Can I install reverse osmosis water filter without using faucet comes with it?

I want to get a RO filter for my ice maker. I do want want to dig a hole on my countertop or the sink (or using any existing holes). Is it possible to connect the "tubing to faucet" directly to the ice maker faucet? I only want to use drink water from the ice maker faucet.

Is this possible? Did anyone have experience with this?

Thanks.

Yes this can be done. I do this on a regular basis. Be sure to use plastic tubing from the R/O unit to the ice maker. R/O water is very aggressive to copper.

Reverse Osmosis by Byron Cottone of Water Filter World

I was looking at my reverse osmosis water filter, one connect to the tap and the other one connect to a pail, probably for disposal. Is the water we suppose to drink from the filter acidic or alkaline?

The reverse osmosis process just removes the impurities in the water. There is one case where the pH could potentially change a bit - if the water has had its pH raised by adding something like "soda ash" -used by some city water supplies to bring the pH up to 7 or above.

It is possible that part of the reaction that took place to raise the pH could be undone by the reverse osmosis process in some municipal water supplies.

I have an RO system in a city that DOES use soda ash to raise the pH. I tested the water straight from the tap and again out of the RO system - I did not detect even a 0.1 change in pH -so I can't say its impossible, I've read it can happen, but I have never seen it happen and I have testing equipment that is sensitive enough to detect it.

Obviously it's more expensive to get the add on, but from a health point of view is it better to get the minerals put back in (I imagine so), but does it really make a difference? And does it alter the taste much?

It doesn't make a ton of difference, actually because you don't take in enough water to make up the difference in your body for the small percentages of mineralizing.

If the Tank on the reverse osmosis system loses pressure, and there is very little or no output to the tap, can the tank be re-pressurised or is it a case of replacement.

If this system is attached to public warter system (Not a well) you may need to get a pump attached to increase the pressure
