Hi Karen,
You can hook up your water filter to the fridge. I will try to cut a long story short. I live in Sydney Autralia and a few years back Sydney had a big water scare. In water tests they found traces of Crypto Spiridum and Guardia, in other words dangerous tiny organisns in the water.So as you can imagine water filter sales went through the roof.
Well me being me.. I wasn’t going to miss out on ice in my drinks and the filter in the fridge wasn’t doing to do the job.
So I bought a water filter and hooked it up.
I am sure water filters are much the same as ours here. The water filter you have now dose it go to its own tap at the sink because if so you will need to buy a three way value from the filter shop so you get water to the fridge and the filter tap. At the back of the fridge you will see a skinney black hose which lets water into the fridge. On your water filter you have a “water in side” and a “water out side” my filter uses a yellow hose for in and blue hose for out. You may need to buy a couple of meters of blue hose so its reaches the fridge. Cut the blue hose about 50cm down the filter put the three way valve on it.
Put the black fridge hose on one side and the filter tap on the other side. So what you have is the water coming out of the filter being split two ways one to fridge and the other to the tap.
I am not very good at explaining things. If you have an e-mail I will take a photo of the back of the fridge and send it to you so you can see what I mean.
