Hoshizaki drain pump compatibility, installation, and troubleshooting

The Hoshizaki HS-5061 drain pump assembly gives compatible undercounter ice makers a pumped-drain option when proper gravity drainage isn’t practical. Before ordering, confirm the exact ice machine model, discharge route, horizontal run, lift, and local installation requirements.

Highlights

The HS-5061 collects wastewater from a compatible undercounter ice maker and pumps it through a dedicated discharge hose to an approved drain.
Hoshizaki lists a maximum horizontal discharge run of 20 feet and a maximum lift of 8 feet.
The kit includes the drain pump assembly, drain hose, vent hose, 10-foot discharge hose, clamps and vent-hose clips.
An internal safety switch stops the ice maker if the pump reservoir fills to capacity. The pump continues operating, and the machine restarts after the water level drops.
The assembly connects to the drain-pump connector inside a compatible ice maker. Exact mounting, hose routing, and electrical connections vary by model.

Best for

Compatible Hoshizaki undercounter ice makers with an approved drain above the machine outlet or several feet away, within Hoshizaki’s published limits
Existing machines that specifically list the HS-5061 as a compatible accessory
Bars, offices, hospitality spaces and service areas that need more flexibility in ice machine placement

Before you buy

Confirm the complete ice machine model and serial number. The HS-5061 isn’t a universal accessory for every Hoshizaki machine.
A simple rule: Use gravity drainage when the site and machine instructions support it; add a pump only when the compatible model and drain layout require pumped drainage.
Keep the horizontal discharge run within 20 feet and the vertical lift within 8 feet. Traps, kinks, sharp bends, and debris can restrict flow.
Maintain the required air gap between the discharge-hose outlet and the drain piping. Don’t connect the hose directly into a floor drain or drainpipe.
Keep the vent hose open, secure and free of kinks, and make sure the pump sits level.
Don’t install an additional check valve. The assembly already includes a factory-installed check valve.
Leave enough tubing and service clearance to pull the ice maker forward without pinching or damaging the hoses.
Have a qualified service technician install and test the assembly. Local codes may also require a plumbing permit or licensed plumber.

Hoshizaki drain pump FAQs

What does a drain pump do?

−

A drain pump collects wastewater from an ice maker and moves it to an approved drain when gravity drainage isn’t practical. It doesn’t eliminate the need for a proper drain connection, air gap, or code-compliant plumbing.

Do I need a drain pump for my ice maker?

You need a drain pump only when the exact ice machine supports one and the site can’t provide proper gravity drainage. If the drain is below the machine outlet and the line can run continuously downhill as required, a pump usually isn’t necessary.

Where is the drain pump located?

On many compatible Hoshizaki undercounter models, the HS-5061 mounts inside the rear of the cabinet behind an access panel. The exact position, hose routing, and electrical connection depend on the ice machine, so follow the installation instructions for the full model number.

How do I know if a drain pump is faulty?

Suspect a drain-pump problem if it doesn’t activate when the reservoir fills, runs without discharging water, or causes the ice maker to stop because water remains in the reservoir. First check the power, connector, inlet opening, vent hose, discharge hose, and installation limits; if those are correct, have a qualified technician test the pump using Hoshizaki’s HS-5061 troubleshooting guidance.

How do you unblock a drain pump?

A qualified technician should clear the inlet fitting opening and inspect the vent and discharge hoses for debris, traps, kinks, or sharp bends. Turn off and unplug the ice maker before service, and don’t pour unapproved drain chemicals into the pump.
