Water

The quality of the water supplied to the ice machine
will have an impact on the time between cleanings
and ultimately on the life of the product. There are
two ways water can contain impurities: in
suspension or in solution. Suspended solids can be
filtered out. In solution or dissolved solids cannot
be filtered, they must be diluted or treated.
Scotsman filters:
A triple head filter is recommended. Either the
Scotsman SSM3 taste and odor filter system, or
the ADS-AP3 AquaPatrol system.
Water filters are recommended to remove
suspended solids. Some filters have treatment in
them for suspended solids. Check with a water
treatment service for a recommendation.
RO water. This machine can be supplied with
Reverse Osmosis water, but the water conductivity
must be no less than 10 microSiemens/cm.
Potential for Airborne Contamination
Installing an ice machine near a source of yeast or
similar material can result in the need for more
frequent sanitation cleanings due to the tendency
of these materials to contaminate the machine.
Most water filters remove chlorine from the water
supply to the machine which contributes to this
situation. Testing has shown that using a filter that
does not remove chlorine, such as the Scotsman
Aqua Patrol, will greatly improve this situation,
while the ice making process itself will remove the
chlorine from the ice, resulting in no taste or odor
impact. Additionally, devices intended to enhance
ice machine sanitation, such as the Scotsman
Aqua Bullet, can be placed in the machine to keep
it cleaner between manual cleanings.
Water Purge
Cube ice machines use more water than what ends
up in the bin as ice. While most water is used
during ice making, a portion is designed to be
drained out every cycle to reduce the amount of
hard water scale in the machine. That's known as
water purge, and an effective purge can increase
the time between needed water system cleaning.
In addition, this product is designed to
automatically vary the amount of water purged
based on the purity of the water supplied to it. The
water purge rate can also be set manually.
Adjustments of purge due to local water conditions
are not covered by warranty.
