Our verdict

A genuine refill set for Aquasana Claryum Max Flow owners who want broad certified contaminant reduction, including lead and PFAS. TDS passes through, so it does not demineralize water.

Overview

Aquasana makes this set of replacement cartridges for its Claryum three-stage Max Flow under-sink systems. A pre-filter catches rust, sediment and silt, then two Claryum filters combine carbon, ion exchange and sub-micron filtration, and each cartridge twists out of its housing without disconnecting lines.

Certified reduction across a long contaminant list, from chlorine and chloramines to PFAS and microplastics, is the reason to stay with genuine cartridges. Swaps need no plumber. The set fits only the listed Aquasana systems and does not lower TDS.

Who it's for

Households already running the listed Aquasana under-sink system get matched cartridges with certified lead, PFAS and cyst reduction. Owners of other brands' housings cannot use them.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Certified for lead, PFAS and microplastics
  • Retains calcium, potassium and magnesium
  • Twist-off swap, no plumber needed
  • Pre-filter traps rust, sediment and silt
Cons
  • Does not reduce TDS
  • Fits only listed Aquasana systems
  • Gallon cap can end life before six months
  • Narrow listed water temperature range

Performance notes

Water passes the sediment pre-filter first, which protects the two Claryum stages from clogging with rust and silt. The Claryum media then uses carbon, ion exchange and sub-micron filtration to capture chemicals and particles while minerals pass through. Supply pressure within the listed range governs flow at the faucet.
