Abstract

A method and system of dispensing water in an ice making machine includes a tube having a plurality of tube apertures. The tube receives water. The water is dispensed at different locations along the tube onto different locations on an evaporator coil. The evaporator coil is in thermal communication with at least one ice forming area. The at least one ice forming area is positioned so that a portion of the water flows into contact therewith when ice is harvested from the ice forming area.
