How to Connect From a RO Pure Tank to an Icemaker
An RO Pure tank uses reverse osmosis in a filtration system to supply clean water. The equipment is typically used in areas with hard water, especially households served by a well, to prevent odd tastes and heavy minerals, which can build up in appliances and cause clogging. Hooking up the tank to an ice maker requires a T-pipe to connect the ice maker's existing line to the cold-water blue tube from the RO Pure tank. Materials are available at plumbing stores.
