Aquasana Water Filter for Sink Faucet Reduces 99 of 78 Contaminants Including Chlorine Lead from Tap Water Under

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. Update: wanted to say that the 7 months that it was left in, the water flowed well and tasted good consistently. When the flow started to get noticeably slower, I was surprised at how easy it was to just change out the filter with no leaks. I did my best to shake the retained water out before disposing since it was kind of heavy. Don't forget to let it run for ~15 minutes after installing. 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

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.

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

I’ve been using this filter for about 2 months, and it works as it should. My immediate concern was the chlorine odor and taste in my tap water and it cleared it up completely. The installation would have been simple if I was doing a standard installation but mine was a little more complicated because instead of connecting it to my existing faucet I connected it up to a separate faucet that I installed several years ago that I was using with another brand filter that I removed from service. This required some additional parts but it all worked out. Water flow is excellent – much better than it was with my old filter. My only complaint is that the tubing supplied with this kit was so tightly coiled up that it was unusable. I couldn’t straighten it out, and I was concerned that connecting it under tension would have put excess side strain on the push-to-connect fittings which might have caused leaks. The tubing from my old installation was the same size and type so I used that instead. Overall I’m very happy with it. Read more
