Aquasana 3-Stage Under Sink Water Filter System - Kitchen Counter Claryum Filtration - 99% Chlorine Removal - Chrome Faucet AQ-5300.56 Review

Having used several under sink water filter systems in the past (6) to date, I got little knack for installing these things.I had two that leaked a lot and water damage is not fun. I read the reviews on the 3 stage Aquasana and then called the company to get more infor and also ask about parts. They were more than willing to help me with my install, which was going to be totally different than all my other systems.I wanted to drop down under the kitchen sink to my dry basement with a drain, and

"I really liked this system (purchased May, 2016) until the plastic housing broke without warning while under pressure and flooded the house. So nice filtered pristine water still ruins things just like unfiltered city water.Clearly a mfr defect in the plastic. It appears sturdy but It broke right around the bottom edge and down the middle where the injection molding nipple is. After this happened, I noticed other reviews of failures exactly like mine. Plastic filter housing breaks without…

1. Could use longer tubing. I had to buy 2 rolls of tubing to mount properly under the sink.2. Could user a better T-valve. I bought a valve with a switch so I could just turn off the filters and not the whole sink.3. Does take the odor out of the water4. Does not take all the ions out of the water so if your water has high PPM it will still be high5. Takes out a lot of contaminants but fluoride is not one of them.6. Better than the brita pitcher filter we were using before.

I don't know why we waited so long to get an under the sink filter. Took me under an hour to hook it up. Super simple directions. The first picture is after install. Fits perfectly where the soap dispenser used to be. Video shows the water flow. I am very pleased with the flow rate. And the taste - unbelievable! Better than the Brita pitcher we've used for years. The unit itself is nit very big. The third and fourth pics show it in the cabinet under my standard size sink. Yes, I have a ton of…

Original review left unchanged, written at the time of purchase: Filters are compact and easy to change. But you have to keep record of when you change it because it doesn't tell you when its done. Also, it would be nice if the faucet could have the handle go the other way (mine is awkward where it ended up on the sink). But I love that it's not an RO system which wastes so much water.Revised after 6months and first filter change: first of all, it did have a filter change alarm which I never…

I asked seller two question. these are questions with answers.Question 1. Can you explain/compare the differences between claryum direct connect vs 3-stage under sink vs 3-stage max flow claryum vs brittaAnswer 1. This question has nothing to do with Aquasana. it asks about claryum.Question 2.What the difference between product that you sell on amazon! namely product aq-5300+.56, aq-5300.56, aq-mf-1 and also how it is compared to britta.Answer 2. Never owned a Britta. The aq-5300+ is…

This is a nice under the sink filter system that is easy to install (I did it myself, in about 15-20 mins). The faucet looks nice on the top of sink and keeps things looking nice. The water comes out at an okay speed, not really fast but not too slow. I would prefer a little faster but not slow enough to say forget it and get a new system. We have been using it since 2014 and have been happy with it.The filters are easy to change and last me about 7-9 months with 2 people and 2 dogs that drink…

The system overall did a decent job of giving us good tasting drinking water however it did a better job of turning our kitchen into a foot soaking pool. Yesterday (10/6/22) one of the three cartridge holders simply expanded and failed, spraying continuously under the sink (see photo). I did nothing wrong the plastic just failed. When I called Aquasana I was told this happens and that I could purchase new improved cartridge holders. Purchase replacements for their defective product after…

I just installed this because I live in Mexico. I have only used it a week or so and seems to be working well. However when I used it for a couple pots of coffee I did notice some belly issues. Nothing bad but noticeable. I have decided to just slowly add more filtered water to my every day so I can get used to it. I do give it to my animals and definitely boil with it. If not using in Mexico it's pretty awesome. Great value to. I installed myself. Just don't forget the little inserts that go…

We just love this filter system. We purchased it to replace a failed reverse osmosis tank that we had for years. At the recommendation of our plumber we chose to go with a filter, this one has three stages, over the RO since it's cost effective and saves water (no waste!) first, Much like the others mention, the water tasted slightly sweet at first. Over time that went away and now I wonder why I ever had a reverse osmosis tank at all. What a waste of money! We love the water taste and that we…

We have had this water filter since 2013 (now its 2021) and love it. The water tastes great and the filter removes lead which is not common without going all out reverse osmosis. I don't like RO for filtered water though because of all the water waste, the number of filters to replace, the expense, and having to re-add minerals after filtration.My only complaint is that the water flow is much less than advertised due to the low water volume (aka pressure) here in Chicago. However, just this…

I like this filter. Not too difficult to install. Filters are easy to install. After 3 months the flow became much slower. Replacing the filters fixed it.

Like many others have written.Great filtration, but beware that filter replacement will yield leaks - on all 3 filters? I wonder if the O-Rings need to be replaced a swell.

This filter was extremely easy to install and works well. I like that you can turn the faucet on and it stays on. Taste of the water is great.
