Filtering and treating water
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
Municipal water systems are generally treated with chlorine to maintain a safe potable water supply. Activated carbon filters will sufficiently remove the residual chlorine from the water to reduce surface staining of stainless steel mate- rials in the ice machine.
For information on filtering and treating the water, see the dealer from whom you pur- chased your ice maker or your WHIRLPOOL Franchised
