There might be a valve at your water supply that needs to be opened up a bit more.

You can add a 10" carbon filter in between the water supply and the fridge if you can find a spot to hide it. It will last a lot longer and be a lot cheaper than cartridges for your fridge. They're commonly used as pre-filters for reverse osmosis systems.



Something like that but with smaller diameter fittings.

I actually have my reverse osmosis system in the water line leading to my fridge.

Does that cycle your RO on and off frequently?

I came ready to suggest the same thing. So thumbs up/ +1.

Also, I'd be really surprised if you're tasting chlorine. ;) Probably just some chloramines for residual disinfection, since chlorine causes major DBP issues. But since your source water is apparently super clean....maybe so. Sorry, couldn't help myself!

I bet in a double blind taste test, you cant taste the difference.

#$@%ing Vancouverites. Just about as bad as the California Douches.

For the most part the RO is a passive system. The water goes into the RO system that then puts the water in a small 2 or 3 gallon pressure tank. Also I have more than just the fridge on it so I probably empty the tank every day or so.

     For the most part, all fridges will fill at the same rate. (More or less) once the filter wears in a little, it might go faster as it wears out, or slower as it gums up. 36" is probably the most common size for refrigerators, so all of them will do the same basic function. It sounds to me like you're more looking for an in home filter (does the whole house) or a faucet filter. (Probably a better choice) they're much cheaper filters that attach to a faucet, or you could split the water line so there's a seperate spout for the filtered water. Much cheaper, and it doesn't take up much space under the sink. Filter lasts "about a year" and has as much faster fill rate. (Like any kitchen faucet) I'd suggest starting there if water is your main focus. Then get a fridge with. A tv on front and is a wifine hotspot... with blue tooth speakers, of course....
I have friends that go down to mount Shasta to fill their 5 gal jugs full of sweet sweet "mountain water". Seems like they waste more in gas getting there from Southern oregon... also, I just moved to the portland area, and your water is f@$#ing amazing. In chicago, we had to chew the tap water.
