Ice Machine Head Section Water
Supply and Drains
POTABLE WATER SUPPLY
The ice machine must be connected to a potable water
supply only. Local water conditions may require
treatment of the water to inhibit scale formation, filter
sediment, remove chlorine, and improve taste and
clarity.
POTABLE 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 of 80 psig (5.5 Bar),
obtain a water pressure regulator from your
Manitowoc Distributor.
• Install a water shut-off valve and union for both the
ice making and condenser water lines.
• Insulate water inlet lines to prevent condensation.
Important
If you are installing a Manitowoc water filter system,
refer to the Installation Instructions supplied with the
filter system for ice making water inlet connections.
