How frequently should my ice machine be descaled?

Plan on descaling every 1 to 3 months, depending on usage and water hardness. In practice:

High-volume sites or hard-water areas: aim for monthly.

Typical cafés and restaurants: every 2 to 3 months.

Do not wait for obvious symptoms. Scale build-up can reduce ice production and cause breakdowns. Pairing the machine with appropriate water filtration and keeping up with regular cleaning of the bin and contact surfaces will usually extend the time between deep descaling visits and keep ice tasting clean.
