Ice Maker - Incoming Water Requirements

Incoming water to ice maker must be:

• Potable or fit for human consumption.
• Must have a conductivity of at least 10 microSiemens/cm.
• • For water with high mineral content, water filters are a partial help, as they will remove the suspended solids, but water treatment is needed for the dissolved solids, which are part of the water and cannot be filtered out. We recommend using a water filter on your water inlet line such as in-line filter GXRLQK.
  • Reverse Osmosis water can be supplied as long as the water conductivity is no less than 10 microSiemens/cm.
• Deionized water is not recommended and could damage the machine.
• Water pressure required: 20 psi min. to 80 psi max.
• Water temperature: 40°F min. to 90°F max.
• • Although the machine will function within the listed ranges, it works best at water temperatures between 50°F and 60°F.
• Recommended water supply tubing is 1/4" OD copper.  Stainless steel flex or reinforced PVC tube may also be used.
