Background
The aim of deploying the technology was to improve ice quality, reduce water consumption and lower the operating costs associated with maintaining the ice surface. Before it started using HIPPOTRON® ICE technology, the rink cooled to −8 °C.
Solution
Piešťany Ice Rink has been using HIPPOTRON® ICE technology since the 2025/2026 season. Installation and maintenance were straightforward and required no major building work, energy demand is minimal according to the operator, and no significant technical problems have been recorded during operation.
Results
~10%saving in water consumption
−8 → −5.5 °Ccooling temperature (before → now)
„We are very satisfied with the results achieved using HIPPOTRON® ICE technology. We have already recommended it to other ice rinks as well.“
