Do these drops also work on iced beverages(like crushed ice)/ ice?

When you use these drops you have to mix the chemicals, let them sit then when you add to water you also have to let it sit for awhile. I don't know if this answers your question but when I used it there was still ice and snow around and I had no problem so it should be ok with the cold.

If it could not penetrate the ice, the chemicals couldn't treat bacteria trapped inside of the ice.

Aqamira is water treatment. It kills germs in water. It would probably kill germs in fruit punch too. If you use treated water to make ice, then the germ-free water will turn into germ-free ice when frozen.

Based on the report on the Aquamira website (http://www.aquamira.com/consumer/aquamira-water-treatment-drops/using_cysts_final.pdf) the 30 min does not kill the bacteria (crypto/giardia) at 4 degrees C under the test conditions. The report doesn't consider longer time frames. This is also an old report (2000) and I don't know if there are newer studies out there.

Only if you treat the water at a proper temperature and then make it colder after the require treatment period.

I would defer to the other guy who said no ice. I've never tried, honestly, so I'm not sure.

I'm assuming you want to know if having some ice in your drink is safe. If the ice was made from untreated water, then these drops will not make it safe to consume. The only way to have safe ice is to use treated water to make the ice. Otherwise stick to the bottled beverages, and don't forget to wipe the rim before you put it in your mouth if it was in a bucket of ice.

Yes you can I have done it in a pinch but I wouldn't buy it for that reason as these will really water down your icing because they are a liquid.

I would have to look again. Don't think so. I use and like these drops. Thanks

They worked great in ice. They were in ice for 4 hours and they did not come off nor did the ink run or smudge. Will definitely order them again!

Yes. But I usually add crushed ice from my fridge just to go easy on and hopefully extend the life. It does great with that! I usually find slightly tilting at an angle helps, just make sure theres enough liquid to avoid a splash. Hope this helps.

Yes, as long as you have free flowing salt. I find it works best with Ice melt (not salt) as the size is more consistent.

I have not used them with hot beverages, only iced beverages. But I doubt if they will break.

They're for nothing. Just cut the tip of the vial really close to the top, so the drops that come out are very small. A little goes a long way. Ive used this product for 5 years, and I throw them in the garbage.

I use these to do the final freeze on ice cream which is thicker that water. I also use them to freeze ice cream liquid mix which is about like milk and they do not saturate before it freezes. They are quite sturdy - I'd say give it a shot and see what happens - allow a little room for expansion.

Yes, they can. If you intent to keep them permanently in your freezer, make sure that automatic defrosting system is working well.

I have not used the drops before. I back sweeten just before bottling by boiling water and adding brown sugar to the bottling bucket. Hope this helps.

Probably. But remember, as per there instructions, you cannot 'breakup' the ice while in bag. The bag may rip. so be sure that you use the frozen water in bag just as it has formed. For are first bag we dropped on floor to make the bag/ice formation more to our liking. The ice tore a small hole in bag.

I am not sure. We did pour it over crushed ice and it was good. Why not try? What' s thr worst that could happen?

I used them on a liter bottle of soda and worked well. I think they are for larger format bottles.

Absolutely. Do not expect these scoops to break up blocks of ice; they are substantial, but they are essentially bent stainless steel. They will not rust so you can leave them in a bucket of ice cubes in a freezer forever. But if this is something like a hotel ice machine I would recommend plastic scoops so you don't deal with humidity condensing/freezing on the scoops or the dreaded tongue to frozen metal thing.I am happy with my purchase for party use. :)

Yes. We put them on bottles that sat in a tub of ice water for several hours and they were great.

I have not tried to freeze them. And I don't think it would work very well. If the expanding liquid didn't break them, the extreme cold would probably make them more prone to crack
