01 / Plan your demand

Start with your busiest day.

Estimate daily consumption and peak service demand. Ice output depends on operating conditions, so compare the manufacturer’s figures for the water and room temperatures expected at your premises.

02 / Match the installation

Check more than dimensions.

Plan water, drainage, ventilation and power before choosing. A modular machine also needs compatible storage. Confirm every component and any installation work in your quotation.

03 / Plan ongoing care

Keep maintenance practical.

Allow access for cleaning and servicing. Follow the model’s care instructions and discuss water treatment for your supply. Confirm warranty terms and the support process before ordering.

Use Scotsman’s specification sheets and user manuals for the exact model supplied.

Machine FAQs.

Choosing, ordering and planning installation.

Where can I buy Scotsman ice machines in South Africa?

Drinking Waters lists Scotsman gourmet cube, dice cube and flake ice machines, together with ice storage bins. We are based at Millennium Park, Stellenberg Road, Parow Industria, Cape Town, 7493. Browse the range online or call 072 543 1831 for help selecting a model and confirming current availability.

Do you deliver Scotsman ice machines to Johannesburg, Pretoria and Durban?

Drinking Waters offers delivery across South Africa, including Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria and Durban. Send us the model you are considering, your delivery postcode and any site-access restrictions. Confirm the freight charge, lead time and unloading arrangements before ordering.

Should I choose gourmet cubes, dice cubes or flake ice?

Choose the ice format for its intended use. Gourmet and dice cubes are options for beverage service; flake ice suits applications requiring smaller, irregular pieces, such as chilled displays. Check the cube size or ice format produced by the exact machine before ordering. The product tabs separate these ranges to help you compare.

How do I choose the right ice machine capacity?

Estimate your busiest day's ice use, peak-hour demand and the ice you need in reserve. Daily production and storage-bin capacity are different measurements. Check output at the water and room temperatures expected on site, and allow for cleaning downtime and demand growth. Send your requirements to Drinking Waters so we can help compare suitable models.

Does a modular Scotsman ice maker include a storage bin?

Do not assume a bin is included. A modular ice-making head needs a compatible storage arrangement, while a self-contained machine combines ice production and storage in one unit. Confirm the supplied items, recommended bin pairing and any adapter requirements for the exact model. A storage bin stores ice; it does not make ice.

What does PWD mean on a Scotsman EC ice maker?

PWD stands for Progressive Water Discharge. It is a pumped wastewater-discharge system, not an ice type or a water filter. Check the drainage limits and installation instructions for the exact EC model, and confirm that the supplied version includes PWD before ordering.

What should I check before installing a Scotsman ice machine?

Check the dimensions, ventilation space, water supply, drainage and electrical requirements in the manufacturer's instructions. Confirm whether the exact model needs single-phase or three-phase power. Discuss water treatment and a cleaning schedule appropriate to your site, and arrange installation by a suitably qualified professional.

How do I confirm the exact model, price and lead time?

Open the product listing for its current catalogue price and enquiry options. Ask our team to confirm the complete model reference, power supply, ice format, rated production conditions and supplied accessories in your quotation. Confirm availability, delivery, warranty terms and support arrangements before placing an order.

Where can I find Scotsman specifications and care instructions?

Use the manufacturer's specification sheet and user manual for the exact model supplied. Follow its cleaning, sanitising and maintenance instructions; the correct routine depends on the machine and local water conditions. Contact Drinking Waters if you need help identifying the model documentation before purchase.
