Like most people where I live, I have to buy bottled water for drinking and cooking. I may be trading for a refrigerator which is set up to dispense water as well as make and dispense ice. Is there any practical way to set a refrigerator to draw from a 5 gallon jug of water (or something else comparable)? Would gravity be enough pressure?

If you had the 5 gallon bucket just up in the air 10 feet above the fridge you'd gain about 5 PSI. Now that's very low trickle. Fair enough. I'll try to read up on my options. Not knowing much about pumps, is there a particular type of pump used in this kind of situation which is the name I'll start searching with? Maybe cistern pumps?

Our community's water supply has been tainted by a chemical spill. Unfortunately it's going to take more than a water filter.
