New patented SmartFlow™ technology combines with Claryum®
filtration and reverse osmosis to tackle 90 contaminants with more
water, less waste and a longer filter life
AUSTIN,
Texas, Aug. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
Aquasana, a leading maker of high-performance water filters for the
home, today announced the brand's new SmartFlow™ Reverse Osmosis
(RO) water filtration system for maximum efficiency. Designed to
filter more water with less water waste, Aquasana's patented
SmartFlow™ technology is combined with Claryum® and RO filtration
technologies to remove up to 99.99% of 90 contaminants, including
fluoride, arsenic, lead, PFOA/PFOS and microplastics – one of the
highest contaminant removal rates of all reverse osmosis systems on
the market.
We're excited to combine Aquasana's high
performance Claryum® filtration technology with the power of
reverse osmosis to create a new solution that removes even more
contaminants than previously available for maximum
protection.
This comes as Aquasana's recent fifth annual Water Quality
Survey found that concern over drinking water quality in the U.S.
has more than doubled over the past two years, and nine in 10
Americans (91%) filter their drinking water at home – up 25% from
73% in 2020. It's no wonder, considering an estimated 45% of the
nation's tap water contains the "forever chemicals" known as PFAS,
which have been linked to cancer and other illnesses. Additionally,
the EPA recently reported that almost a tenth of the nation's
drinking water service lines contain lead.
"Installing a water filter is an easy and effective way to
instantly improve the overall health and wellness of a home," said
Derek Mellencamp, General Manager of
Aquasana. "We strive to provide families with the maximum
protection possible against potentially harmful contaminants,
including emerging contaminants like PFOA/PFOS and microplastics as
they become more omnipresent. We're excited to combine our high
performance Claryum® filtration technology with the power of
reverse osmosis to create a new solution that removes even more
contaminants than previously available."
Reverse osmosis is one of the most effective methods to reduce
fluoride and other difficult-to-tackle contaminants like arsenic
and hexavalent chromium. The new SmartFlow™ combines Claryum®
technology – which features four different methods of filtration to
reduce the maximum number of contaminants – with reverse osmosis
and a remineralizer to restore healthy minerals that are lost in
the RO process, improving pH balance for healthier, delicious
water. The system is Water Quality Association tested and certified
to NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53 (includes P473), 58, 401 and CSA
B483.1 to remove 90 contaminants.
According to Aquasana's recent Water Quality Survey,
sustainability is increasingly a top priority for American
consumers. More than half of U.S. adults polled said they "always
or often" seek products to purchase because they are sustainable
for the environment, up 130% over the past two years from 27% in
2021 to 62% in 2023. Aquasana's patented SmartFlow™ technology was
engineered by a team of dedicated engineers and water scientists to
achieve maximum efficiency. In addition to providing more filtered
water, less water waste and a longer filter life, the compact
system takes up less space under the sink than Amazon's current
top-selling reverse osmosis unit and is certified to remove 89 more
contaminants. Compared to Aquasana's previous RO model, SmartFlow™
is 57% more efficient and has a 93% higher daily production rate.
Additionally, each set of filters replaces the equivalent of 2,750+
plastic water bottles.
Replacing the filters is fast and easy, no need to disconnect
hoses or water lines – simply twist out and replace. SmartFlow™ RO
Carbon, Claryum® and Remineralizer replacements last for 365
gallons or up to six months, and the SmartFlow™ RO Membrane
replacement lasts for 12 months. The system also comes with a
premium, all-metal dedicated faucet that's available in four
finishes – brushed nickel, chrome, matte black, and oil rubbed
bronze – or a "no faucet" option to use with an existing air gap
faucet.
The new SmartFlow™ Reverse Osmosis water filter is available
nationwide at Aquasana.com, starting at $199.99 for the "no faucet" option, or
$224.99 for a system that includes a
dedicated faucet.
