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.
Every resurfacing cycle begins with more incoming water.
The resource remains useful instead of leaving the operation.
Actual recovery varies by rink operation, resurfacing schedule, and system configuration.
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.
Fewer impurities interfere as the water freezes.
Reduced mineral content can improve glide.
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.
Lower fresh-water demand
Recovering resurfacer melt water means more of the rink's water can remain in circulation.
Longer blade intervals
Cleaner water can reduce the deposits that contribute to premature resurfacer blade wear.
Less heat load in the ice
Water with fewer impurities can support a higher ice-temperature setpoint and reduce system burden.
Operation stays observable
Automatic control, a local touchscreen, and remote monitoring keep system status available.
Compounding value
Water quality moves through the operation.
Research behind the system

Lex Aqua and All About Ice brings together a decade of research into water quality, ice formation, energy use, and the operating decisions that shape a skating surface.
