Ice maker water supply

[MrB]

Are you sure that princess don't fit an inline carbon filter for the ice maker supply? Fairline and Sunseeker do!

I had exactly the same thoughts!:ambivalence:

In the none marine industry there are basically two types of ice machines,
The ones that have a built in fresh water tank and the ones designed to be connected to a pressurised water supply, the way they are assembled is completely different
I'm assuming your is the latter ? If so it doesn't really lend itself to anything other than a pressurised water supply from your main tank or as you discribed a secondary tank with pump
Have you considered fitting a water filtration system as the OP mentioned, it could be installed to filtrate just the ice machine supply or the whole boat
A friend installed a "Nature-Pure" system so they could drink marine water on their live-aboard in Vilamoura
From memory it worked very well
Not sure if Cala dor's water is beyond filtration but I would of thought a decent filtration system inc uv would be a fraction of the cost of a secondary tank / pump etc

I thought the separate tank solution was what Princess were offering you to get round the issue of taking water from the main water tank?

Ah I see. Yes, but the cost is more than that of the ice maker!

The op is in Palma not Cala dor but I can confirm Cala dor water is beyond redemption !
