Usability
The Rhino's strength is longevity and cost per gallon: 1,000,000 gallons or ten years on a single tank change, with only pre- and post-filters to buy in between. The weakness is certification breadth. Aquasana markets a 78-contaminant Claryum list, but the independent NSF/ANSI 42 testing covers chlorine, and the tank's NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 certification is a materials-safety standard rather than a contaminant-reduction one. Buy it for chlorine, taste and odour on municipal water, not for lead or PFAS.
- Tested to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for up to 97% chlorine reduction
- 1,000,000 gallon or 10-year capacity, the longest interval in its price class
- Tank WQA certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 61 for materials safety
- No electricity, drain line or back flushing required
- 10-year limited warranty and 90-day satisfaction guarantee
- Install kit included for 3/4 inch or 1 inch main lines
- Independent certification covers chlorine; the wider 78-contaminant list is not separately certified
- Rated 7.0 GPM suits up to 2.5 bathrooms only, larger homes need the Max Flow
- Pre-filter needs replacing roughly every 2 months, post-filter every 6
- Main-line installation, so a licensed plumber is a realistic added cost
- Does not soften water or treat bacteria without paid add-ons
- Salt-free conditioner and UV add $1,548 and $1,598 respectively
The Aquasana Rhino is a point-of-entry whole house filter built around an upflow, dual-tank design. The bottom tank holds activated carbon for chlorine reduction and the top tank holds copper-zinc KDF media, which both aids chlorine reduction and inhibits bacteria and algae growth inside the system.
It is independently tested to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 to reduce up to 97% of chlorine for 1,000,000 gallons or up to 10 years, and the tank itself is WQA certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 61 for materials safety and structural integrity. Rated flow is 7.0 GPM with a 14.6 GPM peak, which Aquasana sizes for homes with up to 2.5 bathrooms and four or fewer occupants.
The system requires no electricity, no drain line and no back flushing. A 20-inch pre-filter and a post-filter handle sediment on either side of the tanks and are the only routine consumables. Aquasana sells the salt-free water conditioner, UV filter, pro-grade bypass kit and low-maintenance pre-filter as add-ons, each of which is also available as a pre-built configuration.
