1.8 Water Requirements
•
Use supplied water line fitting for water connection to the rear of the unit.
•
Use cold, potable water supply only with pressure between 20 to 120 psi.
•
Use ¼ inch OD copper tubing. Plastic tubing can be used, but may leak with age.
•
Use ¼ inch saddle shut off valve. Check to make sure valve complies with local
codes. Do not use self-piercing saddle valve or less than ¼ inch saddle valve as
water flow will be restricted.

A quality system water filter or local water filter is recommended. A quality
filter can remove particles as well as remove unpleasant taste and odors from

Softened water is not recommended. Depending on mineral concentrations, this
can produce mushy whit cubes that may stick together.
The above materials can be found at most local plumbing supply stores or hardware
stores. Follow the manufacture’s installation instructions for water valves and water line
hook-ups. Make certain the water line and the valve do not leak prior to enclosing
cabinet.
