+1. Dont drink DI water.

I have an AquaSafe too and my tee is located after the 4th stage, 1 goes to the pressure tank and the other to the DI stage which then fills up my storage barrel equipped with only a float valve. The fridge should be fed from the pressure tank because you'll need the pressure and enough stored water to keep up with the demand from the ice maker and to get a decent flow to dispense drinking water.

If you do decide to go ahead with the RO to your fridge, I hope you find the info you need

I'll say though that, when we first hooked up our RO, we drank the water for a month or so. It was nice to not smell chlorine, but after awhile we lost interest in the water as it has no flavor

We've since gone back to tapwater for drinking and are quite happy with it

My 5 cents is, especially because you're in the GVRD/Metro Vancouver Area with the best water around, save your money for something more important

Seems to me you already have all the parts you need and won't have to buy anything extra.

I've been drinking ro water since I put in the system for the aquarium. Still this side of the grass!

This link will help you to "see" more clearly Shao

http://www.watergeneral.com/support/pdf/RD102.pdf

Refer to page 9 rt hand diagram, model RD106
Not affiliated, just a diagram I found on the net.

The 5th stage would be your DI, the 6th stage is just another carbon filter to get rid of the "rubber" taste of the storage tank.
Where it says to RO faucet, thats the faucet you installed on your counter, close to the sink, so you could have drinking water, before it gets to your fridge. If you have it this is where you would tee off to go to your fridge.
If you don't have that faucet, then go straight to your fridge outlet from there.

Hope that helps
