No one local here can provide RO ice consistently so this recommendation is incredibly clutch

Ya just make it yourself if your water sucks and youâre going for licensed product.

Yea weâre a licensed facility so RO was the only option I was considering in that aspect. We have a good RO system set up for our grow that isnât being used to itâs full potential so I think weâre gonna run a line from that system to the wash room and hook it up to a reservoir tank and ice machine
Dont use ice
That involves a jacketed washer and chiller but over time the roi is there to justify it and you donât need to use ice which is inherently dirtier than water due to ice machines

I prefer a chilled resi that way I can recirculate water through it till ready for wash & use mainly water with very minimal ice other than cooling the wash vessel & then removing a majority of the ice. This way ypure just using ice chilled water & your vortex to not beat up material as bad. Less impurities to wash out, less ice useage.

Ya thats definitely the way to go if you have the budget. I understand ROI ending up positive but some labs canât afford a $30k jacketed system
And yesâŚuse minimal ice
Minimal clean ice
This is easier if you have a cold room

So far Iâve saved money on the stuff that I can afford to which gives me some room in the budget for a cold room. We have a good RO system in cultivation that isnât being used to itâs full potential so I think weâre gonna run a line to our washroom from it, run that into a reservoir tank and ice machine so we can keep the ice to a minimum

Is there any potential of the water chiller leaking any sort of oil/lubricants into the wash water? I started out with the Pelle Polare solventless book and think they were warning against this. I can grab the book and pull up the exact quote in a couple hours. That book in general does have some conflicting information though, being a mashup of recommendations from like 15 different hash makers.
I have not experienced this personally. These are the chillers used in a lot of commercial grow facilities too

I just make hash when the weather is 35 degrees. No ice lol
Whoops, took a day just to find the book! Haha so I see theyâre not unbiased in the matter if theyâre trying to sell you some equipment by telling you to avoid in line chillers. This is the 30k equipment @Extractionperson2.0 had mentioned huh?

We actually tried to skimp by buying some stick-on neoprene coating ourself but itâs starting to come loose! Might be worth splurging on the giant beer cozy
