I see a few options.
Get a new spouse
Hire a plumber to run a water line
Somehow hook up your water cooler.

The problem I see is water pressure. I don't know what your model has,
but most just use gravity for the water to flow. You need some minimal
amount of pressure to the fridge. If the Flojet can keep the line
pressured when the fridge calls for water, that can work. You'd need a
relay to turnit on when the valve on the fridge opens. Talk to a good
applianc repair guy.

Personally, I would not want to live without a water dispenser and ice
in the fridge. We use a lot of it.

Apparently the Flojet is there to provide the pressure. It's designed to work with one of those big spring water bottles and pump it to a sink dispenser, fridge, etc. It keeps the outgoing side at preddure. So if she has a water cooler I think it should work as long as they can connect the suction side of the new Flojet to the piping inside the water cooler and have AC power available. The plus would be using good bottled water for the ice.
