Our Brilliance® nugget ice is made from bits of compacted flakes of ice, making them softer than our cubes. Nugget ice made by a Scotsman ice machine will have a lower mineral content than the water it was made from. This is due to the method of making ice. Purer water will freeze first in the ice making molds. The reason for this is that anything dissolved in water lowers the water’s freezing temperature. This concentrates most of the impurities that make it through your home filtration system into the ice machine water reservoir.

Due to this, the water reservoir may form hard deposits known as scale. Eventually, builtup mineral scale can shorten machine life. To keep the machine operating properly, these impurities or minerals will have to be regularly dissolved by an acid cleaning, using Scotsman Ice Machine Scale Remover.

SCOTSMAN RECOMMENDS CLEANING YOUR ICE MACHINE AT LEAST EVERY 6 MONTHS TO KEEP YOUR UNIT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY
