Fridge Filters
Modern fridges today have their own water supply and built-in carbon block water fridge filter and the idea is great but the practicality is that it is very expensive to replace, the life cycle is very short and if the feed water quality is bad the filter blocks very quickly. At the agent pricing of R400 – R600 per 4 months that is no joke !
Example of an Inline Sediment & Post carbon Wall Mounted Fridge Kit costing less than R450 and lasts 12 to 18 months
with replacement parts readily available.

This version can also be used for Free Standing Dispensers with a Float Valve Modification Kit

Fridge Filter Kits can be mounted on the back of the fridge or on the wall as in this picture and can consist of up to 3 different filters depending on your feed water quality
By simply bypassing the originally supplied filter in the fridge and installing a Crushed Coconut Post Carbon water filter not only do you get much longer life cycle ( up to 18 months) at a fraction of the cost but it is also a cinch to do.
The fridge filter Kit consists of 3 m of food quality tubing, Ezee feed adapter plus steel ball Valve for the water mains attachment , 1 x Crushed Coconut Post Carbon Filter , Attachment Clip Set and 2 x Elbows.
In addition , existing water filter systems that may already be installed in the kitchen can be attached to these fridges by means of a t-piece and some piping. (Fridge Kit XT 1/4 )
Fridge Filter Kit XT 1/4 consists of either 5 m of 1/4″ tubing and 1/4 ” to 1/4 ” t-piece and is designed for existing systems whose pressure is better than 1.5 bars at the output and who wish to attach the fridge / ice maker to the existing filter system
Fridge Filter Kit XT 3/8 also known as the fast flow system and is great for modern fridges fed by standard Reverse Osmosis systems without Booster pumps. Fridge manufacturers state that a minimum of 1.5 bars continuous pressure is required on the dispenser and ice maker supply line.
A standard Reverse Osmosis System cannot do this and that’s where this unit works really well. Or if the water feed pressure is already low to the under counter filter system.The fast flow piping for fridge filters works really well
The kit consists of 5 m of 3/8″ food quality tubing, 3/8″ to 3/8″ T-piece , 2 x in-line 1/4″ to 3/8″ reducing connectors . Please remember , if you have an R.O system, to ask for the 3/8″ tank ball valve as well
It is best to contact technical support first so that they can assist you in choosing the correct kit for your requirements.
