Ice makers with a water line
A water-line ice maker connects to your cold water pipe, so it never runs dry. Every undercounter and outdoor machine works this way; a few countertop models can use either their tank or a line.

What you need
- A cold water supply close by, with a shut-off valve.
- A drain or drain pump for undercounter models.
- Optional but wise: an inline water filter.
