Aquasana - Claryum® 3-Stage Max Flow 800-gal. Filter Capacity Under Sink Water Filter with Dedicated Faucet - Brushed Nickel

We had the filter installed by a professional. The pressure was bad. The internet is full of advice on how to put a shim in this product to improve it. Perhaps just creating a good product could avoid all that.

This unit was very easy to install and it can be done in under an hour. You need to make sure that you follow directions when it comes to setting the press fit lines into the unit, they need to press all the way into hard stop. My only criticism of this product is that the line supplied in the kit that is intended to go from you cold water in to the in of the water filter unit needs to be at least a foot longer. I don't know how these manufacturers come up with average length needed, but it needs to be longer. Water tastes good so far, I am noticing that the water temp is a bit warmer than the actual sink tap cold water though.

This is the fourth Aquasana filter I have purchased and installed. I put one in every house I own, and recommend it to all my friends and family. It is easy to install, takes up very little space, and provides peace of mind regarding water purity for drinking and cooking. The faucet is attractive, too.

We have used Aquasana countertop filters for some time, so I am comfortable with the degree of filtration. Also, we are now spoiled by the taste, and don't want to go back to the (overall quite good) tap water. But the outflow was slow, and the attachment mechanism ugly and inconvenient (though we were used to it). The Claryum max flow system looks much nicer, as it connects to a dedicated faucet for drinking water. It also comes out quite fast, which adds to the convenience. We did not have much room under our sink, but I measured beforehand and it did (barely) fit. The installation instructions were ok, but Aquasana also has videos on youtube to help with installation that made it much more accessible. I'm not the most handy person, but I was able to install it without any issues. These filters are basically made of cheap plastic, so the quality isn't amazing (we've had two countertop units break). But it works well and isn't overly expensive, so we are comfortable with Aquasana products.

The water is crystal clear and the kit was easy to install, but the water comes out painfully slow from the included faucet, very slow flow. Our water pressure at home is fine and no issues with slow water from other sources. Our previous purification system (Similar to this one but different brand) didn't have this issue.
