Carrying around a refreshing cup of water is one of the essentials for students everywhere. Who isn’t carrying around reusable water bottles these days? Where that water comes from is just as important as the reusable water bottle. Since I sent my son off to college two years ago, his one constant request when we visit is not to forget the cases of water. Dorm life tap water is a rinky faucet in the kitchenette that tastes “funny”. We have come a long way from that funny tasting water and cases of bottled waters hauled three flights of stairs. This essential dorm hack will change the way you drink water. Aquasana’s Claryum® Direct Connect self-installation system is so simple we installed it ourselves in the existing sink with no plumbing experience. Just small screws under the sink to hold the filtration system in place and a quick connect to the cold water.

One Aquasana filter replaces more than 6,250 plastic water bottles.

The pure performance of the Claryum® filtration system reduces 15X more contaminants than those pitcher style water filtrations. Claryum has an easy filter replacement that replaces by twisting off the system and replacing it. There is no change in the flow of the water and it filters 784 gallons or up to 6 months. The filtration system has selective technology that will retain naturally occurring beneficial minerals found in water like calcium, potassium, and magnesium.

Installation of the Claryum Direct Connect is easy. The filtration system can be mounted under the sink with the included brackets horizontal or diagonal to save space. You simply turn off and disconnect the cold water under the sink, attach the dual port adapter and reattach the cold water line. The two included tubing pieces will then connect to the cartridge head in the “in and out” ports and you are done. It is a simple quick connect diy.

My Thoughts

For years I have questioned just how clean certain our drinking water out of the tap is. When you see calcium build up, hard water, mineral deposits that float around, and the continuous question of why does our faucet water “tastes funny” you wonder if your water is really good for you. I installed the Aquasana Claryum® Direct Connect under my sons dorm sink in about 30 minutes all by myself. An immediate clean taste in water and no change in the water pressure makes this Aquasana water filtration an easy must-have for dorm rooms everywhere. Washing fruits and vegetables and drinking water doesn’t have to have a funny taste. Now there’s a hack that will save your student from having to buy bottled water in bulk and keep you from wondering if that water is safe.
