I've gone from a commercial chiller to the same setup for the same reason. The temperature of the lazer was not going down. The return tube should be in the water otherwise you will get air in the tube when you shut off the pump.
Great minds think alike! At first I left the tube out of the water so I could hear it running. It is difficult to see inside the ice machine. Take care not to lower the temperature below the ambient dew point or condensation will form inside the tube. I did this once and had to buy a new tube!! Thanks for watching, have a great day!
hey guys hope this can help someone instead of runing the return line to the reservoir in the ice maker put the return line above the copper coils inside the maker .. i did this to mines and it works perfect the water get cold fast and also i hooked up a inkbird to mines which turns on the ice maker at a set temp and takes it off at a set temp
What an interesting machine, man! I've never seen one of those! 😃 Something you can do to make it faster is to put some ice in it when you turn it on. Anyway, stay safe there with your family, my friend! 🖖😊
Why use distilled water, then contaminate it with bleach and washing-up liquid? I understand the main reason for using distilled water is for the possible safety of its low electrical conductivity, but adding bleach and washing-up liquid would increase the conductivity to at least that of tap water.
The tap water around here contains a very high mineral content. The last thing I need are tubes coated in Cal! A little bleach is added to prevent algae forming. A drop or 2 of dish soap acts as a surfactant. Thanks for watching, have a great day!

I live in the desert of Andalucía, condensation is not a problem for me!! The soap is a "wetting agent" that is it helps the water to coat the surface of the glass tube. ¡Vivo en el desierto de Andalucía, la condensación no es un problema para mí! El jabón es un "agente humectante", es decir, ayuda a que el agua cubra la superficie del tubo de vidrio.
