That Odor? Yeah…That's Your Ice.
Consider for a moment that you invited your new neighbors over for dinner to get to know them and let the kids play. The temperature seems to be rising even though the summer sun should be setting. You get out your nicest glasses and set out a pitcher of sweet tea with just the perfect amount of sugar. The last thing on your mental list before joining your guests on the deck is to fill the ice bucket.
And that’s when you smell…something. A moldy odor of some sort. Looking into the ice bucket, you remember washing it just this morning. But what is that smell?
Fortunately, we can tell you exactly what that smell is. It is your ice made in your freezer. Having been on the other end of numerousSugar Land plumbing calls, we know this smell.
How can ice smell, you ask.
It has to do with the ice maker in your freezer. When your refrigerator and freezer unit was installed, likely a simple water line was connected to the ice maker. Or you could have had a filter installed that is backed up by sand, rust or other particles. Ultimately, this line can accumulate a lot of unwanted organic chemicals. And these unwanted chemicals don’t hide from your taste buds or your nose!
If you thought your waters lines were free of nasty organic chemicals, think again! Lead and chlorine are two of these organic chemicals that can hide in the water being supplied to your ice maker. You only know they are there because your ice smells antique and tastes even worse.
There is a Rosenburg plumbing and Sugar Land plumbingsolution to the unpleasantness of odor and a way to avoid embarrassment with your new neighbors, too!
In line water filters work to purify the water coming into your ice maker. These filters literally block the nasty chemicals from entering your system so that the ice produced is pure and tasteless. That’s the way ice should taste, isn’t it?
The other goods news is that filters are easy to install for a technician experienced in Rosenburg plumbing repairs.
Our technicians at Howell Services come prepared with a complete water filtration installation kit, which includes all hardware, a brand new cartridge and mounting components so, your new unit won’t be hanging in midair behind your refrigerator.
The process our certified and professional technicians use for installation is five steps. First, tubing is routed to the cold water line. Second, the water supply line is connected to the tubing. Third, the water filter is assembled and installed. Forth, the water filter is connected to the cold water pipe. The fifth and final step is to power up the brand new water filter to the electrical source.
Once this five step process is completed, you will have clean and odor-free ice to serve to your family and guests soon.
While this process can be completed quickly, it may not be something every homeowner wants to deal with on their own. If you’d rather have a Sugarland plumbing company install a brand new in line water filtration system for you, we’ll send one of our trusted experts out to you quickly.
