Claryum® 3-Stage Undersink

Aquasana AQ-5300 3 stage filter is suitable to use with municipal water (tap water).
The water in Bangkok municipality is safe as the treatment facilities from which the water
comes from has a World Health Organization benchmark for its quality and is carefully
monitored. Water quality standards of MWA follow the Guidelines for Drinking-Water Quality
of WHO (WHO, 2006).
Water Quality Standard

Water quality standard of Nampapa Lao. The standard of water produced by the factory
is guaranteed and valid according to the authorization of the Department of Food and
Drug and Mineral Industries according to WHO standards. In addition, our research
laboratories have been monitored and reviewed in four main urban centers such as
Mao Water Plumbing Plant, Water Treatment Plant, Cao Bang Khai Water Treatment
Plant, Dong Kong Waterworks Factory, which is 98 points according to the Safe Water
Plan.

Depending on your existing skills and experience, you can follow the instructions and installation video.
We recommend hiring a professional to install your filter. Installation does require drilling into your pipes
which is not recommended for individuals unfamiliar with plumbing and permanent appliance
installation. Please read through the owner’s manual carefully before attempting to install the system
and watch our video.

We recommend replacing the cartridges after six months or the specified gallon capacity to
prevent the growth of bacteria in the system.
The AQ-5300 Three-Stage has a capacity of 2,270 Liters. The replacement cartridge is
3,720.00 THB

No, and actually, purified water is not as healthy as filtered water. Purified water undergoes
reverse osmosis or distillation, which strip everything out of your water – not only the
contaminants, but also the healthy, natural minerals. Our system uses selective filtration
designed to reduce contaminants from the water and leave in the natural healthy minerals
like calcium, potassium, and magnesium.

Although AQ-5300 is NSF Certified, the NSF independent certification standard does not yet
offer a standard for microplastics filtration.
Municipal water treatment plants cannot remove all microplastics entirely. Most micro
plastics are 2.5 microns in size.
The good news is that the AQ-5300 is equipped with two Claryum® carbon blocks that
extrude down to 0.5 microns. This method is known as mechanical filtration and we use it
specifically to remove suspended particles. We are not tested and certified for the
microplastics removal but since our system is equipped with sub-micron technology, you
can feel comfortable that we are reducing the microplastics significantly.

We have designed this system to minimize the environmental impact of our replacement
elements, which are over 95% biodegradable carbon. Aquasana USA can recycle the filters
for you, but we do not cover the shipping cost to return the filters back to them. In reality,
the environmental impact of shipping the filters back to them outweighs the good of
recycling. To recycle the drinking filters yourself, remove the ends of the filters, recycle the
plastic parts (which are appropriately numbered) and put the carbon either in your compost
pile or garden (carbon is good for plant life), or just throw it out (since the carbon degrades
quickly, and is a positive component in a landfill).

To install an under counter system, you can remove the existing sprayer or soap dispenser
on your sink and install our faucet in its place. This option will not damage or permanently
modify your plumbing. When you move out, you can easily remove the system and
reconnect your plumbing back to normal. If you do not have an existing hole in your sink
from a sprayer or soap dispenser, we also have a countertop drinking water filter that
conveniently screws on to most kitchen faucets or the Clean Water Machine Dispenser.

The most common size is 3/8″ which originally comes with the system purchase. In rare
cases some customers may need a 1/2″ T-fitting.

The faucet that is included with our systems requires a 1/2″ hole.

TDS is the acronym for Total Dissolved Solids, the amount of dissolved minerals and metals
present in water. TDS meters tell you the concentration of dissolved minerals and metals,
but are not an accurate measurement for contamination. Aquasana products reduce and
remove harmful TDS like lead, but selectively retain or replace healthy dissolved solids like
calcium, magnesium, and potassium.

BPA stands for Bisphenol-A, a contaminant found in most plastics. BPA can adversely affect
your health if consumed at high levels. Aquasana drinking systems do not contain BPA, and
our filtration process reduces existing BPA.

Hard water is more of a nuisance than a health risk, and is not necessarily contaminated.
Hard water is generally safe to drink, after it has been properly treated.

Having soft water just means you have a lower concentration of dissolved minerals in the
water (primarily calcium and magnesium). Soft water does not mean clean water. Your
water can be soft and still contain contaminants.

Selective filtration is the process of sub-micron filtration, micron filtration, adsorption and
ion exchange, all of which selectively reduces chemicals, heavy particulates and most
dangerous heavy metals from the water while maintaining healthy minerals like calcium,
magnesium and potassium.

All of our drinking water systems use the same Aquasana Claryum® filtration technology.
The 3-Stage system includes a 20-micron pre-filter before the two Aquasana Claryum®
filters. This pre-filter increases the capacity of the system from 1,890 Liters to 2,270 Liters.
In addition, it improves flow rate in high sediment areas (Most suitable when having older
piping).

We recommend that you use the faucet provided. We have extensively tested the system
with the faucets included. The faucets are NSF Certified to have no lead content. In addition,
they will not impart any unwanted chemicals into your water. If you choose to use another
faucet, we recommend that you have a plumber install the system to ensure no leakage
occurs. We also recommend that you install an NSF Certified faucet to ensure the health
benefits of your new Aquasana water filter.
