&nbspoes anyone have any information regarding the **** smell ice we have?

A guy I know said the ice makers are hooked up via long black rubber hoses and that the hoses are the reason for the smell and black particles in the ice? Don't know if true or not, but I did have black **** in the bottom of my cup during Auburn game last year, and got a piece of ice from the drink next to me, and it had black **** in the cube.

If our ice makers are hooked up via 20th century rubber hose technology, has anyone heard of some possible upgrades to tie them in via hard water piping? This cannot be that difficult to do. I will gladly go up before the season starts and do it myself, as I just recently finished re-plumbing an old new orleans home. Don't know how many there are, but shouldn't take more than a day to hook them all up. We can spend millions on an expansion but cannot provide clean, smell free ice to the ticket holders. Simply unacceptable.

The smell is from the cups. Last year I only noticed it in the black cups and not the white... and only once I got near the bottom of the cup.

The black flecks are from the ice - most likely from manganese buildup in the plumbing, it's harmless and is found in all municipal water supplies but can build up in lower pressure systems which are common for ice machines.

I find that copious amounts of cheap whiskey covers the smell nicely.
