By melting snow and ice with a warm surface, we are simply creating water as runoff, no salt or chemicals, and will not impact nearby water sheds.

Install the tee fitting on the tubing connected to the RO system by pushing one of the two aligning ends onto the tubing as far as you can, then pulling lightly to verify tubing is secure.

Have you ever been to a hospital when it has been snowing and noticed that there typically isn’t any snow or ice in front of the doors? Most hospitals have snowmelt in the entrances to reduce the chance of patients and visitors slipping and/or falling.

What is it? Hydronic snowmelting is a system where PEXa pipes are buried in concrete, asphalt or under pavers, circulating a warm water/glycol mix through it, warming the surface thus melting the snow/ice on the surface.

If you have a refrigerator with a water dispenser and/or ice maker, you may want to run the water line from your reverse osmosis system drinking water system (installed under your kitchen sink) to the fridge. This way you'll have RO-treated water at your fridge dispenser and eliminate the need to purchase expensive refrigerator filters.

There are many reasons for wanting or needing to install a snowmelt system. In most cases there are several features or benefits taken into consideration when making that decision.

Secondly, before you begin the project, you'll need to acquire an RO Fridge Ice maker Kit based on the size of your tubing. Generally, the tubing is 3/8" or 1/4".

This set-up is not recommended for applications requiring more than 30 feet of tubing without modifications including tubing larger than ¼” and connectors.

Shut off the cold water line coming into your RO system and locate the tube that connects your RO system to your RO water faucet. Place a large bowl or bucket near the RO system below this tube.

Be sure you have the recommended water pressure to your ice maker. This will be defined by the refrigerator manufacturer in your fridge owner's manual.

Take the new ¼” tubing and cut a 10” piece off. Insert the 10” piece of tubing into the Tee line, which should be perpendicular to the tubing line going from the RO system to the faucet.

First, keep in mind that water pressure from the RO system will be about 2/3 the pressure of the cold-water line. And there may be specific pressure considerations for some refrigerators requiring you to consult a local water treatment expert.

The system can be designed utilizing an automatic control strategy that will sense snow fall and surface temperatures and automatically turn the system on and off as needed. This allows for a more managed control approach with big energy savings as compared to a manually run system.

Creating a safe no-slip surface for elderly or handicapped people, easier access, reducing liability of someone getting hurt from falling and injuring themselves.

Most reverse osmosis drinking water systems utilize John Guest fittings, which are popular quick-connect fittings that make installation easy without the need for tools. Also, their push-fit design ensures secure tubing connections, minimizing the risk of leaks. Learn how to connect and disconnect your RO system tubing with John Guest fittings.

Using the knowledge, products, and experience, we eliminate any concern you may have by guiding the contractor in the design and installation process for an optimized final result.

Connect one end of the remaining long ¼” tubing to the other end of the shutoff ball valve. This valve should be turned off (pointed perpendicular from the tubing line) until the holding tank is completely filled.

If your refrigerator has copper piping for the icemaker line, do not connect your reverse osmosis drinking water system to the fridge. Copper piping or fittings should not be used with RO-treated water.

The MrPEX® Barrier PEX-a tubing has proven durability at the highest level and comes with a 30 year warranty. In addition, by using snowmelt in areas with pavers or decorative concrete, wear and tear is reduced significantly, increasing the life of the surface and structure.

You can hire a water treatment specialist to do the installation for you, or you can follow these step-by-step instructions below and set it up yourself.

Run the ¼” polypropylene tubing from the reverse osmosis system and connect to the refrigerator. Generally, 20 feet of tubing is enough, but you can run up to 30 feet. If you use more than 30 feet of tubing between the RO system and fridge, use a tube larger than ¼” tubing and fittings for best results.

When it is time to change your RO filters, shut off the inline valve until the filter change is complete and the system has been thoroughly flushed.

Cut the tubing approximately 10 inches from where the tube comes out of the RO system, letting water drain into the bowl or bucket
