Why the hell would my fridge be connected tonthe water main in the first place?
I guess if you have one of those fancy fridges where you can get cold water or ice. Some of them require a water connection
Its a pretty standard feature
Oh look at this guy with his fancy fridge that just gives away water!
What are you talking about?
I get not everyone has clean running water in the world, this sounds backwards.
How do you end up in place where you can multifunction fridges but not clean running water?
The city of Flint, Michigan, has entered the chat.
But in more seriousness there are plenty of mostly harmless impurities in many municipal water systems such as an excess of minerals i.e. "hard water" and water filters can improve the quality of water that is considered clean enough to drink.
Is this a meme I am too European to understand?
My fridge has water hookup but no filter. It makes ice. I have never cleaned it. I put the ice in everything.
At the same time, I get really weird about drinking out of fridges at vrbos as they often have a water Dispenser with a filter and zero indication of when that filter was ever changed (never is a safe bet).
