Instructions say to turn off water valve before installing, meaning refrige would have to be pulled out from enclosure each time. Is this true?

That's a good question. I must have missed that in my reading of the instructions. I have changed 4 since I've had my fridge and I've never shut off the valve. I simply untwist the old one, pull it out, line up the marks of the new one to the housing, and turn whichever way the arrow says to until it locks in. Then I "run" the water until it flows like its supposed to. The only other guidance I have is to check your fridge manual for the true directions. Best of luck!!!

Shut water off, pull out hose, raise hose above the end for the water to drain, reel back in hose, pull off assembly off of bracket and store. If you can't, leave both ends disconnected after draining for the freeze/ thaw cycle. In case you don't know you should always turn your water valves for the outside off from the inside (to prevent line breakage) unless you have the long anti-siphon valves. Hope this helps.

It was attributed to operator error. All you need to do is if you do in fact remove the 80 reservoir is to purge the air lock between the filter and the outlet by pushing up and in on the valve underneath until water flows. Just a simple and quick task to preform and your unit will never have any cavitation issues.

Yes, you can turn it off for a short time. It will continue to drip so that your water temp stays constant. You must turn it off with the wall valve when you're done.

I have no problem with mine when I turn it on however when I turn it off I hear pipes rattle which is caused by pipes not secured properly or the plumber did not put in a air absorber which is a 3''-6'' pipe above the angle stop. It a stops the water from jarring the pipes.

yes i made it all the way through (its possible)..having asked such question marks the possibility of you having a defected/broken shutoff valve..in case you do..try to shut down the water of the house as whole before replacing it or call the maintenance guy plus if you have leakage you need a teflon tape

There is a little knob right above the handle that is an on and off valve.... Turn that... Mine came in off position.

You do need to turn the water off at the sink, run it until the water stops, and then twist it off and pull it down. Be careful putting the new one on. You don't want to displace the gasket. Carefully push it straight up and then twist it into place. There should be instructions with the cartridge.

I'm going to assume you mean a separate box that encloses the unit and the valves to be installed below. If that's correct, then the answer is no, there is no other enclosure. What you see in the picture is what you get. Hope this helps -JD

I've got 7 taco valves that were installed in 1997. I have just replaced 3 of them. I googled and found good instructions plus you tube video. You just slightly push in towards valve and twist head counter clockwise & pull off!! Opposite to place new unit on. Turn thermostat all way off so no power is going to the respective valve & give enough time to cool completely to reduce expansion.

Remove front cover and then remove screws and unit will slide out after you disconnect the hoses from the valve. Don't forget to shut the water off.

You need to adjust the temperature value which is the right side valve. The installion book that came with the valve will show you how to do it. You shouldn't need to do this adjustment unless some else touch it or your water temperature on your cold side is warm and not really cold so some adjustment maybe necessary.

Yes, you do need to remove the water tank to refill it. It "loads" and dispenses through the same hole at the bottom of the tank. However, you do not need to turn the unit off to do this. There is already enough water in the reservoir for the steamer to safely run while refilling the dispenser.

Once the assembly is installed and connected to the 3/4" water lines it is fixed in place. The control portion of the valve can be removed if an O ring were to fail. There are stops to turn off the water at the valve so any maintainence can be performed without turning off the water main. It is a well engineered unit.

You will need a shutoff if you want one, keep in mind this is an old fashioned sweat system. I installed Pex in my location, the sweat adapters where cheap but I needed an experienced plumber to install them (worked for beer). I thought about putting angled turn off valves in but backed off at the last minute. For the price a great deal for a quality system, also be forewarned you will need to plug that bottom port to the bathtub. I heard there is a plug in the box but I must of misplaced it was not fun finding a replacement.

Yes. When the water tank is empty, the unit has an automatic shut off. I've never had any problems and leave the unit on 24/7 at the desired humidity level.

Make sure the manual valve is in the off position (up) . Then turn a quarter turn clockwise . It should lift right off . Sometimes you have to push down as you turn . Good luck.
