The Aquasana OptimH2O under sink filter combines powerful water filtration technology for best water health and effective hydration. It is the only proven water filtration method that can remove fluoride and over 85 additional impurities.
It is able to filter fluoride and tests it to remove five times more impurities than other RO systems.
This is the first reverse osmosis system of its kind combining powerful reverse osmosis filtration with the ability to re-mineralize with selective Claryum filtration.
All this means that it removes most of the impurities from your water while maintaining the benefits of healthy minerals that other reverse osmosis systems usually eliminate.
Reverse osmosis OptimH2O + Claryum can eliminate the following:
- 99 percent asbestos and lead.
- 95 percent mercury and fluoride.
- 97 percent arsenic and chlorine.
Optimh2o Reverse Osmosis + Aquasana Claryum Filter: Best Features
This whole house filter can remove more than 95 percent of fluoride without completely demineralizing. “Re-mineralization” means that it put’s back healthy minerals it removed while filtering your water. It is the only proven water filtration technology that effectively removes fluoride from tap water.
In other words, this remineralises the water to regain the healthy minerals lost in reverse osmosis. Such as calcium, magnesium and potassium.
It improves the pH of the water for optimal consumption of alkaline water. This device has a reliable flow that delivers tasty, crispy and healthy water.
The RO filters out most dissolved solids, such as arsenic and fluoride, that are smaller than 1 micron.
It comes with ion exchange that can filter heavy metals like mercury and lead.
The catalytic carbon in the plants can attack chloramines and chlorine with its ammonia and chlorine disinfectant.
The presence of activated carbon will help to reduce organic chemicals such as VOC’s (volatile organic compounds), pesticides, MTBE and herbicides.
Remineralization means that this filter also returns healthy minerals into the water. The result of this is that it improves the alkalinity of the water through the pH balance of the water.
Replacement filter cartridges easier to replace. They are also carbon filter housing and ecological Claryum.
Submicron filter that removes and filters asbestos- and chlorine-resistant cysts such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia.
The water pressure is 0.5 GPM standard.
The result: This machine effectively removes more than 95% of the fluoride and 87 additional impurities. It is able to restore healthy minerals to provide you with the healthiest drinking water.
How The OptimH2O Works
It uses reverse osmosis, which reduces and filters out several impurities fluoride, nitrates and radium.
Selective filtration Claryum® filters out many impurities. These include herbicides, heavy metals, chlorine, pesticides and chloramines.
The remineralization of healthy minerals means healthy minerals are returned to your water.
This can include magnesium, calcium and potassium as well as produce alkaline water with a healthy pH.
One of the biggest benefits is that it can filter fluoride.
The Carbon / Claryum filter lasts 6 months.
2 year warranty.
Tested and certified to NSF / ANSI standards.
Aquasana OptimH2O Review: Is It WORTH It?
The answer is yes.
The latest under sink water filter models like the OptimH2O Reverse Osmosis + Claryum are now more effective than ever before.
Especially as they now use RO technology, which is one of the most effective filtering methods currently available.
However, the best water filter systems not only use a single filtration method, but combine different techniques.
This ensures that water is not only pure, but also has a great aroma.
Since the RO removes everything from water, it can lead to water that tastes flat.
Instead of a flat flavor water that contains neither minerals nor nutrients, the best filters such as Optimh2O also remineralize.
The water filter cartridges last very long and treat your water at source so you can simply set-it-and-forget-it.
Hi,
I’ve seen a lot of comments/reviews saying that this leaks (some even said they hired a professional to install). Any thoughts on this?
Thanks!
what 3rd party faucets work for aquasana reverse osmosis? They don’t have a brass one that matches our main faucet and other fixtures
Hi Scott
I contacted Aquasana on your behalf but no response yet. I personally think any standard fitting faucet should work because pretty much all faucets have to be the standard size/fit in order to work and the reverse osmosis filter is typically connected to the pipes not the faucet.
However, I’ll update this once they respond.

Luke
so how does it add minerals back in ? I would rather do that myself can I skip this step?
Hi Art,
Yes, the Aquasana Optimh2O does remineralize i.e. adds back healthy minerals into your water through the cartridges.
Stay hydrated,
Luke
