I just purchased a new refirgerator with a built in ice maker and water dispenser. The problem is, I have a water softener and did not have the refrigerator water bypassed. I do have a R/O filter under the sink for drinking water and was wondering if the filter on the refrigerator was enough to filter the water.
I have never had an RO filter but have had wells with softeners. The water is fine to drink.

I'm looking to get an under sink RO filter but I'm not sure which to go with (for the best price).
A 3 to 5 gallon reservoir is plenty, the water is only for drinking or coffee. I don't need 100 GPD or anything like that.
I got he hydrotech RO system http://www.hydrotechwater.com/Reverse%20 Osmosis/1240_e_series.htm
I put it by the washing machine and run a hose to the sink and one hose to the refrigerator. The water store I got it from had all the connections I needed and I still have room under my sink and it is a little cleaner feeling when I drink because under the sink is kind of dirty feeling to me.
I put two tanks on the system because in the summer we drink a lot of water and the system takes I think 6 hours to make one gallon of water so instead of 3 gallons I have 6. The one reason I put it by the clothes washer is 1) it is on the other side of the wall as the refrigerator. 2) because it feels cleaner to me and 3) because these systems have a waist water pipe that needs to be put into a drain pipe so I just run that hose right into the washer drain pipe instead of monkeying with the sink drain pipe.
I hope I was helpful. have a great day
My RO system is 9 years old. The storage tank had worked well and provides plenty drinking water at the faucet until recently. It now gives only 5 oz water before the pressure diminish to zero and no water flows out. I have replaced the filter cartridges yearly. What's wrong?
You have a blockage in the filter because some water is slowly getting through. Check ALL the filters
well you know that drinking water filter in the kitchen sink next to the standard faucet? i dont know why, but water wont come out. it worked in the morning but when i came home in the evening and tried to get a drink of water, nothing came out. the regular faucet next to it still works fine. i checked under the sink but no pipe/tube seems to be out of place. what could be wrong? i dont want to hire an expensive profesional....
Sounds like a clogged filter. Take the filter out and put a new one in...or at least take the old one out and check to see if something might have plugged the inlet hole. If it fairly new...try shaking it out the inlet hole and putting the filter back in.
I live in Minnesota (don't know if that really matters for this question, but just in case you need to know for regulations or something on research), and I need to get my water purified! I am spending about $37/month for 1 gallon jugs of drinking water. My shower ( i have 3 full baths), toilets, and sinks get yellow with rust stains . My laundry turns yellow, even when I use bleach! What kind of purification system can I get that will filter my whole house and give me an under-the-sink drinking water system? I prefer something that is going to actually work and save me money. Does anyone know of anything? Thanks!
I use a whole-house water purifier. It's initially expensive, but lasts for a long, long time once it's installed, and is set up to automatically clean itself with a weekly backflush. It does a terrific job of making well-water sparkling clean and very drinkable. One similar to mine can be seen at the below link. Good luck.

? There are many types of water filtration devices that can be used to filter out the things that are in the water that can be bad for the body. While drinking water is required to keep a healthy body there are additives and other chemicals in the water that are bad for the body. Some of these include chlorine and fluoride. Children need a small amount of fluoride for healthy teeth however too much can cause major dental problems in children. Using water filtration devices can reduce the risks that are involved in drinking water. Not only does it reduce the risks of health related problems it also makes the water taste better.
Since there are many types of water filtration devices on the market it can sometimes be difficult to choose which one is best for you. There are pitchers that filter the water and require frequent changes in the filter inside, there are inline filters that require changing once every six months as well as costly extra water line and professional installment,...

If you receive your water from a public water supply, it should be safe to drink. The United States Environmental Protection Agency sets standards for public water supplies that limit the levels of contaminants. The water is tested regularly to ensure that these standards are met. You may find out the results of tests on a public water supply by contacting your water utility or the Minnesota Department of Health.
If you’re still concerned about the tap water you drink, home water treatment units can be a good solution. But water filters aren’t always necessary. Before you buy a home water unit learn as much as possible about the tap water in your home. You should check with your local water supplier and ask for the annual water quality report. Note that some contaminant levels remain constant throughout the year, while others vary according to season, weather, or from house to house.
