Ice Maker & Water Maker Repairs

We (Mr. Adventure) spent the morning repairing the ice maker.  The refrigerator has an ice maker, but we also have a small free standing ice maker.  Since we are probably heading to warmer weather in the next few weeks, we thought it a good idea to have plenty of ice on hand.  After disconnecting the water and power to the machine, he took the ice cube maker out, replaced it, and Voila, it runs like new.

As for the water maker,  it needs service, –Mr. Adventure decided this repair was out of his league. How does a water maker work?  I was hoping you would ask… Using reverse osmosis the water maker works with a membrane filtration by applying pressure to the solution on one side of a selective membrane,  The result is that the solute is retained on the pressurized side of the membrane and the pure solvent is allowed to pass to the other side.  Got it?  Good, Test on Monday.   (Yes, I looked that up in Wikipedia–those of you who know me know that I barely understand osmosis, so as for understanding reverse osmosis just forget it.)

Lucky for us there is a water maker repair center in Fort Lauderdale. Again, lucky for us, Fort Lauderdale is on the way to Miami where we are attending the Miami International Boat Show.
