Overview
Under the kitchen sink, this genuine A. O. Smith cartridge replaces the spent filter in the Advanced Direct Connect system that feeds the main faucet. Claryum activated carbon media reduces lead, mercury, chlorine, microplastics and more, and changes need no plumber.
Genuine fit and certified performance at the main faucet are the reasons to buy it. Coverage spans heavy metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals and microplastics. Flow rate and TDS behavior are not described, and it works only with its own system.
Who it's for
Kitchens already plumbed with the A. O. Smith main faucet system get a direct swap that holds certified performance. Owners of reverse osmosis units or other housings need a different cartridge.
Pros and cons
- Genuine fit for its system
- Certified to three NSF/ANSI standards
- Reduces lead, mercury and microplastics
- No plumber needed to replace
- Fits only the AO-MF-ADV system
- Flow rate not listed
- Single cartridge per pack
- Tall cartridge needs cabinet height
Performance notes
Activated carbon in the Claryum media captures chemicals such as chlorine and pesticides while trapping fine particles like asbestos and microplastics. Performance holds while the media has capacity left, so changing on schedule matters. Only water routed to the main faucet is filtered.
