Cleaning the Stainless Steel Casing

The stainless steel surface of your MAYTAG Whole Home Water Filtration System requires no special maintenance. If required the surface may be cleaned using a mild soap solution. Do not use any other cleaners or abrasive materials on the stainless steel surface as these cleaners may damage the label. Wipe the System dry with a soft cloth afterward.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the System do?

The System has been specifically designed to physically block and remove bacteria, viruses and parasites including cryptosporidium and giardia (beaver fever) and to eliminate cloudiness from your drinking water.

The Carbon Prefilter removes chlorine to improve taste and odours in municipal water.

The System effectively filters all municipal, well and lake water.

Where is the System installed?

The System is installed at the point where water enters the house to provide filtered water from every tap. Water is available on demand with no wasted water during filtration.
