Ice Saver - Nickel Safe Ice Machine Cleaner

Used it once and worked like a charm. I highly recommend this cleaner.

If you're using this for small counter top ice makers like I am then you're going to have this thing for a super long time haha. It works so well and cleans the unit perfectly. I would rinse out the inside after you run through the cleaning cycle then dump a little more ice but it really cleans everything out. The ice is tasting great and this mix is really easy to use. Pretty good price for this much cleaner since you honestly should clean your machine pretty often.

This descaler is one of the most potent calcium deposit removers I've seen just in general, even without getting into the specific concerns of ice machines.It is concentrated, so it is supposed to be mixed with water for a cleaning. With water added, the red concentrate turns blue.Being curious to see how this would compare to the usual mainstream calcium/lime/rust remover chemicals that I've used for decades to clean my nickel-plated faucets, I mixed up a small amount of concentrate with water in a disposable cup. Starting with my wet bar sink with a decent amount of crusty calcium build-up, I merely dipped the tip of the faucet into this descaler solution for 5 SECONDS, and saw that everything was completely gone, leaving the faucet clean, with no scrubbing or anything! Compared to the other chemicals I'd normally use for this sort of thing, where I'd expect to leave the faucet parts soaking for 15-30 minutes, and then still require some scrubbing, I am quite sold on this being my go-to faucet descaler too.

I'm super happy with this ice machine cleaner from the HVAC guys. It works absolutely wonderfully and removed all of the mineral buildup and scuzz from our ice machine. It doesn't leave behind any smell or taste and the ice is so fresh and clean again. It's very easy to use, just make sure you really do a good job rinsing everything down so you don't contaminate your ice with any of the residue from the cleaner. I'd recommend using a brass bristle brush if you encounter any really hard to deal with scale along the way... that worked well for me. Based on how much I used, I will probably get 20 cleanings out of the gallon, which brings a huge amount of value at this price point (about $2 per cleaning). I would recommend this and will buy it again!

I have a love-hate relationship with my under counter ice machine located in my bar at home. It's great to have a bin full of small ice cubes ready at any time, but the machine requires frequent maintenance and we have very hard water which makes the maintenance more demanding.I bought the liquid descaler sold by the manufacturer for a few years, however it was very expensive to use, a pint only contained 4 cleanings. I then tried citric acid powder, which costs less but was less effective. It's very important that any cleaner used in ice machines does not damage the metal components, specifically those made of nickel or tin.This ice machine cleaner is very powerful yet safe for those metal components. It is easy to use. My machine has an automatic cleaning cycle. Simply add solution at the recommended amount and it does the rest including automatic rinsing. This gallon is an excellent value, at the recommended 3 ounces per gallon of water the gallon size contains 42 treatments for machines that have that size reservoir. The reservoir in my machine is 1/2 gallon, so I expect to get 85 1.5 ounce treatments from this gallon.There are some things to be aware, this solution should be kept away from children. Be sure to wear protective gear as stated on the label. This is a commercial type cleaner for standalone ice machines. It can be used in standalone home ice machines but is not for use in icemakers found in refrigerators or freezers.After a single treatment my ice machine is shiny again. Mineral deposits are now gone and the ice has no chemical smell or taste after use. I highly recommend this product.
