Thats the one just want to know were the recirculation part is for the font

Take the top off, have a look under the stirrer, there will be a pump part way down the shaft, connect a hose to the pump (usually 1/2" - 12mm)
fill the unit up with water until it comes out the overflow, then turn it on. The water/hose just does a loop through the font and goes back into the ice bank.
These things are pretty bullet proof - they either work or are ted - DO NOT PUT ANY GLYCOL IN IT
leave it running for 2-3 hours.
If everything is working it will build up 50-75mm of ice around the outsides.
Great toy, do suck a bit of juice tho.

Might be a dumb question but why do you not put glycol in ?

 

[malt junkie]

I believe Mark means to test it is working

 

[MHB]

No I mean if its an ICE BANK you do not put glycol in it - ever!!!
Ice banks work by storing energy as ice, if you add antifreeze it wont form ice...
If you have a Glycol chiller and you don't add glycol it will freeze solid.

It's about as basic as not putting diesel in a petrol car, different beasts.
