Got a call yesterday, ice machine isn’t working. Show up and it’s dropping real thin ice , water is flowing over the grill but as I’m watching the water slows then stops, no water in the tray, I add some water in a cup and pour it in, water starts flowing. So I think, it’s either the water pump or the sensor that reports water depth in the water collection tray has gone bad. Check sensor it’s almost brand new (machine is manufactured in 2024) I clean what I can. I unplug machine and power the pump itself with 115, pump works and pushes water. I run diagnostics on the machines computer T1-T4 (thermostatic sensors) that are all running as they should be.

Replug in , wait a few minutes, ice harvests 3 or 4 times , the 4 time ice was real thin looking , the last harvest #5 the ice didnt drop . Let me know what yall think .

TLDR; inconsistent ice harvesting

Water cooled condensers on a water tower (8ton) holds approx 25-30 gallons. Problems with scaling due to poor water conditions from the municipality. Could you leave a small amount of descaler in the system without damaging it?

So leaving approximately a gallon of descaler in system?
