Recommendation: Time for a New Ice Machine

It’s time for you to get a new ice machine for your office. If ice from your ice maker tastes like metal, it can turn employees off from drinking water throughout the day — which could eventually cause dehydration. Dehydration can lead to memory loss, poor focus, and reduced productivity.
