    http://millikenchemical.com/pages/pr...n/default.aspx used in Manitowoc and Scotsman sells their machines with AgIon in them, labeled as AquaArmor

    Hoshizaki adverties their use of H-guard plus, but I cannot find any references as to what it is outside of it being advertised in their products

    Yeah? The plastic that inhibits mold growth. They use it on the water troughs and water curtains.

    I think it was the GCS series. Biggest piece of crap ever. ICE series a little better. The only thing IOM ever did right is the anti microbial plastic

    First Ice-O-Matic experience today.

    Worked on my first Ice-O-Matic today and in a nutshell "seriously?" Compared to a Manitowoc or a Hoshizaki those are some pretty dumb machines. It was frozen up pretty bad. I called the senior tech to ask how harvest was triggered and a quick run down of the controls. I got the ice off and put my gauges on. Surprising the charge was good but the coating on the evap was done and was coming off everywhere. I purged the sump like 10 times but it kept pulling more and more of the evap coating off.

    It made ice, but would not drop. I remember being told about the pushrod. Well, the whole pushrod assembly had fallen off, the bolts rusted through. I really didn't care for that coating always coming off and that **** was going to be in peoples drinks. I called my boss and told him the machine needed to be replaced and didn't feel comfortable fixing something that could endanger people so I didn't fix it.
