There is nothing particularly special about the Mechanical parts used in this under counter device. The Ice cubes are formed in a Universal type of machine that can be found in most refrigerators that have ice makers built in, and purchased as an add on for many others.

The Water Supply Hose should have a Shut Off Valve which needs to be closed to prevent any accidental production of unwanted Ice Cubes!
You must remember that this unit only works on 110 so you can't use it while dry camping unless You have an inverter!
