RO Refrigerator and Ice Maker Lines in Diamond, OH
Clear ice and better tasting fridge water are the main reasons people run their RO system to the refrigerator. It works well when the line is set up right and poorly when it is not.
The issue is pressure. An RO tank delivers water at a fraction of house pressure, and that pressure drops as the tank empties. Many refrigerator inlet valves want 20 psi or more to fill the ice tray properly. A long run from the sink to a fridge across the room loses pressure on the way, and you end up with small, hollow cubes.
Bear Water Purification connects Diamond, OH homeowners with plumbers who run a dedicated 1/4 inch line with its own shut-off, tee it after the post-filter, and bypass the fridge's built-in filter so the water is not run through carbon twice. Where pressure is marginal, the fix is a permeate pump or a delivery pump, not a bigger tank.
Old copper ice maker lines get swapped for food-grade polyethylene, since RO water slowly eats at copper.
