Tools and Hardware Reviews of Flojet BW1000A Bottled Water Dispensing System
Customer Review: A great way to connect a refrigerator to bottled water...
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is a great way to connect a refrigerator to a bottled water system. A few suggestions if you are considering the purchase of this unit or a similar solution where you need to connect bottled water to your fridge:
1. ITT (Flojet) also makes a "dual" bottled water system which allows you to connect two five gallon water bottles at the same time. They call this the "Dual Inlet Bottled Water Dispensing System" and the model number is BW1020A. If you intend to run both the refrigerator's icemaker and water dispenser and you use a lot of water, consider the dual system. I bought the dual inlet model instead and I'm glad I did, we go through a lot of bottled water since we can't really drink the well water here...
2. In our house, the kitchen shares a wall with the garage, and we were able to easily drill a hole and run the 1/4" line through the wall - this keeps the Flojet pump in a different room and makes changing the bottled water easier since we store it in the garage anyway. If you have the opportunity to setup your system this way, I highly recommend it. Having the pump in a different room is important because the pump is loud when running, and since the icemaker will kick in and out at various times it is nice to have the pump located elsewhere. I don't think I would be happy with this solution if the pump had to be inside the kitchen since the noise would be a real problem.
3. Since virtually every refrigerator with a water connection uses the 1/4" tubing line, and since this unit includes 20' of 1/4" tubing, you don't really need anything to connect this to a refrigerator except for a 1/4" tubing union, which is not included. You could get one at your local hardware store, but Amazon has them and they are Prime eligible, here is the link: Celcon Acetal Copolymer "Push to Connect" Tubing Connector - Union Connector , 1/4". These are the easiest possible connectors to use, just push the tubing in on both sides and you're done. Here is another example of a 1/4" union: JACO Bulkhead Union - 1/4 inch Tube O.D. Female x 1/4 inch Tube O.D. Female just in case that one is gone...
Description of Flojet BW1000A Bottled Water Dispensing System
The FloJet Model BW1000A Bottled Water Dispensing System is designed to pump water from commercially available 3, 5, or 6 gallon water bottles. The system delivers the bottled water under pressure to a sink mounted drinking water faucet, or to the water inlet of a refrigerator, icemaker, coffee brewer, or Jupiter Water Ionizer. The suction wand, when inserted into the water bottle, activates the float switch on the pump. This float switch also shuts off the system when the bottle is empty. The wand has a built in back-flow valve to prevent water from flowing back into the bottle. Universal seal cap most containers - Fits 3, 5, and 6 gallon plastic water bottles Suction wand and hose assembly Float switch for automatic shut-off when bottle is empty. Built-in check valve to prevent back flow Pump module with On/Off switch Installation and maintenance instructions Compact size for easy travelingWater Pressure Pumps
