PM: Can you use tap water in a countertop ice maker?
EB: Yes, whether you hook your ice maker up to a water line or use a refillable tank, you can keep it supplied with tap water. However, if you find that your tap water has an unpleasant flavor, you may prefer to use filtered water.
PM: Can I leave my countertop ice maker on all the time?
EB: Yes, it’s perfectly safe to leave most ice makers on during the day and night. Of course, if you’re not using the ice, you will be using electricity to keep it running.
PM: Do ice makers need a water line?
EB: Some countertop ice makers require a water hookup. This means you’ll need to place the machine near some plumbing in your kitchen. If this isn’t an option for your home, however, many of the machines we love use a refillable water reservoir instead of, or in addition to, a water line.
