Main-Faucet Water Filter Replacement Cartridge for A. O. Smith AO-MF-ADV, 784-Gallon Claryum
Main-faucet water filter replacement cartridge restores Advanced Claryum filtration in the A. O. Smith AO-MF-ADV Clean Water system. Activated-carbon media reduces listed lead, mercury, asbestos, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, chlorine, microplastics, and other contaminants while maintaining the system's direct-connect arrangement.
The genuine AO-MF-ADV-R cartridge is IAPMO certified to NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53, and 401 for its listed filtration performance. It is rated for up to 784 gallons or six months and measures 3 inches across by 17 inches high. Homeowners can replace the cartridge without a plumber. After installation, carbon saturation may take several days; a later flow slowdown can signal a clogged filter requiring replacement. The listing also includes the complete AO-MF-ADV system, so choose the Replacement Filter variant for an installed unit.
