It is not just a visual fallacy - they really can get smaller over a period of time. It happens due to cold air moving over the cubes, which causes evaporation. This is normal phenomena and hence not to worry. See similar questions...

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.

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.

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. See similar questions...

There are many variables in how much Shrink Film will shrink, type of oven, temperature used, time; in general Shrink Film will shrink to about 50% or 60% of its original size. See similar questions...

You may try cleaning the ice cube trays with a vinegar-soaked cloth (be sure to wash and rinse them thoroughly before refilling). This will remove any residue from minerals in the water that can cause ice cubes to stick. If the water has high mineral contents, you may need to clean the trays every time you clean the refrigerator. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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

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. See similar questions...

Cloudy ice cubes are primarily caused by dissolved substances in the water. They can interfere with crystal formation, causing fractures and yielding a cloudy or milky appearance. Dissolved solids and gases, chlorine, and organic contaminants can give ice cubes a foul taste. Remember, also, that ice will absorb odors in your freezer. The Water Wise and Pure Water distillers reduce up to 99.9% of all Total Dissolved Solids, giving you crystal clear ice cubes. See similar questions...

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)) See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

Timbermate woodfiller appears to shrink or sink if you did not completely fill the hole you are repairing. We designed the woodfiller to fill every crack and crevice it encounters. Generally, you should apply Timbermate in layers that are ¼-inch thick. Allow Timbermate to dry completely between layers. See similar questions...

A minimum of 2'' (two inches) for the ice to stay solid and hold the weight of a 300lb person. For the municipal rinks, we recommend at least 3'' (three inches). NO! Neither the PVC tubing nor the specially composed polyethylene liner will affect the grass. The grass is dormant during the winter. The only way the grass is ruined is if you leave the plastic liner on the ground too long after the winter is over. See similar questions...
