It Does Not Remove Flouride. Amana/Maytag recommends that you replace the filter when the filter change indicator comes on (if your refrigerator doesn't have an indicator the filter should be changed every six months) OR if the refrigerator has not been used for more than two weeks (for instance, during a move) OR if you notice a decrease in the flow of water or objectionable tastes in the water or ice.
