## Description

Claryum Direct Connect is the easy to install, fast-flowing Aquasana water filter that connects directly to your existing tap for instant access to clean, healthy water for 784 litres or up to 6 months. Aquasana Claryum filtration technology is IAPMO certified to NSF/ANSI standards 42, 53 and 401, reducing over 97% chlorine and chloramines, 99% microplastics and lead and 96% PFOA/PFOS. It is also certified to reduce mercury, chlorine resistant cysts, herbicides, pesticides, VOCs, pharmaceuticals and more. In all, it copes with 15 times more contaminants than the main launch filter. Claryum's selective filtration technology retains naturally occurring beneficial minerals found in water such as calcium, potassium and magnesium for healthier and more delicious water. A large and powerful filter combines activated and catalytic carbon with ion exchange and sub-micron filtration, so the water is carefully filtered to reduce 78 contaminants while maintaining beneficial minerals. One filter replaces more than 6,250 plastic water bottles. Get instant access to filtered water from any existing tap - no dedicated tap is needed. Claryum Direct Connect attaches to the cold water line to filter water for drinking, washing vegetables, watering plants and more. With easy installation, this is the perfect filter for DIY.

Review: 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.
Review: What a waste of time and money! I bought a new filter because I thought the previous owners of the house were using it for a long time and the filter was clogged. To my surprise, the new filter was better, but the cold water flow was 10 times less than the hot line. And after less than 3 months, the flow is ridiculous! We can use tempered water because the hot water pressure wins, and I ended up removing the system.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What nsf certifications does this have exactly? i do not see listed on nsf site for having 401 or 473. aquasana response only please.**
A: The AQ-MF-1 is independently tested and certified to NSF standards by IAPMO. You can find the certificates on the IAPMO Product Listing website under file numbers: WP-10706 for NSF 42, WP-10707 for NSF 53 which now includes PFOA/PFOS, WP-11684 for NSF P473-2016, and WP-12506 for NSF/ANSI 401-2017a.

**Q: I can use this and skip the extra faucet? Enough filtered water to get through hand washing, dishwashing etc?**
A: If you mean you want to connect the cold water line of your kitchen faucet to this filter, then Yes. However, the filter is going to severely reduce the flow of cold water. You're going to find that extremely annoying.

Additionally, having so much water filtered (not just for drinking but also for your handwashing, food washing, dishwashing) means your filter is going to get clogged sooner. You're going to have to buy/replace this filter several times a year instead of just twice a year.

**Q: Will this filter remove trihalomethane?**
A: Yes. The performance data sheet indicates that this filter removes 95% of four substances listed as trihalomethanes (THMs) - bromodichloromethane, bromoform, chloroform, and chlorodibromomethane.

**Q: I want convert it to flow in its own dedicated spout and I have low water pressure in a rural county, would you recommend this?**
A: It would be perfectly fine.
