A Pre-Filter and 100 Extra Gallons
Expert Score

The 3-Stage adds sediment pre-filtration and 20% more capacity over the 2-Stage for $100. On water with visible sediment or rust that is a fair trade, since the pre-filter is what stops the expensive Claryum cartridges clogging early. On clean city water it is $100 for 100 gallons, and the 2-Stage is the better buy.

PROS

CONS
  • $100 more than the 2-Stage for 100 extra gallons and a pre-filter
  • Contaminant reduction figures are identical to the cheaper 2-Stage
  • 0.5 GPM rated flow, unchanged from the 2-Stage
  • Three cartridges to replace instead of two
  • 1-year limited warranty
  • Taller cabinet footprint at 12 inches wide

The Claryum 3-Stage is the 2-Stage with a 5 micron sediment pre-filter added ahead of the two Claryum cartridges. The pre-filter captures rust, sediment and silt before they reach the carbon, which is what buys the extra capacity.

Certified performance is identical to the 2-Stage: WQA tested and certified to NSF/ANSI 42, 53 including P473, and 401, for 99.995% of cysts, 99.6% of microplastics and lead, 99.7% of PFOA and PFOS, 97.3% of chlorine and 91% of chloramines.

Capacity rises from 500 gallons to 600, a 20% gain, while rated flow stays at 0.5 GPM. If your water carries visible sediment the pre-filter earns its keep; on clean municipal supply the 2-Stage does the same job for $100 less.

Amazon lists each Claryum system separately rather than pooling them the way it does the Rhino family, so the figure below is product-level but the review counts are small. Aquasana's own on-page rating is not used: it shows 5.0 on two of the four under sink systems. Reddit, YouTube and retailer pools were not verified for this line and are left blank rather than estimated.

Google Score7.0

Product-line. Independent testing is unusually good here. Consumer Reports scored the Claryum 2-Stage 78 in its under-sink lab program, ahead of the Brondell Coral UC300 at 72, Kraus FS-1000 at 69 and Aqua-Pure AP-DWS1000 at 63. The Spruce named it best overall after hands-on testing, praising taste and footprint while flagging initial leaks and a spout that does not feel secure.
