Does this increase the water pressure to an ice maker connected to the tank?

I would assume so. The fill rate has about doubled from the R.O. spigot which is attached to the tank. I have not done any tests on the actual pressure, but the flow is much faster.

It did help, but not like I thought it would. I also don't think it works like it should once I added the pump, I think the RO water is not filtered like it should. I ended up adding an in-line filter. I've noticed a change in the taste in the water since I added it. I think there are better options than using this pump, however it will cost you. I sometimes regret purchasing this whole system.

Did not connect to ice maker. We used it for our motorhome because a lot of RV parks have low water pressure and the tank does not turn off if pressure is not high enough. It produces water more quickly.

I do not have an ice maker, so I cannot confirm this as a fact. However, since the water pressure increased significantly from the filter outlet, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't increase the water pressure if an ice maker were connect to the tank.

I did noticed an increase in pressure. Also I do have my ice maker connected and I have no problem.

If you mean the water line connecting to the tank then yes. It is fairly simple to install but it is much easier when you have another person helping you put it on!

Once the cold water feed is turned on, the water passes thru the filters and the outflow from the other side of the RO filter begins filling the holding tank. There is a shut-off valve for when the tank is full. The water pressure on the outflow side of the tank seems to build up automatically. When we drain the tank, such as needing over 1.5gal of RO water, the water pressure drops, but in a while, 15-30 min the pressure is self-restored.

If you mean built-in in a fashion similar to how a kitchen refrigerator is built-in, the answer is yes. Mine is installed that way. But just to be clear, I can slide my ice maker out of its location so I can get to the water valve to turn it off if ever needed, but it is enclosed on 3 sides. Hope this helps.

No, it does not. You would have to let it cool down and then put ice in it (or vice versa).

No. You have to use the Shut Off Arm from the old icemaker. It's very simple to remove and install.

Dean, It appeared to me that it was kind of a fit-all type that one side takes care of the ice-maker and the other takes care of the water dispenser. Most of the stuff that came with it to install I didn't use but I will say it was the second one (the first one lasted about two years) I've replaced. Good thing is that they're not expensive. So far with this one...so good....

The new ice maker should not do that, I installed one and it worked perfectly and cranked tons of ice. You do need to make sure it is plugged in properly and there is no damage to the power cable or connectors. I think I left my old cable and reconnected it to the unit and it worked fine.

Not that I am aware of. It should make ice until you manually cut it off by pushing the arm all the way up until it locks in place.

I'm assuming it DOES, as long as you have the appropriate socket for this to plug into, and the water hose leading up the back of the fridge going into the top where this device will mount. You'll also need a water connection leading into the inlet valve located near the base in back. If your model fridge wasn't meant for an ice maker to be added on later, I doubt if you'd want to modify it in order to include one, since it would be cheaper to buy a new fridge w/the ice maker included. But if you have the socket and the right water inlet valve for an ice maker, then you're good-to-go.

Yes it will hook to the ice maker. This system works great. It has worked without a problem and getting water and ice from bottled water is a lot better than the water we have here. You can hear the motor while it's pumping but I don't see it as a problem. Very easy to hook up. You shouldn't use a filter. Most manufactures have either a plug or in my case, I just had to take the filter out and it automatically bypassed it.

I do. You'll need a T fitting and the tube (or pipe) that comes from the ice maker.
1926448
No, but you can remove the piece inside the head that throttles the pressure to increase it as necessary.

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.

I don't think it did. I believe i used the one from the old ice maker and it worked fine. Hard to remember though.

The pump has to push the water up to the freezing unit. it does make a little noise but I would not be without it for the convenience of having the ice where you need it.

Yes this device did solve the frozen water line problem. Sad that this is a GE defect and they make you but a GE part to fix it that was not on the frig when originally sold.
