Claryum Without the Plumbing, at a Price
Expert Score

This is the answer for renters and anyone who will not drill a sink, and the powered dispensing genuinely solves the thing people hate about pitcher filters. What it costs is $399.99 for 300 gallons per filter — the worst capacity in the range against the $249.99 Direct Connect's 784 — plus counter space and a power outlet. If you can plumb anything at all, the under sink systems are better value; if you cannot, this is the only Claryum option that works.

PROS
  • No installation, no plumbing and no drilling — fill, plug in, press
  • Powered filtration dispenses in seconds rather than trickling like a pitcher
  • Claryum reduction of 97% chlorine, 99% lead and microplastics, 99.99% cysts
  • Quick Press dispenses 64 ounces without holding the button
  • Portable at 6.2 lb, so it moves to the garage, an RV or outdoors
  • Only Aquasana system that works with no permanent fixture
CONS
  • $399.99 is more than the Claryum 3-Stage under sink system
  • 300 gallons per filter, the shortest capacity Aquasana sells
  • Needs a mains outlet and permanent counter space
  • Tank has to be refilled by hand rather than plumbed
  • 1-year limited warranty
  • Aquasana's own page rates it 3.6, the lowest self-reported score in the range

The Clean Water Machine is Aquasana's only countertop system and the only product in the range that needs no plumbing at all. It is a powered dispenser: fill the tank, plug it in, press the button. A pump pushes water through the Claryum cartridge rather than letting gravity trickle it through, which is why it fills a glass in seconds where a pitcher takes minutes.

Claryum filtration here is the same technology as the under sink line, tested and certified to reduce up to 97% of chlorine, 99% of lead, asbestos and microplastics, 99.99% of cysts and 95% of PFOA and PFOS, along with chloramines, mercury, herbicides, pesticides, VOCs and pharmaceuticals.

Capacity is 300 gallons or about six months on a single filter, the shortest in the Aquasana range. The unit weighs 6.2 lb, needs a power outlet, and has a Quick Press function that dispenses 64 ounces without holding the button.
