[bri777]

We are going to buy a fridge with icemaker
my question is
can we use reg water with the included filter or do we need to some how connect bottled water?

I've only seen one. It used bottled water. Most people recommend against using tap water for anything you will consume.

I think it is quite easy to connect bottled water to it - all the fridges I have seen with icemakers had bottled water connected.

What is in the water that they recommend against drinking? is it bacteria related, or mineral related? Have always been curious about this.

There are all sorts of nasty bugs in the water here.

Our refridgerators connected to the bottled water. You can buy a pump from the store at the same time as the refridgerator and have them install it for you or buy a separate water supply system. (I saw one in F. Americana, the other day!)

we have a fridge with water dispenser and ice maker. it is connected to a large water bottle and has a simple pump. works well. in addition the water is filtered by the fridge too.

I have seen these at Corripo, at the time for around RD$8,500.00

Aqua-EZ-Flo Floject Bottled Water Dispensing Systems and Pumps

I bought mine on-line, works great, constant ice now for more than 4 years, only thing is changing the bottle, be surprised at how fast 5 gallons goes to make ice!

I bought the little faucet too, and mounted it on the sink, wife loves it, no more tipping bottles.

We use the flo Jet system and we are very happy with it. You can get it online for about $115 but then you have to have someone bring it down from the states or Canada for you.

Aquarium Water | Reverse Osmosis | RODI Water | ReefKeeper Water | Reverse Osmosis Under Sink RO

this company is very popular with high end saltwater aquarium / reef aquarium keepers here in the U.S. I have one of their bigger units from a few years ago. this new system is tailored for home use in kitchens. great company with great service. (NO.. I have no stake in this... just a happy, satisfied customer.)

These are neat machines - I have one.
Every time you open a fridge door you loose energy! $$$$

Cheaper to buy smaller fridge and separate ice maker I think
