Water Service/Drains

WATER SUPPLY

Local water conditions may require treatment of the
water to inhibit scale formation, filter sediment, and
remove chlorine odor and taste.
If you are installing a water filter system, refer to
the Installation Instructions supplied with the filter
system for ice making water inlet connections.

WATER INLET LINES

Follow these guidelines to install water inlet lines:
• Do not connect the ice machine to a hot water
supply. Be sure all hot water restrictors installed for
other equipment are working. (Check valves on sink
faucets, dishwashers, etc.)
• If water pressure exceeds the maximum
recommended pressure, 80 psig (5.5 bar) obtain a
water pressure regulator from your distributor.
• Install a water shut-off valve for ice making potable
water.
• Insulate water inlet lines to prevent condensation.

DRAIN CONNECTIONS

Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines
to prevent drain water from flowing back into the ice
machine and storage bin:
• Drain lines must have a 1.5-inch drop per 5 feet of run
(2.5 cm per meter), and must not create traps.
• The floor drain must be large enough to
accommodate drainage from all drains.
• Run separate bin and ice machine drain lines. Insulate
them to prevent condensation.
• Vent the bin and ice machine drain to the
atmosphere.
