Aquasana's under sink system recognized in Good Housekeeping's 2023 Best Kitchen Gear, Coffee & Tea Awards
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Aquasana, a leading maker of high-performance water filters for the home, announced today that the Claryum® Direct Connect under sink water filtration system was named a winner in Good Housekeeping's 2023 Best Kitchen Gear, Coffee & Tea Awards. Designed for easy, DIY installation and maximum contaminant reduction, the fast-flowing Claryum® Direct Connect filter was awarded in the Hydration Station category. The full list of awards can be found at goodhousekeeping.com/kitchengearawards2023.
"We're incredibly honored that our Claryum Direct Connect under sink filter has been named a Good Housekeeping 2023 Best Kitchen Gear, Coffee & Tea Award winner," said Derek Mellencamp, general manager at Aquasana. "This feels especially relevant and timely as we know that concerns about drinking water quality are at an all-time high and the vast majority of Americans are now using a water filter at home." According to Aquasana's recent fifth annual Water Quality Survey, concern over drinking water quality in the U.S. has more than doubled over the past two years, with seven in 10 Americans expressing worry about the quality of their drinking water at home, and nine in 10 Americans (91%) filtering their home's drinking water.
Available nationwide for as low as $124.99 at Aquasana.com, Aquasana Claryum® Direct Connect is an DIY-friendly under sink water filtration system that is being recognized for its easy installation and high-performance filtration. Ideal for homeowners and renters, the direct connect filter is simple enough for most anyone to install but still filters 78 contaminants, including lead, "forever chemicals" PFOA and PFOS, microplastics, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, asbestos, chloramines, chlorine and more – that's 15 times more contaminants than the leading pitcher filters. A significantly more economical and environmentally sustainable alternative to bottled water, the Claryum® Direct Connect filter's long-lasting replaceable cartridges ($70) last for six months or 784 gallons – the equivalent of 6,250+ plastic 16-ounce bottles.
Unlike most under sink systems, there's no need to install a second faucet for filtered water, solving the dilemma of having to either sacrifice the sink's built-in soap dispenser or drill a second hole in the countertop. Simply connect the streamlined filter to any cold-water line – whether in the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, dorm room, or wet bar – for faster access to clean, healthy drinking water that flows through the existing faucet, no plumber required. The Claryum® Direct Connect is also compact with all filtration taking place in one filter, making it ideal for saving under sink cabinet space in an RV or smaller kitchen; it is highly effective while using a smaller footprint.
"At Aquasana, we're committed to improving the health and wellbeing of U.S. households with cleaner, healthier and better tasting drinking water," added Mellencamp. "Claryum Direct Connect was designed specifically to provide easier access to better quality drinking water, and receiving this award is incredible validation."
Aquasana's Claryum® filtration technology is IAPMO tested and certified to NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53 (includes P473), and 401 for the reduction of more than 96% of chlorine and chloramines, 99% of lead, and 95% of PFOA/PFOS. It is also certified to reduce mercury, chlorine-resistant cysts, herbicides, pesticides, VOCs, pharmaceuticals, and more.
