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. Water can
contain impurities either 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. Water lters are recommended
to remove suspended solids. Some lters have
treatment in them for dissolved 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.
