Looking For A Water Filtration System To Drink Clean Water?
Contents
Do you ever wish your tap water tasted fresher or had fewer contaminants?
High quality, safe drinking water is a priority in many households, but with so many drinking water systems on the market it can be difficult to find the right one for you.
There is an abundance of water purification system reviews out there and it can be a little overwhelming. I have narrowed it down to 5 of the top water filtration systems on the market.
Start by finding out what's in your water. The CDC suggests testing your water and checking the system's label to make sure it removes the contaminants you're concerned about. No single system removes everything.
Look for certification to NSF/ANSI standards, which means an independent lab has tested the maker's claims.
Brita 10 Cup Water Pitcher
When it comes to water systems it doesn't get much simpler than the Brita 10 cup pitcher. It is so easy to use – you simply fill the top reservoir straight from the tap and let it drip through the filter.
It is large enough to cater for your family needs, yet small enough to fit neatly in the refrigerator. This means you and your family will be able to enjoy cold and clean water with a simple pour!
The Brita 10 cup pitcher is made from BPA-free plastic. Brita says its standard filter reduces chlorine taste and odor, copper, mercury and cadmium; it is not certified for lead.
One filter lasts about 40 gallons, or roughly two months for a typical household, and a sticker indicator reminds you when to change it.
The Brita 10 cup pitcher is a low-cost way to improve the taste of your water.
New Wave Enviro Water Filtration System
The water system used by New Wave Enviro is incredibly user-friendly.
You don't have to worry about remembering to fill up a pitcher or dispenser because the New Wave Enviro water filtration system attaches directly to your faucet. Whenever you turn on your tap, the maker says the filter reduces chlorine and improves taste.
The maker rates the replaceable filter for about 1,500 gallons of water, which can last a family many months.

PUR 18 Cup Dispenser
The PUR 18 cup dispenser is a cost effective way to provide a large family with readily available drinking water.
The dispenser can be placed comfortably in the refrigerator or simply left out on the countertop for easy access.
The dispenser comes with one filter, which typically lasts about two months. Check PUR's site for any current filter recycling options.
The PUR 18 cup dispenser is made from BPA-free plastic and reduces the taste and smell of chlorine.
PUR Faucet Filter
If you are after a purified water system that takes up no valuable space in your refrigerator or on your countertops, the PUR Faucet Filter is just what you need.
PUR says the faucet filter reduces lead, certain pesticides and mercury, and it attaches to most standard taps without tools. Check the certification on the package if lead is your concern.
The sleek design will complement your kitchen and the innovative CleanSensor Monitor clearly indicates when you need to change your filter.
Filter mode can be easily switched on or off depending on your needs – no need to waste the filter when it isn't necessary such as when you fill the sink to wash the dishes. This gives you a longer life out of each filter.
iSpring Under Sink Reverse Osmosis Filter System
The iSpring under sink reverse osmosis filter system is one of the best pure water systems on the market.
It can be fitted under just about any sink without impeding on valuable storage space both on the countertop and below the sink.
There are easy to follow instructions included and the system can be put in place by even the most novice DIY-er.
The iSpring system uses five stages, including a reverse osmosis membrane. Reverse osmosis reduces many contaminants, such as lead, arsenic and nitrates, and also removes parasites, bacteria and viruses, according to the CDC.
RO systems waste some water and need regular filter changes. Look for NSF/ANSI 58 certification.
There you have my water filtration system reviews. With a range of different types available, you can find one that suits your family's needs and budget.
Whatever you choose, replace filters on schedule. An old, clogged filter stops working and can even grow bacteria.
