ABSTRACT:
An ice bank control for use in controlling the size of an ice bank in an ice water tank in a beverage dispenser utilizes an especially constructed probe having a sealed tubular member containing an electrolyte treated water well therein. An electrode extends into the water well and a ground is in contact with the water well so that the probe senses the existence of ice at a point within the tank while the tubular member insulates the electrode and ground from contact, electrical and physical, with the contents of the ice water tank.
