VEVOR Bottled Water Dispenser Pump System, 5 Gallon Dispensing System, Automatic Electric Water Dispenser, Single Inlet Water Jug Pump, Compatible Use with Coffee/Tea Machine, Refrigerator, Ice Maker

We replaced out cabin refrigerator recently. Unlike our old fridge, the new model came with an ice maker and water in the door. An Amazon.com search produced this pump, complete with supply hoses for a 4-5 gallon jug and refrigerator hook up. I installed the pump and jug in an adjacent kitchen cabinet, drilling a 1.25" hole through the cabinet wall for the power cord and water line. Some reviewers mention the pump's noise, but it's only on when the ice maker and/or water in the door are engaged, just a few seconds and honestly it's not that bad. Thanks to whoever thought of this system. PROS: 110v plug, fresh water anywhere you have power, easy to install, enough psi to trigger the ice maker, affordable, comes with a long supply hose and fittings to connect to a refrigerator. CONS: would like a slightly longer power cord (workaround - a grounded extension cord). UPDATE 7/6/21: Something went wrong. Instructions say the pump will shut down when the water jug is empty. Well, the jug was empty but the pump kept running. I've filled the jug but the pump hums without sending water to the refrig. Lines aren't pinched. It sounds like it is not priming. I hope the manufacturer will see this and offer a suggestion. 4 stars now - in hopes there is a work around. UPDATE 7/10/21: Called customer service and was promised a call back yesterday morning. Didn't happen. Now 3 stars. UPDATE 7/11/21: I took the system apart. I'm guessing there was a obstruction in the water line. The pump worked so I flushed and reconnected the lines. Voila! I'm a happy customer again. Back to 5 stars. If you have trouble, try removing and reinstalling all hoses / connections.

Super value for the money if you goal is to provide easier access to bottled water than a traditional water cooler.This system is simple, pretty easy to install and so far works well. There can be issues with the shut off valves in the bottle wands- if they don’t close completely when the bottle empties the pump may continue to run sucking air. I make sure to periodically knock the bottoms of the wands where the float valves are against the bottle bottoms. Especially when changing to new full water bottles from empties.Special note: like me you may wish to locate the actual five gallon bottles remotely from the pump and output supply line to your faucet or ice maker. If so that’s likely to require that you extend the 1/2” ID line from the pump to the bottles location. The line supplied in the kit is high quality hose that does not impart taste or odor to water passing through it. I found out aftermarket hose from hardware stores may not be the same. Even if advertised as drinking or potable water safe it may add undesirable taste or odor to what comes out your faucet. Especially if it sits in the line more than a few hours.The answer for me has been to buy the hose needed from a marine supply store. Hose that is specifically labeled for potable water. Since most boats use hoses to supply fresh water from storage to faucet this is a common need. And those hoses are expected to be perfect. And so far they have been. It’s worth the extra cost per foot the marine supply (West Marine in my case) charges over what the hardware store charges since you will get the hose you really need. Use the plastic hose barbs also at marine supply to connect your new hose to the hose supplied with this kit. Like the hose they impart no taste. Make sure to clamp them with stainless hose clamps. Even small air leaks will cause your pump to loose prime because of air pockets in the hose.

First of all, my family loves the fact we have ice and water now in the garage. The only negative thing, but I still gave it 5 stars, were the instructions are horrible. I had to find youtube videos on similar products to make sure I set it up correctly. Once I found those, it was simple! It works great so i am not going to ding this company...but probably should, but it just works, its quiet and efficient. No complaints here after the install. If you are not mechanically inclined, you are going to need a video to set this up, but once you do, you will be happy!

As described, works as it should. We use bottled water for consumption as we have hard water here. My fridge has dual ice makers in it and requires 50 psi to be able to feed the water cooler function and ice makers.This solved the issue. It's automatic and kicks on and off when it needs to, works as it should, overall good product and happy so far at 2 months in to service. Would buy again and would recommend it. Slightly loud but it only kicks on for a few seconds here and there and that would be just the way I have it mounted. Its in a cabinet next to the refrigerator so I could hide the water bottle. I'm sure if it was a more solid mounting area it would be far.less noticeable.

due to the lack of pressure it had issues with suppling the ice maker but the water dispenser it worked okay when filling a glass it had good pressure half way then died down the other half it decided to stop working 3 months into owning wouldn’t recommend complete waste of money
