What's so good about having a water pump on my stand alone ice maker?What exactly does it do?
How should the discharge hose be routed to the drain of the ice maker?
I imagine there is also a filtration system on the ice maker so you get clean filtered chilled water on tap instead of buying bottled water or waiting for a filter jug to do its work.Though I find tap water cold enough and tastes ok
The ones that make cubes, not slices make a sheet of ice by continuously pumping the water over a flat evaporator. Then once the ice builds up it reverses the hot gas and the slab melts off falling on the cutting grid which cuts it in to cubes. Those that operate this way are much faster and produce more ice. No pump, no ice.
