Filteringandtreatingwater

In most areas it will be beneficial to filter or treat the water being supplied to the ice machine. It can improve the reliability of the machine, reduce water system maintenance and produce the best quality of ice.

The installation of a polyphosphate feeder will generally reduce scale build-up and the ice machine will require less frequent cleaning.

Municipal water systems are generally treated with chlorine to maintain a safe drinkable water supply. Activated carbon filters will sufficiently remove the residual chlorine from the water to reduce surface staining of stainless steel materials in the ice machine.

For more information on filtering and treating the water, see the dealer from whom you purchased your ice maker or your authorized WhirlpooP service company.
