Aquasana Dedicated Filter Faucets: Premium Finishes for Under-Sink Filter Systems
Aquasana (Austin, Texas, an AO Smith company) sells dedicated filter faucets as components of its under-sink filtration systems (Claryum, OptimH2O). Aquasana filter faucets are available in Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Oil-Rubbed Bronze, and Matte Black -- a broader finish selection than most RO brands include with their systems. Aquasana's OptimH2O RO system ($300--$400) includes a premium Aquasana faucet in the selected finish; the Claryum Direct Connect ($150--$250) uses a diverter valve on the existing faucet rather than a dedicated second faucet.
Aquasana Faucet + Filter System Combinations
Aquasana OptimH2O (under-sink RO, dedicated faucet included, $300--$400): certified to NSF 42, 53, 401, and 58, with a premium Aquasana faucet in 4 finish options. The OptimH2O faucet is the best-quality faucet included with any under-sink RO at its price point -- noticeably better handle weight and ceramic disc quality vs. APEC, iSpring, or Waterdrop included faucets. For households where the filter faucet aesthetic matters as much as the filtration performance, Aquasana OptimH2O provides the best faucet + filter combination.
Aquasana Shower Filter Faucets
Aquasana also sells shower filtration products (AQ-4100 shower filter, AQ-4105 with handheld) -- these are shower head + filter combinations, not faucet-type products. In the faucet category, Aquasana's primary product is the dedicated filter faucet for its OptimH2O and Claryum under-sink systems. Aquasana does not manufacture standard kitchen or bathroom faucets without an integrated filter component.
