3.4.3.8 Turbidity

Existing in all raw water supplies, turbidity is a physical clouding of water. Turbidity can be comprised of

mud, silt, clay, and other sediments in water, in addition to some biological species, like algae and sulphur

bacteria (string-like fibre). Whatever the source, the end results are always the same - the water is cloudy.

Turbidity does not usually present a health risk, but has been known to interfere with disinfection processes

in water treatment plants.

The MAYTAG Whole Home Water Filtration system can reduce turbidity.

3.4.4 Surface Water Quality Concerns - MAYTAG Solutions

3.4.4.1 Microbial Contamination

Failing household septic systems and agricultural runoff may contribute to increased incidences of surface

water contamination. These may include bacteria, viruses, and parasites. In order to reduce the human

health risks associated with these organisms, treatment is required prior to use. Residences that are not

serviced by municipally treated water supplies are at greater risk, unless they provide some sort of

treatment to eliminate these contaminants.

The MAYTAG Whole Home Water Filtration System significantly reduces bacteria, viruses, and parasites

from drinking water using ZENON’s patented Water Filtration hollow fibre membranes.

3.4.4.2 Turbidity

Turbidity, described above in section 3.4.3.8, can also affect surface water quality.

3.4.5 MAYTAG Model Description And Raw Water Quality Applications

The MAYTAG Whole Home Water Filtration System is available in three models, each having its source

water applications and flush program choices. Each model is uniquely equipped to treat a specific source

water type.

Please refer to NSF and laboratory certifications for performance information.
