Slow cold water delivery GE side by side refrigerator
 
Didn't see a search function; pardon me if this has been covered.

After much complaining by the wife of slow water delivery in our GE
side by side refrigerator, I changed the filter. Much to my
disapointment, this did not solve the problem as it seemed to have done
in the past.

Any suggestions to this problem or the outrageous cost of filters?

You can try turning the water off and on a few times where the fridge line
connects to the house system. Sometimes crud builds up at the disconnect.
This is especially true of the piercing type valves. In fact your best flow
will be realized by replacing a piercing valve with a regular shutoff.

Has it always been slow? IF so I bet you have a self piecing valve as your
main water tap. (its the little valve that goes around the pipe to connect
the refridgerator to the water). THe manual speciffically warns against
using the self piecring variaty for low flow reasons. There is another type
that uses a drilled hole and is recommended.
