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.

Important

If you are installing a Manitowoc Tri-Liminator water filter system, refer to the Installation Instructions supplied with the filter system for ice making water inlet connections.

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 (80 psig), obtain a water pressure regulator from your Manitowoc distributor.

•Install a water shut-off valve for the ice making water line.

•Insulate water inlet line 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:

•The ice machine comes equipped with a vinyl drain hose for use with floor drains.

•The floor drain must be large enough to accommodate drainage from all drains.

•Insulate the bin drain to prevent condensation.

•Drain lines must have a 1″ (2.5 cm) drop per 40″ (1 meter) of run, and must not create traps.

Important

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires that all water-cooled models must be connected only to a closed loop, cooling tower system.
