WATER SYSTEM
The water system provides:
• Fresh water for ice production
• Water recirculation as ice is produced
• Water removal after ice is produced
The water system circulates water to freeze
into ice on the evaporator during the freeze
cycle. During the harvest cycle, it drains away
minerals and contaminates. During the clean
cycle, cleaning solution is circulated to clean
the system of minerals and contaminates.
The hardness of the water supplied to the ice
maker will affect the quality of the ice that is
produced. It may also affect the operation of
the water system.
A water softener, or poly phosphate feeder, will
not cure all of the problems associated with hard
water, but they can be used to reduce scale
buildup in the ice maker. NOTE: Some poly
phosphate feeders will cause a slime buildup
in the water system when the water supply has
a low mineral content.
The ice maker’s water system is shown on
next page.
