Aquasana Under Sink Water Filter Replacement - Claryum Direct Connect Under Counter Filtration System - AQ-MF-1-R

Purchased due to PFAS readings from our municipal water supply. The certifications were important to me and I didn't trust filters that supposedly last years. 6 months seems right, and while it's a new household expense, it seems worth it after installation. The parts & instructions were well made & written. Based on another helpful review, I purchased 3 inexpensive extra parts that eliminated the white piece that connects directly to the water supply line since it seemed to improve durability and ensure good flow. I hope they might upgrade their parts package to do this for future customers. The filter is long, and the best way to install under my sink was horizontal, which made it harder to reach the furthest screws, but not impossible, and now replacement is that much easier. Upon first test, heard the water try and make its way through but there was almost no flow. Long story short, something made its way to the faucet head, which once I cleaned it out, the flow seemed almost (90% or more) like pre-install. (Sigh of relief). I also had to reseat the connectors to the filter head housing to ensure no leaking. I put a small container underneath just to be sure, but it's been dry since day one. Water tastes very good, and it feels good to have done the best we can to improve the quality / health of our drinking water. Read more

Filter is working great. Relatively easy to install... Make sure to measure your under sink space before ordering. The unit is quite large but it can be mounted in a variety of ways. The connections are relatively easy although be sure to read the directions carefully. You'll need to press the flexible tubing in with some force to be sure it gets in as expected. If you follow the directions carefully you'll have no problems. Read more

Our kitchen sink water tested positive for Lead. After installing Aquasana Filter the test was negative. First filter lasted about 5 months before we saw some drop in water pressure. I installed a new filter and the pressure returned to it's normal flow. You will have some reduction in flow but well worth the installation to remove Lead and other contaminants. Read more

Installing this under-sink filter made a noticeable difference in how my tap water tastes and smells. Chlorine is basically gone, and the water has a clean, crisp taste that makes it more enjoyable to drink straight from the tap instead of relying on separate pitchers or bottled water. I also like knowing it handles more than just basic chlorine—things like lead and other contaminants—without needing a bulky multi-stage setup cluttering the cabinet. Setup was pretty straightforward for an under-sink system. The direct-connect design is convenient: you hook it into the cold-water line and it feeds the existing faucet instead of adding another separate spout. Once installed, water flow stayed strong enough for everyday use—filling pots, rinsing dishes, and cooking doesn’t feel painfully slow the way some filters do. The cartridge is simple to swap out when it’s time, and the footprint under the sink is compact enough that it doesn’t hog storage space. If there’s a trade-off, it’s that you do still feel some slight reduction in flow compared to totally unfiltered tap, and you have to remember to replace the cartridge on schedule to keep performance up. But for the improvement in taste and the extra peace of mind about what’s coming out of the faucet, it’s very reasonable. Overall, it’s a solid upgrade that makes everyday drinking and cooking water feel noticeably cleaner without turning the plumbing into a science project. Read more

Easy to install, seems to perform well. Water is clear no odor. Read more

This product was a complete fail for us and I don’t recommend it. I installed it under our kitchen sink on 15 Sept. and the flow started slowing after only two weeks. I just disconnected it today (6 Oct.) because the water stopped flowing completely. We are a family of four and didn’t use the kitchen for anything unusual like washing clothes. Just drinking, cooking and washing dishes that don’t go in the dishwasher. We have a split valve so the dishwasher doesn’t pull through the filter. This filter was advertised to last six months. I’m not going to buy a $90 replacement filter every 3-4 weeks! Buyer beware!!! Read more

You can do this it’s not hard to install. Just dry fit everything make sure you’re not over tightening the plastic. Read more

We have very hard water that tastes like chlorine, and our fridge filter doesn’t help much, but THIS is amazing. We hooked it up to our cold water line in our kitchen sink and it’s a life saver. No icky taste, and we no longer have to buy jugs of water. We are on our second filter and loving it! Such a budget friendly alternative to a reverse osmosis system, and definitely space saving.
