Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the ZD-160 be connected to a water filtration system?
A: Yes, we highly recommend installing a standard inline water filter to protect the machine and ensure ice quality.
Q: What is the difference between a “ice maker” and an “ice dispenser”?
A: The ice maker (ZD-160) produces and stores ice internally. An ice dispenser is a separate cabinet that stores a larger volume of ice and provides a mechanism (like a push-button) for users to dispense it. The ZD-160 can feed ice into a compatible dispenser.
Q: Is this machine suitable for a small boutique hotel?
A: Absolutely. The ZD-160’s output is scalable. For smaller properties, it can serve as the sole production unit. For larger hotels, multiple units can be deployed on different floors.
