What Palma Ceia does
to an ice machine.

Local legend says the site of Tampa's municipal hospital on Davis Islands was chosen in a bunker on the Palma Ceia Country Club golf course, where the developer sketched the islands in the sand.

In Tampa's summer, daytime highs average about 91 °F while nights usually stay in the mid- to upper 70s, with high humidity and a regular chance of afternoon rain.

NOAA's long-term relative humidity at Tampa International Airport averages 78.4 percent in August, the most humid month of the year there.

Older housing stock

Older wiring may put an ice machine's compressor on a circuit shared with other bar equipment, and a breaker that trips each time the harvest starts is left off and reported rather than reset again and again; at a burning smell, switch the breaker off.

Home bars with clear ice

Kitchen designers often place the clear-ice machine far from any floor drain, which means a drain pump hidden in the cabinet, and the pump's check valve and vent line are the first stop when water collects under a spotless island.

Ice for pool decks and patios

An outdoor-rated ice machine under a patio bar runs in the full heat of the afternoon, and its air-cooled condenser pulls in dust and grass clippings all summer, so cleaning the condenser filter is often what brings its output back.

When an ice machine
cannot wait in Palma Ceia.

In Palma Ceia as anywhere, these four call for the ice machine to be shut down and left that way for our visit: water spreading from it or its drain across a walkway or toward an outlet, a burning or hot electrical smell, a breaker that trips when it starts, or a hiss or gas smell at a machine charged with flammable R-290.
