Commercially made ice is stirred as it is being frozen and household ice is not. Without mixing, many more ice crystals form and air is trapped in the ice. Light rays are distorted by these crystals and this distortion gives home frozen ice a cloudy appearance. Dissolved minerals (calcium and magnesium) in the water also tend to settle out when the water freezes. You may notice these minerals floating in your glass when you use the ice cubes. Back to top

Flakes are caused by calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate precipitates. When hard water is frozen or boiled, the carbonates in the water come out of solution, appearing as whitish flakes and attaching to containers. This calcium is the same as that in dairy products and is harmless. Soft water does not have any calcium or magnesium carbonate deposits, but the use of soft water is not recommended.

Water is generally safe in urban areas and established hotels/resorts, but for first-time African travelers this may cause abdominal upsets. So it is best to drink sealed bottled water, which is available throughout Kenya and Tanzania ? hotels, lodges and camps. This same sealed bottled or purified water is what is used by hotels, lodges and camps to make ice cubes, so they are safe; but if you are not comfortable doing so, avoid the ice cubes.

The BI series and Combo® Model ice makers that do not require a drain produce crescent-shaped pieces of ice that are 1/2" W x 3/4" H x 2-1/2" L. The CLR2160 and CLRCO2175 clear ice maker models produce cubes 7/8" W x 7/8" H x 7/8" L with a dimple on one side.

All restaurants and almost all the little roadside stands serve bottled water and clean factory-made ice cubes. Vegetables are washed in tap water, but are safe when cooked. You may want to avoid eating raw ones.

Inorganic chemicals such as those that cause hardness may precipitate (form a solid, and settle out) as ice melts. This is not toxic. [Return]

Using ice cubes is not the best way to cool water, since it can alter water's taste and composition. Mineral water should be cooled in a 'glacette' or ice bucket.

The Koolatron cooler was designed to function as a cooler and does not have ice cube facilities. Operating in an air temperature below 65 degrees F. the contents could become frozen slowly or frozen foods could be kept solid for some time. Most Koolatrons are not thermostatically controlled and run at maximum cold. ......( ask about the Koolatron "Arcti-Kool Freezer", model F86 ) ((Specialty coolers with thermostatic controls are available for Medical, Scientific and other Premium applications))

The CUBEs are made out of veneer sheet goods (plywood) and hardwoods. The sides, top panel and drawer fronts are cut from veneer sheet goods and all the corners and drawer pulls are made form solid oak. The cabinet is assembled by hand using glue blocks and dowels. The reason we do not make the CUBEs entirely out of solid oak is because of the tendency for solid oak to split, warp and crack. This does not happen with sheet goods. Your CUBE looks like solid oak but doesn't act like it.

It's actually not that cloudy here - we just have lots of nice, white, puffy clouds on most days, but sometimes our camera capture image technology can make them seem more pronounced than they really are. Top

The BUSTER Food Cube is made for large dog breeds, weight over 10 kg, eg labrador, boxer, collie. The Buster Mini Cube is made for small dog breeds, weight under 10 kg, eg dachshund, chihuahua, pekingese.

Your detail levels MUST be set to Highest in order for D2_3DFX to work properly. Run your original Descent2.exe and set your detail levels to "Highest", then re-run D2_3DFX. That should fix the problem. Note also that you should set your Screen Resolution to 640x480 in the original Descent2.exe - this will prevent D2_3DFX from switching to a really small screen size whenever you make changes to your settings.

We do fly in cloudy conditions, depending on the height of the clouds. It adds to the beauty of the scenery, and often reduces the glare sometimes associated with bright unobstructed sunlight. top

YES! 70% to 80% of UV radiation can pass through thin clouds. On cloudy days your skin might feel cooler and because of this it is less likely you will notice you are getting burned, which can become quite a problem. It is true that the body needs a small amount of sunlight in order to produce vitamin D, however much less than it takes to get a tan.

There can be nearly an infinite number of reasons for water problems. Assuming the water has been ok up till now, some of the more common possibilities are, residual soap in swimwear, makeup or other personal hygiene products. Consider what has happened, or who has used the spa most recently. If the foam goes away shortly after turning off the jets, the cause is probably a saturation of total dissolved solids.

The CUBEs can be stacked and many of our customers order several and stack them on top of each other. We do not recommend that you stack more than 2 high. For stacking we recommend you purchase our stacking blocks available on the accesories page of our website.
