Inline Water Filter Kit for Ice Makers with 1/4" Tubing and a T-Connector

Purchased a new ice machine and liked that this was supposed to lady for up to 5 years

I bought this to install behind my daughter’s fridge for her ice maker. It was simple and quick to install. They have not had any problems with it at all. And it seems like it is going to be super simple to change filters when it is time.

I have a small kitchen and recently purchased a new refrigerator to replace my old one that died. I wanted a refrigerator with an ice maker. The ones with the ice and water dispenser in the door were too wide. The narrower ones that would fit had ice makers inside the freezer bin, but no water dispenser. Surprisingly, those models also didn't have a water filter. There was already a water supply for the refrigerator, so I just needed to install the filter between the supply and the refrigerator. They were 1/4" fittings. Most of the external filters were made for kitchen faucets and had 1/2" and 3/8" fittings. This one has 1/4" fittings. I'm no plumber and this was fairly easy to install. Where to locate the filter was my biggest issue. My refrigerator has the wall on one side and a counter top with drawers on the other side. I finally decided to put it in the little cabinet above the refrigerator. You know, the little cabinet that is pointless as it's hard to reach and too small to hold much of anything of use. In my picture, you'll see some slack in the tubing. That was on purpose so I could pull the filter out making it easier to change. Also, I can pull the refrigerator out, if need be. The back of my refrigerator is very close to the wall, so there was no room to mount the filter back there. Also, I didn't want to have to pull the refrigerator out to just change the filter. I used the included valve on the input of the filter in the cabinet, making it easy to shut off the water for a filter change.

I bought this four months ago and finally found time to install it today. I read all of the directions ahead of time and followed each step, including purging almost five gallons through the filter. Everything went fine until it came time to connect my refrigerator water line to the filter. I found my fridge ice maker water line had a female connector on the end. The filter kit comes with only female adapters. I had to go out and buy a ¼" male/male compression coupler in order to connect the two female ends together. Since the coupler is meant for copper tubing, it took quite a bit of tightening to get the tube end to stop leaking.I think the kit should come with at least one male adapter to connect to refrigerators that have a water line with a female end.

This works perfect for my countertop ice maker, keeps the ice tasting clean

Purchased this for a nugget ice maker and it has made a difference. The ice is softer now the water is filtered better. Will keep going with this brand. Easy to install and has not leaked.

My water filter on my Whirlpool refrigerator is difficult to access and change. I decided to purchase a inline water filter kit and make the process easier. I had a plumber come out and make the installation. Water and ice taste better. Very pleased

Purchased to go with ice maker and so far it has worked fine.
