Ice makers in Spring Valley draw from supply lines that vary by neighborhood. In homes around The Lakes, built in the 1980s and 1990s, the line may be original copper or plastic tubing with aging shutoff valves. Rhodes Ranch kitchens often include built-in or counter-depth refrigerators with ice makers and dispensers fed through the cabinetry. Restaurants and bars in the area depend on commercial ice machines that need regular descaling.
Hard Las Vegas Valley Water District water clogs ice makers at every point: inlet valve screens, fill tubes and molds, and in commercial machines, evaporators and water pumps as well. Refrigerator filters load up faster than they would in a soft-water region, and an overdue filter restricts flow. In older homes, aging shutoff valves and saddle valves can cut pressure even when the ice maker itself is fine.
In a Lakes-area home, the ice maker might start turning out cubes with hollow centers and ragged edges while production slows. The refrigerator's filter was changed recently, so the owner suspects the ice maker itself. Low supply pressure from an old saddle valve or a scaled inlet valve can produce exactly that. Measuring pressure and inspecting the valve screen narrows the cause quickly.
Swap in a fresh refrigerator filter if the old one is past due, and make sure the freezer is reaching its set temperature. Locate the shutoff valve for the supply line, and don't force an old one. For a restaurant or bar, say it's a commercial ice machine and share its brand and model. Rental residents should get approval from the landlord or leasing office before booking.
Hard water and ice makers: start here
The valley's tap water comes from the Colorado River by way of Lake Mead, and it is very hard: roughly 16 to 18 grains per gallon, or about 280 to 300 parts per million. The U.S. Geological Survey considers anything over 180 milligrams per liter very hard. For most of the house that means spotty glasses and crusty faucets. For an ice maker, it means minerals are deposited at every point where water stops, freezes or evaporates.
Scale shows up in a few predictable places. The small mesh screen inside the water inlet valve catches sediment and mineral flakes until the flow slows to a trickle. The refrigerator's water filter loads up faster than the calendar suggests. In standalone undercounter ice machines, a chalky white layer builds on the evaporator plate and in the water reservoir, which slows ice harvest and makes cubes cloudy, thin or hollow. Managing hard water is the single biggest factor in keeping an ice maker running here.
