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 ltered out.
In solution or dissolved solids cannot be ltered, they
must be diluted or treated.
Scotsman lters:
A triple head lter is recommended. Either the
Scotsman SSM3 taste and odor lter system, or the
ADS-AP3 AquaPatrol system.
Water lters are recommended to remove suspended
solids. Some lters 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 lters remove chlorine from the water
supply to the machine which contributes to this
situation. Testing has shown that using a lter 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.
