Water dispenser

[Bricks]

I am getting low pressure for my water dispenser on my refridgerator. It takes a forever to fill a glass of water. Any suggestions for increasing the pressure from the main valve. thx

I suspect the fridge is fed by a 1/4" flexible tubing. Increase this size to 3/8" tubing and it should help.

Good Luck

Is this a recent development or a new install? If it has degraded, check for a dirty screen filter or something in the small tubing reducing flow. If you used a saddle valve, sometimes those don't install well and don't flow.

Check the water flow right at the place where you tap a larger pipe and see if the flow is OK. If so, there's a blockage upstream or the pipe is too small.

There is usually a filter inline somewhere between the tap and your fridge. Sometimes behind the fridge, sometimes in the basement if you have one. Trace from your fridge to where it taps into a water pipe. It probably needs changed.

If you find one and didnt know you had it, then you should change it for sure. :stupid:
