Introducing the SmartFlow™ Reverse Osmosis, Aquasana's brand-new, high-efficiency reverse osmosis system that provides you with optimum health and hydration. This RO system combines Aquasana's Claryum® filtration technology with reverse osmosis technology to remove up to 99.99% of 90 contaminants, including fluoride, arsenic, lead, chlorine, microplastics, PFOA/PFOS, and more.
The SmartFlow™ Reverse Osmosis boasts one of the highest certified contaminant removal rates of all reverse osmosis systems on the market. In fact, it’s certified to reduce 89 more contaminants than Amazon’s top-selling RO system is certified to reduce.*
Featuring our patented SmartFlow™ technology, this system provides you with more pure water, less water waste, and longer filter life than the average RO filter. The SmartFlow™ Reverse Osmosis water filter boasts a 57% greater efficiency percentage and a 93% higher daily production rate than our previous reverse osmosis system.
The SmartFlow™ Reverse Osmosis is tested and certified by WQA to NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53 (includes P473), 58, 401, and CSA B483.1 to effectively reduce 90 contaminants, including 90% of fluoride. It’s also certified to reduce 99.99% of cysts, 99.9% of asbestos, 99% of lead, VOCs, and microplastics, and 96% of chlorine, chloramines, arsenic, pesticides, and herbicides - all while restoring healthy minerals that other reverse osmosis systems remove, providing you with optimum health and hydration.
The SmartFlow™ Reverse Osmosis features a multi-stage filtration process to ensure maximum contaminant removal.
Stage 1: Carbon Block: Reduces chlorine, taste, and odor prior to reverse osmosis filtration.
Stage 2: SmartFlow™ Membrane: Ultra-efficient, patented SmartFlow™ membrane technology reduces fluoride, nitrates, nitrites, arsenic, PFOA/PFOS, and more.
Stage 3: Advanced Carbon Block: Claryum® filter block ensures maximum contaminant removal. Activated and catalytic carbon filtration combines with Ion-exchange and sub-micron filtration to tackle lead, microplastics, VOCs, mercury, and more.
Stage 4: Remineralizer: Remineralizes water to add back healthy, beneficial amounts of minerals that are lost in the reverse osmosis process. Improves pH balance and water alkalinity.
With the combined power of reverse osmosis, Claryum® filtration, and remineralization you have immediate access to clean, healthy water for drinking, cooking, washing your vegetables, and more.
The SmartFlow™ has been designed to provide ultra-powerful filtration in a more compact design. A smaller tank size and smartly-designed chassis means this system takes up less under sink space than the leading reverse osmosis unit.
Our genuine and certified reverse osmosis filter replacements are engineered for the easiest replacement. No need to disconnect hoses or water lines - simply twist out and replace. The SmartFlow™ Reverse Osmosis Carbon and Claryum® Filter Replacements will last for 365 gallons or up to 6 months. The Remineralizer Replacement will last for 6 months, as well. Our SmartFlow™ Reverse Osmosis Membrane Replacement will last for 12 months.
The available all-metal dedicated faucet comes in four finishes - Brushed Nickel, Chrome, Matte Black, and Oil Rubbed Bronze - so you can match your kitchen décor. We also offer a “No Faucet” option so you can use your own air gap faucet.
Aquasana’s SmartFlow™ Reverse Osmosis features a reliable 0.8 gallons per minute (gpm) flow rate to deliver clean, healthy water.

Just bought one of these was highly recommended

[@smartwalletandme9624]

I had a leak on the drain clamp. Plumber couldn’t stop the small leak.

[@elmerdelcid5880]

Hello. I would like to ask how many gallons of waist water are produced per every clean gallon of water.

[@aquasana]

Good Morning! The SmartFlow RO System drains 2.7 gallons of waste water per gallon of filtrated water. We hope this helps!

My countertop width is 2”, and this installation doesn’t fit my countertop. What should I do in that case?
I read the manual and it isn’t clear there either.

[@aquasana]

Good morning! We are sorry to hear that. You can try taking off the elongated plastic component before installation. The max countertop width for the faucet is 1/2". If you have a countertop width greater than that (1/2"-2"), you will need to
remove the white plastic piece from the faucet
prior to installing. If you remove the piece, ensure you reassemble the parts you removed before continuing. We hope this helps!

[@RockyKarthik]

@@aquasana this doesn’t help. Even after removing the white plastic piece I still am unable to install the faucet. This is a poor design. I’m returning the item back to the store. Utterly disappointed by Aquasana.

[@maryt9997]

What about installing the faucet???

[@aquasana]

Hi there! If you scroll over to 1 minute and 11 seconds in, we show how to install the faucet as well. Hope that helps!

Hello, I would like to ask which bleach I use. Thank you.

[@aquasana]

Hi there! We cannot recommend any type of brand of bleach to use, but any kind is ok. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

DANGER DANGER! At 4:20 is shows to connect the blue line under the mineralization filter. IT DOES NOT SHOW THERE IS A VERY SMALL 1/4" BARB THAT YOU MUST PUT INTO THE FILTER FIRST! Otherwise the blue line will pop free about an hour into pressure buildup.
Don't ask how I know.

I had the same issue water got everywhere. How is there no fitting on it

Instead of the standard goofball customer service response, how about somebody actually looks into this at aquasana and lets us know here in the comments 🤔
