Contaminated water may enter your home, which can cause serious health problems, even death. See “Safety Instructions” section for Bypass Instructions and warnings.

What happens if the power goes out?

Nothing. The timer has a built in battery backup designed for power failure. The MAYTAG Whole Home Water Filtration System does not require power to filter water and your System will filter water provided adequate water pressure is available at the source. If the power goes out during a scheduled cleaning, the System will return to filtering water and wait for the next scheduled time for cleaning.

Is there a replaceable prefilter needed?

If used, the Carbon Prefilter needs to be replaced every 12 months. Also, if the External Prefilter is used it will need to be replaced approximately every 6 months depending on water conditions.

What are the maintenance requirements?

An annual maintenance inspection, integrity test and Carbon Prefilter change is performed annually by a MAYTAG Services Qualified Service Technician. There is a nominal fee for the annual service. If an External Prefilter is used, this will also need to be checked approximately every 6 months.
