If you have an internal water filter such as a whole house water pic water purifier, turn off the water supply to the house, then take the cannister off and remove the filter cartridge. After emptying the cannister fill it with regular unscented Clorox bleach. Put the cannister back on (without the filter cartridge) filled with bleach and then turn the water back on. Remove all facet screens throughout the house and run the water. Continuing running the water at all facets, toilets, etc until the bleach smell is gone. You will be SHOCKED at the crud that comes out of the lines. You water pressure will improve greatly and the quality of water will improve. Make sure you remove all screens from facets first or they will clog up instantly. It also helps if you simultaneouly drain the hot water tank from the bottom (with a hose and a floor drain). This will improve the life of your hot water heater and give you hotter cleaner water. After all this is done put a fresh filter in your home water filter system. You'll thank me a million times. This should be done quarterly especially if you have well water.

How do you descale Keurig coffee maker?
If this particular model has a reservoir for the water, you simply fill the reservoir half and half with white vinegar and water and brew it through an empty filter. After that runs through, run a full reservoir of fresh water through unless you enjoy pickle-flavored coffee. Do this quarterly if you have extremely hard water. If you use distilled water, you'll never need to de-scale the coffee maker and your coffee won't be tainted by off-flavors from the tap water. If your coffee maker does not have a reservoir, but is plumbed into a supply line, you'll need to follow the manufacturer's recommendations--which probably involves breaking the connection and pumping vinegar water through the coffee maker.

How do install a water line into a refrigerator ice maker?
I've changed the Ice maker and the wated controler on the back of the Frige.... But when I turn the Ice maker on nothing happens.

Is this correct or should water flow in once it's hooked-up?

Where is the water filter on an ice-maker?
If you have water and ice in the door, most of them are at the bottom in the front below the door. If you just have an ice maker inside the freezer, the filter is placed along the line from the water supply. This can be behind the fridge, below the floor, or behind the wall, as long as it is easily accessible in case of breaks in the line or replacing the filter.
