can you fill it with chilled refigerate water to make the ice quicker

I dont see why not it only makes since. I bought this icemaker and the only issue if any is the ice gets dispenced into the bucket and tends to slope up against the side not filling the bucket all the way up. Craig.

Filling the bottle with ice and liquid can do no harm, except it may sweat from condensation. I don't recommend hot liquids.

Yes! Small freezer to make ice. Freezer does have to be defrosted too! Sorry answer so late in being sent.

Absolutely! The best part is the inner black lining is removable so you can unzip it and dump the melted ice when you are done.

I will agree with that no. If you add ice, you will not have room for anything else. You might try a small bit of dry ice. But that is a little overdoing it. To keep things really cold with dry ice try a cardboard box.

Yes, you can. I have made it without ice and just added ice to my glass. I am very fussy about my tea and this makes very good ice tea.

Yes, Sandy, the distilled water will be warmer than room temperature! Cool it in a glass pitcher in the fridge (a pitcher because the glass 'catcher' takes longer to cool). Try making ice cubes with the distilled water and use them to more quickly cool the drinking water! Enjoy!

I never tried that. That might make it work better. I really wouldn't buy the item. It realljy doesn't keep the bottle chilled well.

Not to my knowledge. You can only add ice from the top when the bowl is empty.

I don't, but it's all brass so why not...connect using 1/4" copper tubing. The metal would probably be very hot to the touch! Mine is hooked up with the water filter going to the ice maker.

YES! FREEZE or place ice packs in the refrigerator. They work a lot better that way!

Yes you may. I put hot tea and added water to dilute. Let it cool then put into refrigerator. Make sure the the spout handle is far enough back from the door when closed or you will have a lot of liquid dumped.

filled with water...and yes you could add something to the water like a sprig of mint, fruit, etc. However, whatever you add may not stay in the middle while freezing but may shift to the bottom of the container while freezing.

I have not tried to freeze it. Freezing water makes it expand and could crack it. Your question is a good one. It would be nice to have cold water. The mfg should know the answer.

Mine is still new. It hasn't been used. But yes. If it is chilled water that is what it's designed to do.

Nope I bought the steel ice tube to put inside. That keeps the drink cool at the bottom. I already had plastic ice cubes to keep the drink cold at the top and not water it down. Works very well that way.

yes, but if pouring hot liquids into a cold bowl, i would temper the bowl by running it under hot tap water.
