RO Refrigerator and Ice Maker Lines in Houston, TX

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 Houston, TX 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.

Reverse osmosis FAQs

Questions about reverse osmosis system installation

Questions we hear most often about RO Refrigerator and Ice Maker Lines in Houston, TX.

Talk to a real person
How often should RO filters be changed?
Sediment and carbon prefilters usually need changing every 6 to 12 months. The membrane typically lasts two to four years, and a TDS meter tells you when it is due.
Does an RO system remove nitrate?
Yes, reverse osmosis reduces nitrate and nitrite, which is why it is common on farm-area wells. Look for an NSF/ANSI 58 certification that lists nitrate, and retest the treated water after install.
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.
How do I know if my RO membrane needs replacing?
Compare a TDS reading from the regular tap with one from the RO faucet. If the membrane is removing less than about 80 to 85 percent of dissolved solids, it is time to replace it.
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.
