Air-Cooled Ice Machines vs. Water-Cooled Ice Machines
Pros - Affordable pricing
- Relatively easy to install
Cons - Affected by ambient temperature
- Hot rooms = Less ice
- May require air conditioning
Our Expert Advice
If you live in a very hot climate or will
be operating your ice machine in a room
without adequate air conditioning, consider
purchasing a water-cooled machine.
Pros - More efficient than air-cooled machines
- Does not raise room temperature
Cons - Higher base pricing
- More costly to install
Our Expert Advice
The advantages of water-cooled machines
may be negligible if water costs are prohibitive.
Also check that your machine will not violate
any local water conservation laws.
