Manitowoc Ice Machine Service in Phoenix, AZ
An ice machine in Phoenix fights the water and the heat at the same time. Manitowoc builds a great many of the ones fighting.
Manitowoc Ice, now part of Pentair, is among the most common ice machine brands in Phoenix restaurants, hotels, bars, hospitals, convenience stores and offices — Indigo NXT modular cube machines on bins and dispensers, undercounter units, nugget and flake machines in healthcare and hospitality, and remote condensing units on roofs paired with machine heads inside. Bleuwave services Manitowoc ice machines as an independent contractor, without dealer affiliation or factory authorization.
Phoenix is hard on ice machines twice over. Hard water scales the evaporator plate, the water distribution and the pump, reducing production and eventually stopping it; and heat — a 100-degree kitchen or a 115-degree roof for a remote condenser — raises head pressure and cuts capacity on the days the bar needs ice most. Scale management and condenser condition are the two service items that decide whether a machine makes its rated ice in July.

Straight Answers
Questions About Manitowoc Ice Equipment
Why does our ice machine make less ice in summer?
Heat and scale. High ambient temperatures raise head pressure and cut capacity, and scale on the evaporator slows freezing and harvest. Condenser cleaning and descaling before summer restore most of the lost production.
How often should an ice machine be descaled in Phoenix?
More often than in most markets — typically quarterly, and more frequently for high-production machines on untreated water. Water filtration extends the interval.
Is Bleuwave a Manitowoc authorized service provider?
No. We service Manitowoc ice machines as an independent contractor without dealer affiliation or factory authorization.
