Will soft water make clearer ice cubes?

Removing calcium and magnesium hardness minerals from the water has little effect on the quality of ice prepared in the home. The reason is that softening the water does not reduce the total mineral concentration in the water. It is the total dissolved minerals in the water that cause poor ice. Some filters can be helpful in removing iron">

Removing calcium and magnesium hardness minerals from the water has little effect on the quality of ice prepared in the home. The reason is that softening the water does not reduce the total mineral concentration in the water. It is the total dissolved minerals in the water that cause poor ice. Some filters can be helpful in removing iron, turbidity, tastes and odors from water used for ice-making.   The use of polyphosphates is an economical method of treating water used in typical restaurant ice-making units. The polyphosphates keep the minerals in the water dispersed and in this way minimize the cloudy appearance of ice cubes. Today, the most effective way to provide clear ice to home owners is with the use of filters or the reverse osmosis system to produce very low total dissolved solids water. Feeding filtered or RO water to a refrigerator's ice-maker will provide high-quality, very clear ice. It is necessary to reduce total minerals below 10 grains per gallon for high quality ice.
