Filtering and treating
water
In most areas, it will be beneficial to filter or treat the water
being supplied to the ice machine. It can improve the
reliability of the machine, reduce water maintenance, and
produce the best quality of ice.
The installation of a polyphosphate feeder will generally
reduce scale buildup and the ice machine will require less
frequent cleaning.
Municipal water systems are generally treated with chlorine
to maintain a safe, potable water supply. Activated carbon
filters will sufficiently remove the residual chlorine from the
water and reduce surface staining of stainless steel materi-
als in the ice machine.
