Pressure drop low enough to get good flow from my refrigerator in-door dispenser? Have~50psi feed. Work?

Curtis, I use mine via an outside hose bib with about 35-50psi. It works great!

Absolutely. At 40psi and above, the system works very well. If you have more prefilter system(s) before the Hydrologic , then you would need a higher psi.

I was able to ajust this one to my pump that runs at or around 28 lbs. The ones that Home Depot had did not work because they are for a higher minimum pressure than my pump. Note: it takes awhile to adjust even with the instructions under the plastic cap.

I have had the same problem. It will not even support my refrigerator. I believe thf flow is inadequate, therefore the produce is defective.

We have never had great pressure, but the pressure remained about the same. I would check the house connections on the faucet to see if some debris got caught up in the hoses of the faucet. Good luck.

while I can't give you a number I have in basement and connect to sink and fridge on ground level. works OK however previously had a FloJet pump which had a bit more pressure (output)at sink.

I would definitely get the booster. I did the same thing with a splitter and it works great. The refrigerator doesn't have a problem making ice. The water seems to dispense a little slower, but that may be because of the extra filter in the refrigerator. Either way, it's not really enough to notice and we are very happy with the system.

I have had this model for about 3 months and my pressure is high ( I do have a water pressure reducing valve in my line), my sink is standard depth and I do get splashing when the water is turned on. I do think it would work with low pressure.

We also felt that the pressure is low, but we decided to leave this as is for water savings. Send your request to manufacturer, Phister Customer's Service is exellent. (they helped us more then expected, sent us a lot of spare details without any charge). Good luck

If your refrigerator is already plumbed under your kitchen sink, you'll just need a T fitting, and the appropriate corresponding line. I would suggest a miniature valve downstream of the T fitting, so you'll have the ability to turn off the supply to your refrigerator, without interrupting the supply to the RO tap.You did not say if your refrigerator is plumbed to the kitchen sink, or whether it has an inline filter already. Also, without knowing if you have copper, or plastic line to the refrigerator, it is hard to make plumbing suggestions.

The valve is battery operated, so I see no reason why it should not work with your lower pressure. You may have to set it for a longer water duration time to get the amount of water you want.

David, your generator likely calls for 10-15 *inches of water column* not psi. This should work just fine for you based on the 1/2psi manufacturer setting which is 13.83 wc in.

Mine work at low pressure levels. I occasioally turn doen the flow using an in-line valve when watering smaller areas. the sprinkler works fine at the reduced pressure.

The pressure on ours is great! Not sure about the specific GPM, but I would not say it is anywhere near low flow!

It does not say. I have however connected it to my Samsung refrigerator and it works find. There is a pressure switch within the unit that switches of the pump when the flow reduces to zero.

If the cold water line coming out of the wall is straight 1/2" copper, or pex tubing, it'll work great. But you'll need more than 1" of pipe exposure for a proper connection. Also, make sure you insert the valve 1/2" port a full inch onto the pipe. And remember the supply connection to the refrigerator line must be a 1/4" compression fitting.

The pressure switch may be sent to low. Adjust it with the screw in the front of the pump head.

I have no idea what flow restriction diameter is but if you try to do this off of a water utility I don't think you will have enough pressure.
