Filtering and treating water
In some areas it may be beneficial to filter
or treat the water being supplied to the ice
maker. It can improve the reliability of
the machine, reduce water system mainte-
nance, and produce the best quality of ice.
The installation of a polyphosphate feeder
will generally reduce scale buildup and
the ice maker will require less frequent
cleaning.
Municipal water systems are generally
treated with chlorine to maintain a safe drink-
able water supply. Activated carbon filters will
sufficiently remove the residual chlorine from
the water to reduce surface staining of stain-
less steel materials in the ice maker.
For more information on filtering and treat-
ing the water, see the dealer from whom you
purchased your ice maker.
