That's the dumbest thing i've heard...water needs to be boiled first to make clear ice cubes.

This is pretty funny. I just read the webpage so I could read the whole
thread, to see who is boiling water for ice, but I posted to disagree
with the guy who said plastic hose was good enough.

Then I kept reading and found a guy who had the same attitude I do,
including that he too was at a party when the fridge hose started
leaking. What are the odds on that?

"My humidifier hose sprang a leak, and my friends ice cube hose did
also. Fortunately she was having a party in her basement when it
happened, or at least when the water started dripping through."

Turns out that one was me too! 14 years ago.


They really shouldn't include plastic tubing with those valves. It
encourages people to use them.
