Can I run a line to the cold-water kitchen tap, the cold-water bathroom tap and to the refrigerator ice-maker? None of the lines would be very long.

We ran a an extra hose from the filter to the refrigerator so that we would have clean filtered cold water and ice cubes from our refrigerator, so yes it can be done. You will need a T shaped adapter to connect the hose to your filter and another adapter to connect that hose to the refrigerator hose. You can pick this up at your local hardware store. I'm not sure if you can run 3 additional lines if thats what you are asking me. I haven't tried it but I would think that you probably would not have enough water pressure from your filter to move the water through 3 additional lines.

You can but pressure and flow could be affected by hose length. I do not recommend more than 10 meters (30 ft) in any individual branch.

I would recommend that you only run lines to designated RO faucets and not your regular faucets. The RO holding tank is small and the daily RO rate is probably much smaller than you would run through regular faucets. Some refrigerator ice makers also don't like RO lines because they don't provide enough volume resulting in small ice cubes that tend to clog the chute. The length of the lines doesn't that much affect, it's the available volume of water and its pressure.

RO water is aggressive and will attack copper (or galvanized) pipe, pulling out the copper and eventually eroding the pipe. If you have plastic piping then you should be fine.

I did not read anywhere in instructions that you can't. We have done that on over 20 additions for last 3 years with no issues. We have pex hot/cold for a sink , pex hose bib and copper ice maker line. They all are looped together with same cable.

This faucet does not use any type of power. It just hooks up inline with your sink's cold water line.

If you have a sink with a hot water supply line within a few feet of the toilet, the included hardware and supply hose should be sufficient to run the hot water from the sink to the toilet. If you do not have hot water anywhere in the same room as the toilet, it would probably be best to buy a cold water-only model (assuming you don't wish to incur the expense of having a plumber install a new hot water line in the room).

Yes - It would be relatively easy to connect to the refrigerator icemaker hose. However, if your kitchen is set up like mine, then they would need to be placed behind the refrigerator.

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.

Not unless you have a system. This faucet is sold with a heater which goes under the cabinet. In our case we have a osmosis system in the center island which gives us filtered hot and cold water. This water also is piped underground to our ice maker in the refrigerator.

Yes it can. Most likely you will need additional 1/4" tubing for the run to the sink as well as the run to the drain line. I purchased a saddle valve to provide the water supply from a cold water pipe in the basement. I would recommend hanging the main filtration unit on the wall.

I have it connected to a water line. I don't know if you can connect it to the sink.

there are a hot and cold line that come out of the base. They are labeled. I had to get extension lines for mine to reach my existing water lines.

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.

Yes you can install it in your basement as long as you can tap into your main water line. You also have to be able to drill into a water drain pipe near by as the system flushes and drains during filtering which is part of all reverse osmosis systems. You will require additional 1/4" tubing also sold by Amazon.com. and possibly a different type of plumbing tap into your cold water pipe as what is included is to be connected under your sink. This is no big deal as you can purchase from Amazon.com or your local hardware store a water line tap(known as a saddle valve) and very easy to install for the novice home handy person. for 1/4" tubing just like you would use for connecting the cold water line to an ice maker for under $10. The faucet has to be installed flat like a regular faucet near the sink so it can drain into your sink and cannot be installed directly on a wall but on the sink or sink countertop itself. THIS IS A GREAT SYSTEM. I love it. I hope this helps and have a great day.

No, you hook it up to the regular water line and you can choose hot or cold water from the unit itself

Well, you can and I did, but let me tell you why and give you a cautionary note. In my case, it was a remote bathroom sink. It takes forever for the hot water to get over there. So I put this under the sink with a dedicated 30A circuit, attached to the hot water side. It is however heating cold water, because the water in the hot water pipe coming from the other side of the house is invariably cold. This allows someone to wash their hands with warm/hot water instead of waiting 5 minutes with the water running. You would never need 5 minutes worth of hot water at that sink. Now, what would happen beyond that? Well, if you kept running the water on full hot until the hot water from the house system reached this unit, it would continue to heat the water anyway, resulting in scalding hot water coming out of the tap. So depending on your application, you may want to do it the way I did. Or not.

Yes. It comes with a fitting that connects to the cold water line underneath your sink. The only water that gets filtered is water coming out of the filtrete faucet. No loss in water pressure. No need to run water for a while when you want to drink fresh water. Also easy to install.

No. That would require an input for both hot and cold water lines. This has only one input.
