Ice-Making System Cleaning 

Minerals that are removed from water during the freezing cycle will eventually 
form a hard, scaly deposit in the water system. Cleaning the system regularly 
helps remove the mineral scale buildup. How often you need to clean the 
system depends on how hard your water is or how effective your filtration may 
be. With hard water of 15 to 20 grains/ gallon (4 to 5 grains/liter), you may 
need to clean the system as often as every 3 months
