Hooking ice maker up to bottled water.
Has annyone hooked up their ice maker up to bottled water, if so HOW? Last couple of hook ups the water had a lot of flavor, so the DW needed me to get her fresh ice, PITA. So I was just wondering ...

I think you might need to hook up a bottled water dispenser to a dedicated water pump feeding the icemaker. While you are at it, hook up a drinking water tap. If it is an ice maker in a refrigerator, gravity fill won't work, the device is expecting more pressure.
There are portable ice makers that are gravity fill. I find it easier to fill ice cube trays from my RO purified drinking water supply, put them in the freezer. Got into that habit when I lived where RO purified was the only safe water source for drinking, unless you boiled, and even then the tap water had an oily taste. Every home, every office had a dispenser.
Ice makers, water chillers in a fridge are usable if you find the water drinkable after whatever treatment you apply. Easier to do at home, where the supply is more predictable and you know just what you have to filter out, physically or chemically.
Great suggestion -- will look at hooking the filtered drinking water tap at the sink when I figure it all out.
Thanks,
