RO Refrigerator and Ice Maker Lines in Chicago, IL

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 Chicago, IL 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.

Call Bear Water Purification at (833) 879-3600 to connect your RO system to the fridge.

Reverse osmosis FAQs

Questions about reverse osmosis system installation

Questions we hear most often about RO Refrigerator and Ice Maker Lines in Chicago, IL.

Talk to a real person
How much does reverse osmosis system installation cost in Chicago, IL?
It depends on the system, the countertop material and whether a booster or permeate pump is needed. A standard under-sink install is the simplest job, while whole house and commercial systems are priced after a water test. Call (833) 879-3600 to get a quote for your home.
What water pressure does a reverse osmosis system need?
Most under-sink systems need at least 40 psi and work best at 50 to 60 psi. Below that, a booster pump or permeate pump restores output.
Why does my RO water taste bad all of a sudden?
A spent carbon post-filter, a storage tank that needs sanitizing or a worn membrane are the common causes. Filter changes and a tank sanitize clear up most taste complaints.
Does a reverse osmosis system need electricity?
A standard tank system does not, and neither does a permeate pump. Tankless units, booster pumps and UV stages do need an outlet under the sink.
Do I need UV with my reverse osmosis system?
On treated city water, usually not. On a private well, a cistern or after a positive bacteria test, a UV stage adds protection that RO alone does not give.
