Or am I missing how the water gets into the machine?** A: The side tank supplies water to the Opal through one of the supply hoses on the back on the machine - you do NOT have to pour it into the reservoir. The instruction manual will guide you through the process. **Q: Has anyone tried using a longer hose so you can pull out only side tank from under a cabinet? (current hose too short....manufacturer has no answer)** A: Yep! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06W51VZ43/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 **Q: Will this work for the first generation models ?** A: Yes - the tank is attached to the unit using one of the rear drain hoses. It is essentially a gravity feed system to the reservoir in the main unit. **Q: Will this work for the first generation models ?** A: Yes ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a water tank *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on 27 June 2023* Not much to say about this product, it holds water and magnetic so it attaches to the ice maker. It looks nice and was easy to install. I had it cleaned and installed in a few minutes. The price seems high for what you get but after shopping around I did not find anything less expensive than the $60.17 I spent for this product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Big improvement in functionality! *by C***L on Reviewed in the United States on 8 January 2020* Yes, it is pretty expensive for what amounts to just being a plastic jug. However, if you're buying this it's because you also own a $500+ ice maker because you like "good ice"-- so we pretty much have to surrender the moral high ground when it comes to complaining about 'value' and 'price'. :-)For me, this really makes the Opal so much nicer to use! The Opal Side Tank is *much* larger than the built-in tank on the main unit and it is additional to the existing capacity, so finally I'm not seeing the 'low water' blue ring ALL THE TIME (and probably saving a lot of wear-and-tear on the water pump running on a dry reservoir). Since the side tank is clear it's immediately obvious at a glance as to whether you need to add water which is much better than pulling the bin and trying to see inside the black interior of the Opal Ice Maker itself. Lastly, as an added bonus, the side tank eliminates the spill-prone task of (awkwardly) trying to pour water from a large container in to the Opal base to refill it.All in all, it's a 'luxury' priced add-on to a 'luxury' priced ice-maker and is well worth the money if you use a lot of ice and hate the frequent refill schedule on the stock Opal Ice Maker. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Idiot proof! Great addition to your Opal! *by D***. on Reviewed in the United States on 14 June 2019* While I still wish I could hard plumb my Opalinto my water supply at the house, this is a great alternative and addition to your Opal ice maker!!Not sure what the negative reviews about leaks are about, but honestly, it’s literally idiot proof. You take the tank off, unscrew the cap, fill the tank, flip it upside down, and put it back on the base. There is a one way valve, so it’s not like you’re flipping a water cooler jug over, the water won’t go everywhere.It matches the Opal perfectly, the tank is sized perfect enough that I can fit it into my sink and fill it using my Instant hot/cold tap which gives me filtered water, and it’s way easier than having to pull the ice tray all the way out, sticking a pitcher of water into the Opal and filling it a few times a week.Installation literally took 30 seconds. It took longer for me to open the Amazon shipping box, un-box the tank, and pull my Opal far enough out from under the cabinet to reach the hose than it did to actually connect it.It’s a bit pricey, but I got my Opal brand new on clearance at Home Depot for $225, so it was easier for me to justify the $70, but honestly, it’s money well spent!! ## Frequently Bought Together - GE Profile Opal | Side Tank Accessory for Opal Nugget Ice Maker | Easy Magnetic Attachment to Opal Ice Machine |1-Gallon Tank |Allows for 3x More Ice Before Refill | Pack of 1 |17.2"D x 7.5"W x 3.75"H - GE Profile Opal | Replacement Water Filter for Opal Nugget Ice Maker | Cleans and Filters Water for Fresh Ice | Replace Every 3 Months for Best Results | Easy Install | Pack of 1 - GE Profile Opal 2.0, Chewable Crunchable Countertop Nugget Ice Maker, Scoop included, 38 lbs in 24 hours, Pellet Ice Machine with WiFi & Smart Connected, Stainless Steel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/410254199-geprofile-opal-side-tank-accessory-for-opal-nugget-ice-maker](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/410254199-geprofile-opal-side-tank-accessory-for-opal-nugget-ice-maker) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
