Reuse the water. Refine the ice.
LexAqua creates a closed-loop water system for ice arenas, recovering water from resurfacing operations, cleaning it, and returning it to the ice-making process.
What normally leaves the rink becomes part of the next flood.
Ice resurfacing creates snow. That snow becomes water. LexAqua captures that resource, cleans it and prepares it to return to the ice-making process rather than treating it as a one-time-use by-product.
Recover
Water originating from resurfacer snow is captured through the arena's melting process.
Purify
Filters and UV treatment help remove contaminants before the water is reintroduced to the process.
Condition
The cleaned water is reheated and prepared for use by the resurfacing equipment.
Reuse
The water returns to arena operations, creating a repeatable closed-loop cycle.
A continuous cycle built around the way rinks already operate.
LexAqua is designed to become part of the arena's existing resurfacing workflow instead of introducing an entirely separate operational process.
Snow enters the melting pit
After resurfacing, collected snow is deposited into the arena's snow-melting system where it returns to water.
The water is filtered
The recovered water moves through the LexAqua treatment process to remove unwanted material before reuse.
UV treatment adds another layer
UV treatment is incorporated into the purification process to further prepare the recycled water.
Water is heated and returned
Once treated, the water is reheated and supplied back for use in the ice resurfacing process.
Infrastructure that quietly works in the background.
Once integrated into the facility, LexAqua manages the water-recycling process automatically while still allowing operators to take manual control when required.
More than water savings.
Improving the water used to build the ice can influence everything from resource consumption to resurfacer performance and the characteristics of the finished sheet.
Reduce water consumption
Recycling creates another useful cycle for water that would otherwise leave the ice-making process.
Cleaner water
Removing minerals and impurities helps prevent them from continually re-entering newly built ice.
Support ice formation
Fewer impurities can help improve the formation of ice crystals during the freezing process.
Lower ice friction
Reducing mineral content can contribute to a cleaner ice structure and lower friction at the surface.
Support blade life
Cleaner water can help reduce how quickly resurfacer blades become dull, extending blade-change intervals.
Reduce loose snow
Cleaner, more durable ice can better withstand demanding use and help reduce loose snow generation.
Know what the system is doing without standing beside it.
LexAqua combines automated equipment with digital visibility, giving operators a clearer picture of the recycling process locally and remotely.
Engineered to become part of the arena.
LexAqua's Kokkola Ice Arena installation combines the recycling equipment with facility mechanical infrastructure to create an integrated water-reuse system for day-to-day rink operation.
The same water can do more than one job.
LexAqua transforms a routine by-product of ice resurfacing into a reusable resource — creating a smarter water cycle built specifically around ice arena operations.
