Just curious. Why are ice maker cubes way less dense

Why are ice maker cubes less dense than ones made the old-fashioned way in ice trays? Mine from the ice maker melt so much faster than the tray ones.

    I think it has more to do with the shape than anything Louise.

    My cousin noticed the same thing happening with her new freezer/ice maker. So she called the store she bought it from and they directed her to the manufacturer. The manufacturer told her it's a water-saving feature. Apparently most (all?) new ice makers are now built this way.

    If your fridge has a filter, check to see if it is due to be replaced. This happened to our ice cubes and replacing the filter fixed it.
