Product review (2 stars): An experiment that failed...
This 3rd-party knockoff is compatible, yes, but it does NOT work as well as the original, at least not on San Jose water, which has a distinct chemical taste and occasionally detectable odor. The unit does work to some degree but the result is not as sweet as that produced by the the real thing. We put several gallons through this unit and are giving up; I've been instructed to dump all the ice cubes once again and get the real thing. This one will go in the trash as soon as the new Maytag unit arrives.
