Step 10: Ice Maker Connection (Optional)
This RO System has been designed to easily connect to any standard refrigerator ice maker or ice maker/water dispenser. If you
choose to connect your RO System to an ice maker, you will need additional hardware. It's recommended to use the following:
FDA Approved, NSF, LLDPE Tubing – 25' of 1/4"
Reducing Tee – 3/8" (end) x 3/8" (end) x 1/4" (branch)
Shutoff Valve 1/4" x 1/4"
TIP: If ice maker connection is being installed after the start-up of your RO System, any water in the system should be closed off. It's
advised to close the feed water supply to your RO System, close the storage tank shut-off valve, open the dispenser faucet, and
allow water to drain. A bucket should also be handy to catch any residual water when the product line is cut in the succeeding steps.
1) Locate the 3/8" BLUE tubing that runs from the Faucet Outlet to the dispenser faucet.
2) Using a tubing cutter, squarely cut tubing in a location that's most convenient to branch off. Cut should be at least 5-10"
past the point at which it comes out of your RO System. Allow any water that may be in the line to drain into bucket.
3) Using a reducing tee, 3/8" (end) x 3/8" (end) x 1/4" (branch), connect each end of the 3/8" BLUE tubing to the 3/8"
connections on the reducing tee.
4) Connect one end of 15' of 1/4" tubing into the 1/4" branch of the reducing tee. Ensure all connections are secure.
5) 5-10" down the 15' tubing, cut it and connect an inline shutoff valve to each end.
IMPORTANT: This inline shutoff valve will allow you to shut off the water to your ice maker for future servicing and
maintenance. Its installation is required.
6) Connect the remaining end of the 15' tubing to your ice maker.
NOTE: Shut-off valve to ice maker should always be closed during routine servicing, maintenance, and sanitization. Only open the
shutoff valve when finished, and when RO System has been thoroughly flushed. This will prevent unwanted chemicals or
particulates from entering the ice machine.
Step 11: Record Information in a System Maintenance & Repair Log
To ensure proper care and maintenance of your RO System, now is the time to begin a log, specifying the date of installation and the
test results obtained at the original start-up. Additional data should be kept with dates and details of maintenance performed, along
with test results at that time. Thorough records of any changes in system performance are important to have, should a problem
ever arise.
