This is really a great Ice maker. I highly recommend you throw all the hoses away and get steel braided lines and a decent water filter. You will need an adapter which I got a lowes. The little included pumps works well and I have the drain going into a 5 gallon water jug I picked up at walmart. Turn it off every night so I don't have to hear it and have never run out of ice.I can now fill up my cooler anytime I want and it still makes enough ice for the family. So I recommend this machine. Just be prepared to hook the water line up and the drain or hire a professional to do it for you.Once I got the parts it only to ten mins to hook up.
