular descaling: Keep the evaporator clean to ensure even freezing.

No component replacement is typically required unless cloudiness is accompanied by bad taste or odor, in which case follow cleaning procedures.
