To get clear ice you can chew you need a special equipment and purified bottled water.

We are spoiled here. We live in an area with extremely hard city water. Having a softener is almost a must...but softened water tastes horrible. Years ago, we were given a Reverse Osmosis unit by an Aunt who had purchased one for herself. So we've had good water for drinking, ice, cooking, etc. since 1996 or so.
When we travel to visit kids etc. we have to buy gallons of good water. I can't even boil pasta or potatoes in our tap water, I can't stand the taste.
We have the RO unit hooked up to our freezer ice maker and fridge water dispenser, and a tap on our sink as well
Maintenance on the RO unit isn't bad...new filters every 6 months, and we take the tank in once a year to have it sanitized and re-pressurized.
I can't chew ice...it kills my teeth, and isn't good for them either according to my dentist. Hubby chews ice sometimes, but he likes smoothies too. I can't stand them.
