To date, only 180 galaxies are detected with H2 O maser emission in more than 5 000 targeted galax ies. Active galactic nucleus ( AGN) are believed the energy source that stimulate the H2 O maser emission. So, the infrared emission from the AGN may be connected with the maser production. In this paper, the middle in frared ( MIR) luminosity and spectral indices of the sample are calculated by using the Spitzer photometric data( 3 6 μm? 45 μm? 5 8 μm? 80 μm and 240 μm) . Through statistic and comparative analysis on the MIR luminosity at each band, spectral indices and the spectral energy distribution for H2 O masers and nonH2 O maser sample ( without detected H2 O maser emission) , the results show: ① H2 O masers tend to have higher MIR luminosity than nonH2 O masers, especially at 240 μm band. ② There are no significant difference in spectralindices and spectral energy distribution between H2 O masers and nonH2 O masers. ③ The masers emission is not correlated with the MIR emission of its host galaxy. These results should provide possible constraints on the sample selection for the future water maser surveys.
