Project scope

What we did

Shut off and drain the cold supply line
Clear the cabinet and protect the base
Mount the filter housing with clearance for changes
Tie into the cold line with the direct-connect fittings
Flush the cartridge and leak-test every joint

The job

The homeowner wanted filtered drinking water at the existing kitchen faucet without surrendering the whole cabinet to equipment. We installed an Aquasana Claryum direct-connect unit: supply off and drained, cabinet cleared and protected, housing mounted high enough to swap cartridges without pulling the unit, then a full flush and leak test before the cabinet went back together.

The problem

A homeowner wanted filtered drinking water at the kitchen tap without losing the whole cabinet to bulky equipment.

Our recommendation

A direct-connect under-sink filter tied into the cold line, mounted with cartridge-change clearance planned in from the start.

The result

Filtered water at the existing faucet, a tidy cabinet with room to swap cartridges, and no drips at any connection.
