Nu Calgon Ice Machine Cleaner Nickel Safe 4287-34 (Original Version)

This is the cleaning chemical I use for cleaning ice machines. It does a good job from what I can tell.

This stuff works great. Even does a good job getting scale build up off outside of the maker on the stainless surface

Acetic acid cleaners were ineffective. Nickel safe phosphoric acid cleaners get the job done.

Worked well flushing out our ice maker!!

Every three months, I clean our icemaker with this product. Yes, I dread doing this task. It's worth the effort to have better tasting ice and save a lot of money to not have to replace the icemaker as soon and from the expense of paying someone to clean the machine.

The cleaner came on time and seemed to do a good job cleaning our ice maker. This is the only cleaner recommended by our ice maker manufacturer. The bottle and my ice maker instructions differed in use so I followed the ice maker directions.

Even with a water softener. our ice maker gets a lot of calcium buildup. This stuff works so much better than the kind the manufacturer sells or recommends. It's more expensive, but it is concentrated so you don't use the whole bottle.

At the risk of making this product sound like a magic elixir, it brought life back to our 15-year old KitchenAid ice maker. We purchased our home with this existing ice maker just over a year ago. The ice maker production started slowly going down. The interior light stopped working and the countertop above the unit was noticeably warm to the touch. After the ice production almost stopped, I began my research and learned about this cleaner and the need for routine cleaning. I ran two cleaning cycles with this product and I could not believe the difference. Ice is literally overflowing and the light started working again. I already have the next cleaning cycle scheduled on my calendar six months out. Well worth the cost.
