National Chemicals Nickel-Safe Ice Machine Cleaner, 16 oz. bottle

Use this Ice Maker Cleaner to make sure your ice maker is producing the best looking and best tasting ice. This concentrated environmentally friendly formula can be used to remove algae growth, lime scale and the build up caused by hard water. It can be applied to nearly all the components of your commercial ice maker including the ice holding bins, cooling trays, water trough, curtain, distribution tubes, and more. According to the packaging, the nickel-safe formula can be used on all makes and models of ice makers.

Not only is the formula environmentally friendly by containing no nitrates, being low in phosphates and biodegradable, but it is low in odor and easy on the hands making it less of a burden on your staff to maintain your equipment. The low foaming formula removes nasty lime build-up and mineral deposits with ease with as little as 2 oz. per gallon making it a pretty economical option. Of course, heavier scale deposits may require a little more -- maybe up to 4 oz. per gallon.

How to Apply the Ice Machine Cleaner

According to the directions, after you turn off the water and refrigeration unit, you remove all the ice and drain all the water from the lines on your machine. The water trough, curtain, distribution tube, and other parts can be removed and soaked in a solution of 2 oz of the cleaner to 1 gallon of water. Heavier scale buildup may require up to 4 oz of solution and a little elbow grease. Be sure to rinse all the parts thoroughly with water. The same solution can be used to clean the storage bin, cabinet and other components of the machine. Again, rinse with water.

Then you can turn the water back on to the ice maker. Add 2 oz. of Ice Machine Cleaner for each gallon of water in the unit's holding tank. You can use up to 6 oz. per gallon for really really heavy deposits on machines that may have been neglected for a very long time. Recirculate the solution for about 15 to 30 minutes then drain. Rinse thoroughly with clear water. Next, you restart the machine and discard the first batch of ice. The next harvest will be pristine!
