Sub Zero Ice Machine

Hi. We just bought a Sub Z ice machine for $200 off of Craigslist from a company that cleans out offices etc. It is the older model (UC315i) with the drain pump. Hooked it up in the basement to test and it began leaking from underneath very soon afterwards. took the panels off and realized that the pump inlet had come off during transport and was just draining onto the floor...hooked that back up and tried again, with the drain hose in a cooler. After 30 minutes or so we had our first slightly white, misshaped ice cube, and a couple of inches of water in the cooler. six hours later we had filled the cooler with water and had about a pound of ice. Part of me thinks that the ice is melting quickly because the ambient temp in the reservoir is 70 f or so, but it still seems like an awful amount of drain water...any ideas what may be causing this? It IS making ice, just not a lot...
