Water Service/Drains
WATER SUPPLY
Local water conditions may require treatment of the
water to inhibit scale formation, filter sediment, remove
chlorine, and improve taste and clarity
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
(80 psig-551.5 KPa) recommended pressure, obtain
a water pressure regulator from your KOOLAIRE
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.
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. Do not vent the condenser drain on
water-cooled models.
