Ice Machine Water Filter Replacement in Randpark Ext
Ice Machine Water Filter Replacement in Randpark Ext, Johannesburg. Filter and cartridge changes with hardness testing.
Filtration protects the evaporator and pump from scale and sediment. Cartridges are sized on throughput and measured hardness rather than a default six-month interval, and we log the change so the next one is predictable.
The ice plant here is mostly estate clubhouses, guest houses, small restaurants and private bars, so the work is weighted towards undercounter and small modular machines. Call-outs are run from the central Johannesburg base, which keeps attendance windows short for kitchens in the northern and central suburbs.
Where a site is on borehole or stored water, hardness and sediment shorten descaling intervals sharply, which is why we take a hardness reading before setting a maintenance schedule. Peak demand normally lands in a two-hour service window, so storage volume matters as much as production per 24 hours.
