Wow, this is an old thread! I went to check my eBay history for part numbers to give you, but it doesn't go back that far. In the basement below the ice maker, I have a McCann pressure booster pump that boosts the water pressure to 90 PSI. After the pressure booster I tee off for the still water and for the McCann Big Mac carbonator (You can find deals on them used on eBay if you're patient). I feed the carbonator and the syrup pumps from a 20lb Co2 tank. You also need a cold plate - whatever you can find cheap - if it's got too many passages, just loop your seltzer through it multiple times, a regulator (get one with two gauges!). Everything is plumbed with .375 pex, and clamped together with oetiker clamps. You need to drill four holes in the back of the ice maker - just be careful and make sure you don't drill through anything important. There's nothing hidden to avoid, everything you don't want to hit is right where you can see it - there's basically only one place where you'll find room for four holes. I chose the hole size based on what the local hardware store had rubber grommets for that also fit my tubing. The back of the unit is foam insulation sandwiched between sheet metal and plastic. The holes in the metal and plastic need to be perfectly concentric to prevent leaks, so use a small pilot drill, and a step drill to bring the holes to size. Making the holes and feeding the hose in is the only real "hard" part. And even then it's only hard because you have to get it right the first time. The two water lines go into the ice maker, clamp to the cold plate (leave enough loops of pipe behind the unit to be able to pull it out of when you need to), then out of the cold plate to the manifold of a Wunderbar bar gun. I wish I had gotten a more traditional seltzer tower, since I hardly ever use the post-mix, but I thought the bar gun was cool! I've had this running since 2016, and so far the only thing I've had trouble with is the pressure booster pump. McCann makes two models. The "cheap" one with the diaphragm pump, and the expensive one with the vane pump (16-2170) - I don't know if the expensive one is good, but I assume it is. I do know that diaphragm pumps universally suck - they're loud and they break. Don't get one! You do need some kind of pressure booster to get the water pressure up to 90-100 psi before feeding it into the setup though.

I just recently painted my MBR palladian blue and I think it is such a wonderfully serene, cheerful color...I just love it. However, in the pic you posted, the Woodlawn (also a very pretty color) looks like a better match to your tiles...but I am in agreement with the others that it needs to be softened/lightened up a bit so that your gorgeous tiles take center stage. You might have already tried it but SW Rainwashed is also very pretty but it is really similar to palladian so not sure if that would be an option for you. Also, what about BM Quiet Moments??? I like the idea of a soft ethereal blue...not so keen on the idea of gray (it would be way too much gray IMO). Let us know what you decide! If you get more samples mixed up, post pics!!

Thanks so much randita. I will have to look up those colors tomorrow. I am also considering BM tucson tan or sepia tan. They both look good with my fireplace rock and tile. My fireplace has some coppery tones to it. (I had moved my cream sectional into the front room to paint, and my son keeps saying that it looks better in that room which is green. I think it is because it pops more than it did with the cream that is currently on the family room walls. As I have thought through that element I think it is another reason to go darker.) I decided against the gray simply because I think it is such a tough color to get right and I can't quite make sense of when it is warm and when it is cold... Since I can't take down the chair rail, I wondered how it might look if I used the bottom paneling and chair rail in white, and the upper in the color I choose. So I would get this kind of effect. Not sure if it would work, but may play with it. Thanks again for your input! wig

True design flaw. I just replaced a True Residential Ice maker after suffering through two major leaks that destroyed a ceiling and a floor. The True model has a design flaw in the rear drain hose connection that is prone to leaking. True uses a "push to connect" fitting for their drain rear hose vs a more secure and reliable clamp connection. The push to connect fitting will fail over time just from the wear of water running through the line.. Models from Scotsman use the clamp connection. True Customer Service offered no solution other that to ask me to cut the hose and reconnect it. I did this and the unit leaked 4 months later creating additional water damage. I installed a Scotsman SCCG30 and immediately noticed the clamp type connection on their drain hose. I feel much better with Scotsman despite the lack of the fancy lighting that came with the True Model. Unfortunately, I am out of pocket thousands from this "Truly terrible" product experience.
