I assume so, the filter only affects water and ice feature....ice making machine is terrible by the way, same if not worse technology as 50 years ago...a disgrace

Mine serves double duty. It feeds a filtered water spigot on the sink and is also the filtered water source for my refrigerator. I got a blank cartridge for the fridge to bypass the refrigerator filtration. I had a plumber install a larger supply line than the cheap ones sold in kits at the home improvement stores. Be sure to install the proper cut-off valves to isolate the line running from the T off the filter to the fridge. My ice maker and thru-door water delivery system work great with this arrangement.

There is not a filter required on this particular model. It works fine, I've had for several months at work but it's a half gallon so it's goes through the water a bit faster than the ones I have at home but I've been quite happy with this one. Good luck!

Yes, you can use it with the filter in your frig. This one is external to the appliance and fits in the middle of the water line.

hi, there is no filter in the unit. you will need to install a filter between the cold water line and the unit. good luck!

Our system can be hooked up to the ice-maker on the fridge with proper connections. It can either be tee off so that it sends water to both the included faucet and the ice-maker or to the ice-maker or our included faucet by itself.

A water filter is not built into the unit. It is recommended that you fill the reservoir with cold, filtered water. Personally, I use the EveryDrop Premium Water Filter ($30 on Amazon) because my 15-year-old fridge does not have a filter built into the water dispenser.

I can't say for certain but it would require cutting the plastic tubing and inserting the filter between the cut ends so you would need to have space for it. But, why do that since it's so simple to install outside the refrigerator?

I think that would e a matter of personal choice. I use my fridge-filtered water in my coffee maker; however, I also use the filters made for the coffee maker. The more filtering, the better is how I look at it.

There is only a water connection no valve you should have your own shut off valve for the fridge

Yes it is possible to use the machine without filter. There is included with the machine water tester and you set up the machine according water softness.I love this machine.

The filter comes with 3/8" plastic tubes and connections, and your fridge would require same size. Otherwise it should work.

You cannot use it without the filter. The edge of the filter touches a part of the thermometer to work.

I believe it is called the water inlet valve. It is installed in the rear of the fridge down by the floor. The pipe from the kitchen sink is connected directly into the valve.

No filter. I used filtered water out of my refrigerator water dispenser and it worked fine.

yes. we do not have a water filter, just use a combo of filtered water from our 'fridge and distilled water. we descale it regularly.
