What Presidio Heights does
to an ice maker.

About 230 of the roughly 19,300 housing units in 94118, the ZIP code that includes Presidio Heights, lack complete plumbing facilities.

When tap water runs discolored, the SFPUC advises opening the cold tap closest to the water meter for three to five minutes, then waiting an hour and trying again if it has not cleared.

Black, oily specks in the water usually come from rubber parts breaking down in fixtures or hoses, and the SFPUC notes that its chloramine disinfectant can speed that breakdown in some rubbers.

Older housing stock

Older houses often feed the ice maker through a saddle valve clamped onto a copper pipe, a fitting plumbers no longer recommend, and its rubber seal hardens with age until a slow drip at the clamp soaks the subfloor behind the unit.

Designed kitchens and bars

A clear-ice undercounter maker chosen for a designed kitchen builds its cubes by running water over a chilled plate or grid, and that surface scales quickly, so owners who bought crystal-clear ice see cloudiness first and a descaling on schedule keeps the look.

Small kitchens and bars

Small kitchens rarely have a floor drain or a spare sink tailpiece near an undercounter spot, so a compact ice maker there usually lifts its melt water to the sink with a drain pump, and a pump that quits leaves water pooling in the cabinet base.
