What kind of water do you use in your portable ice makers, saw that tap water and distilled doesn't work well for very long..

    Distilled water is one of the only things that will corrode stainless steel. Good for you, but not good for many metals.
  • I use bottle drinking water in mine. Best thing I ever bought for the Colby T. So much better than carrying an ice chest.

  • We have a Brita Filtered water pitcher that we use to fill the ice machine. Takes the nasty tatse out of the ice. Going on three years with our machine and no problems
