That's going to be a recipe for disaster." Nothing could be further from the truth. We provide something called the saddle valve, and you simply put the saddle valve over the water supply line, screw it in, tap the line, and you've made your water connection.

I would say 95% of people with basic home mechanical skills, would be able to perform a basic installation. If you start dealing with wiring and things like that, you may want to call in a plumber or home handy man, somebody that really knows what they are doing. It depends on the individual.
