The best water filters for truly clean water

Choosing a water filter these days can be so overwhelming!
There’s a lot of greenwashing going on or companies making claims, but which can you actually TRUST?

And then, it also comes down to your personal needs/preferences.
Things to consider when purchasing a water filtration system:

1. Quality of filtration (aka does it actually work)

2. Price (upfront AND filter replacement)

3. Do you have city water or well water?

4. What kinds of toxins are in your water that need to be filtered out?

5. Home size / space - do you own your home or renting? Which system will work best for you/your family to actually USE the water filter?

   First, I recommend checking your water quality through the free zip code resource on EWG’s tap water database.
   This way you can make sure whatever filter you choose works for filtering out the water contaminants in your area
   
   Second, decide what will work best for you to actually use the filter.

   1. Do you want to start small with a budget water pitcher?

   2. Do you already have a fridge water filter that would be easy enough to switch to something more effective?

   3. Do you use a lot of water and need something that will filter gallons at a time?

   4. Do you own your house and want to install something more permanent and convenient?
      

      The most trusted, quality water filters
      that won’t totally break the bank:
      1. Greenfield Water Solutions - gravity feed countertop system (best Berkey alternative OR if you already have a Berkey already and need new filters)
      2. AquaTru - reverse osmosis countertop or under sink system
      3. Clearly Filtered - pitcher, water bottle, fridge, or under sink system
      
      What I recommend for…
      1. Water pitcher ($) - Clearly Filtered
      2. Travel water bottle ($) - Clearly Filtered
      3. Fridge filter ($$) - Clearly Filtered
      3. Countertop ($$$) - Greenfield Water Solutions
      4. Countertop ($$$$) - AquaTru
      5. Under sink ($$$$) - Clearly Filtered
      6. Under sink ($$$$$) - AquaTru
      7. Shower filter ($) - Aquasana

   And in case you’re wondering…typical water pitchers (Brita, Soma, etc) or fridge filters do NOT actually fully filter out contaminants 😬😬😬🫠🫠🫠 and bottled water at the store is high in PFAs/BPA 💀
