If the refrigerator is installed in an area
with low water pressure (below 30psi),
you can install a booster pump to
compensate for the low pressure.
The water connection must be made
by a qualified plumber. Operation
outside the water pressure range
may cause malfunction, or severe
and damaging water leaks.
