Under counter ice-makers

I have a Whirlpool and it’s fine except that I can’t get the damn filter out. Apparently it’s a common issue.

I bought some old Uline freezer/ice makers to make ice for fishing/hunting off Facebook marketplace. I’d guess they are 12-15 years old at least and all three still function perfectly and get way colder than my house freezer.

If you want ‘clear’ ice they need a water drain as they don’t actually keep the ice frozen it just makes ice into an insulated bin that slowly melts, it also uses a lot of water that has to drain in making the ice.

So, if this is a remodel you need to strongly consider if you will have a drain or not as adding a water line is a heck of a lot cheaper and easier then adding a drain usually.

Given that, the clear ice machines are all basically the same. The regular ice is a lot cheaper machine and doesn’t need a drain but they are slower and the ice isn’t as good.

I realized you said wet bar, which would mean sink. So you probably have a drain.

Make sure your contractor knows that you need the ability for the ice maker to gravity drain to the floor. This is much preferred as you won’t need a pump which will fail at some point.

Is this first floor of slab or second floor or pier and beam? Slab is a lot harder then 2nd story or pier and beam.
