Claryum® Countertop

Aquasana AQ-4000 COUNTER TOP 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

Laos – 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. Nampapa Nakhone Luang

Although AQ-4000 is NSF Certified, the NSF independent certification standard does not yet
offer a standard for microplastics filtration.
Municipal water treatment plants cannot remove all entirely. Most micro plastics are 2.5
microns in size.
The good news is the AQ-4000 is equipped with two, Claryum® carbon blocks and they are
extruded 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.

AQ-4000 Counter Top Filter has been the most compatible drinking water filtration system
with the widest range of customers profile so far. The one and only requirement is good
water pressure from the faucet on which you want to install the filter.

Very easy to install, it only takes a few minutes to do. No plumber required. Just follow the
instructions and installation video

We recommend replacing the cartridges after six months or 1,700 Liters, whichever comes
first.

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.

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 AQ-4035 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).

The countertop system is perfect for renters because it does not require a new hole in the
counter. 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.

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.
Most water sources in the USA are considered hard. 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.t

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.

The only faucets the AQ-4000 water filtration system will not be compatible with are the 2-
in-1 faucets that have a detachable sprayer at the faucet opening. The AQ-4000 will fit most
standard faucets and also comes with two adapters. If your faucet happens to be a nonstandard size than the hose connection or adapters that come with unit, you can take your
aerator to the plumbing section at your local hardware store and have it measured. After
you know the size of your aerator, they will be able to help you find an adaptor suitable for
your needs.
