Operational impact

The value shows up across the rink.

Lex Aqua changes the input to the ice-making process. Recovering and treating water can reduce incoming demand while supporting ice quality, refrigeration efficiency, equipment life, and day-to-day visibility.

Water impact

Use the water more than once.

Instead of treating resurfacer snow melt as the end of the line, Lex Aqua makes it the beginning of the next cycle.

Traditional path Use once.
Fresh water → Ice → Waste

Every resurfacing cycle begins with more incoming water.

Lex Aqua path Recover. Treat. Return.
Snow melt → Clean water ↻ Ice

The resource remains useful instead of leaving the operation.

Actual recovery varies by rink operation, resurfacing schedule, and system configuration.

Downstream effect Cleaner water is a better starting point.

Ice performance

What goes into the ice changes the ice.

Removing more minerals and impurities gives crystal formation a cleaner path and supports a surface built for daily use.

Easier crystal formation

Fewer impurities interfere as the water freezes.

Lower surface friction

Reduced mineral content can improve glide.

More resistant to heavy use

Better ice can mean less loose snow during operation.

Operational effects

One cleaner input.
Several useful outcomes.

Water quality does not stop at the tank. It can affect the equipment, energy demand, and everyday decisions behind the rink.

01
Incoming water

Lower fresh-water demand

Recovering resurfacer melt water means more of the rink's water can remain in circulation.

02
Equipment life

Longer blade intervals

Cleaner water can reduce the deposits that contribute to premature resurfacer blade wear.

03
Refrigeration

Less heat load in the ice

Water with fewer impurities can support a higher ice-temperature setpoint and reduce system burden.

04
Visibility

Operation stays observable

Automatic control, a local touchscreen, and remote monitoring keep system status available.

Operational impact

Recover the water.
Improve what follows.

Water Less waste
Ice Cleaner formation
Energy Lower burden
Operations More visibility
