Tips & Tricks
How to use the Ice3®
- Prior to first use, rinse with 125ml of vinegar per 1L of water.
- Fill to Max fill line.
- Place in freezer with cavities facing up (If you place other frozen items in the cavities you won't use up too much space in your freezer).
- When using in cooler or ice chest, place a small towel or paper towel under the Ice3® to soak up the "sweating" from moisture in ambient air that will condense on the exterior of the Ice3®.
- You can fill one of the Ice3® bottles 1/2 way; the other full and freeze, then top off in the morning with water before leaving - gives 2 litres of water to drink right away, lunch stays cold, and 2 litres more to drink as the ice melts through the day.
- After each use, wash exterior, rinse interior, fill and place back in freezer (it's ready to go then).
- Do not leave in direct sun (ice will melt faster, and eventually when the unit warms up, the water will get the plastic taste).
- If you are going quading with the Ice3®, make sure you tie unit securely to machine so it cannot bounce around.
How to keep ice longer in your cooler
- Bring cooler indoors before packing allows cooler to cool down if it was warm from being in sun or hot garage.
- Make sure Ice3® is good and frozen before use, we have found the longer the Ice3® is frozen, the longer it lasts (the ice inside will get colder).
- Pre chilling cans or freezing cooler contents (meats) helps ice last longer.
- Keep cooler lid tightly closed, minimize open/closing of cooler lid.
- We like to have separate cooler for beverages because it usually has multiple open/closings (12 or 24 times!).
