NOTE: In order to allow only the indoor water to be treated, MAYTAG recommends that a

bypass around the MAYTAG Whole Home Water Filtration System be installed for all outside

hose bibs, irrigation systems, pool and hot tub makeup valves. This will also help to extend the

life of the MAYTAG Whole Home Water Filtration System.

5.2.1 Municipal and Well/Cistern Systems – MWF 4100 AWS and MWF 4200 AWS

Municipal systems provide treated water directly to households through a water distribution system. The

raw water can be taken from numerous sources, including wells and/or lake water. The water is treated

physically with mechanical filtration to raise the water quality to regional standards.

When the municipality does not supply water to households, a private pump/pressure tank style system is

required. These systems draw water from numerous sources including wells, cisterns (holding tanks), and

direct surface water (lakes or rivers). The recommended installation for well/cisterns and clean surface

water is the MWF 4200 AWS as shown in Figure 5.2. Cistern systems require a local water hauler to fill

the tank on a regular basis so that the household does not run out of water. These systems are often

supplemented by rooftop gutter collection systems. The only difference between the MWF 4100 AWS and

the MWF 4200 AWS is that the MWF 4200 AWS has a stainless steel pre-filter under the cap.

The MAYTAG Whole Home Water Filtration System is installed directly after the water meter as the

water enters the home, as shown in Figure 5.2.
