I have got a Samsung F/F and the water is dispensing very slowly from reading the manual I might need a booster pump , any idea where I can purchase one of these. Many Thanks WW
Re: Samsung F/F Booster Pump
Double check first that the in-line water filter (if one is fitted?) isn’t saturated and simple needs replacing? For a inlet water booster pump contact a local plumber who could install one for you.
Re: Samsung F/F Booster Pump
They don’t work well in low water pressure, I know, I’ve had the same problem in the past but I’ve never heard or seen a booster pump for one.
A whole house booster pump to raise the water pressure in the whole house, yes. But, not just for a single appliance. Are you sure that they don’t mean that, as in, a whole home booster pump?

Re: Samsung F/F Booster Pump
The Manual says “if the f/f is installed in an area with low water pressure(below 138kpa) u can install a booster pump to compensate for the low water pressure” The thing is our previous machine had no problem with the dispenser it used to almost flood out, Thanx WW
Re: Samsung F/F Booster Pump
Have you taken the inlet hose off and checked the inlet valve filter? Whilst it’s off you can check the flow rate through the hose by timing how long it takes to fill (for example) a 2 gallon bucket. 💡
Re: Samsung F/F Booster Pump
Did you use the full length of plastic tubing to install the water supply as this can slow the dispense speed if you have poor water pressure.
If you take the mains supply as close to the fridge as possible and keep the plastic mains feed as short as possible it should work fine on low water pressure.
Also make sure no kinks in the supply tubing under the kick plate at the front and under the door.
Keep the water supply tubing as short as possible but allow enough to move the fridge out to get to the back.
The only small pumps available that would fit are the 240v caravan type water pumps.
The manufacturers only recomend whole house booster pumps.
