## Questions & Answers

**Q: How can i get replacement filters for my ao smith advanced under sink water filter system?  amazon says that it cannot ship them to california.**
A: Last purchased one in Sept 2022, shipped to CA; went to re-purchase today and Amazon indicated that it could not ship to my location (but could ship to other states).

**Q: Is this compatible with the aquasana claryum aq-mf-1?**
A: I have an Aquasana AQ-MF-1. The AO Smith replacement filter has worked as expected for the last 6 months - no leaks, same performance.

For what it's worth, AO Smith acquired Aquasana in 2016.

**Q: How do you know when the filter needs to be changed?**
A: We put a date on it when we replace it and just auto-replace every six months

**Q: Does this work to reduce pfas6 concentration?**
A: This filter system is only tested and certified for PFOS and PFOA reduction. (NSF P473)

Thank you,

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great water out of my kitchen faucet, easy to change filter
  

*by G***. on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2023*

I want to have cold tap water with no clorene taste and filter out any other contaminants from the municipal water supply.  Previously I used a different style filter where the filter sits in a screw on external housing.  I got tired of fighting to unscrew that housing which seemed to get a little harder every time.  This new style is more expensive to replace but far easier, just shut off the water supply to the filter, turn the housing and it releases.  Put the new one in, turn until it snaps into place, turn the water back on and run for 5 minutes.  That's it.  It's good for 6 months.  Highly recommend as an easy to use alternative.
