Product review (1 stars): Reduces flow substantially as UKF-8001 replacement
Though the product fits like my Maytag UKF 8001 filter does, it restricts the water flow to the point that I only get about a 15% flow of water through it. I bought two of them and swapped them and still had the same problem. Left it like that for a few weeks and then the water pump started making bad noises like it was straining. I then swapped it back with the old filter and now I get normal water flow and the water pump is happy again. I also see that others have had similar problems with replacing the UKF 8001 filter with this product. Its a shame because it does fit, it seems very good quality and even has some petroleum jelly to help with giving a good tight seal, but it is just not a replacement for this maytag product. I'm attempting to return. I do not expect a problem with that, but will update if I do.
