Sub-Zero with Reverse Osmosis Water System
Topics:
- Can the water supply for a Sub-Zero come from a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system?
- Can Sub-Zero with an internal water filter be connected to an RO system?
- Are there any concerns when using a Reverse Osmosis system?
Answer:
A reverse osmosis (RO) system may be used with Sub-Zero products.
- It is acceptable to connect a non-water filter model to an RO system as long as the water pressure remains steady and is adequate between 35 - 120 psi.
- This ensures the icemaker will operate properly.
- Consider adding a pressure booster or regulator if water pressure is inconsistent or too low.
- Contact the reverse osmosis provider or speak with a plumber for suggestions on boosters.
- Copper should not be used after the RO system, as this can cause leaching. Check with your RO provider.
- For models with an internal water filter already installed, it is advised to bypass the Sub-Zero water filtration system when connecting the product to an RO system.
