Water Limitations
An ice machine is a food manufacturing plant;
it takes a raw material, water, and turns it into
a food product, ice. The purity of the water is
very important in obtaining pure ice and in
maximizing product life. This section is not
intended as a complete resource for water
questions, but it does offer these general
recommendations:
1. Filter the water used to produce ice. That is
the water going to the "potable" water
connection. Water filters vary in ability and
function. Install one that filters out suspended
solids to a dimension of 5 microns or smaller.
The finer the filter the better, but finer filters
will clog sooner than course ones. It may be
necessary to add a course filter ahead of the
fine filter to prolong filter life.
2. Check with a water treatment specialist for
a water test, and recommendations regarding
filters and treatment.
