FILTRATION
DISCLAIMER
The best water filter for you and your home may be different than what is best for someone else. Before you purchase a water filter, go to www.ewg.org/tapwater and look up what contaminants that are in your water system. Please note: a whole house filter does NOT provide the same level of filtration that a drinking water filter does. You should still have a drinking water filtration system in your kitchen, even if you have a whole house filter for your showers and hand washing. I do not recommend Reverse Osmosis Filters unless it has a remineralizing stage on it.

UNDER
SINK.
Other Options:
Runner Up: ($449) AquasanaSmart Flow RO w/ mineral filter
Runner up ($499) Clean Water Revival Triple AIO
Second runner up ($550): Clearly Filtered Undersink
Budget Reverse Osmosis w/ Mineral Filter ($220) : iSpring 6
Pure Effect Ultra - $550
In my opinion, this is the best undersink water filter system available. It removes up to 99% of all contaminants, including fluoride, PFAS, Heavy Metals, Radioactive contamination and everything else you might be concerned with, but has all the minerals intact for a full electrolyte, delicious, clean water. If I was on the market for a drinking water filter, this is what I would buy.
GRAVITY
FILTERS.
Pro One Gravity Filter - $279
Pro One gets the top spot because you don’t have to purchase separate fluoride filters, and their G2 filters are NSF certified. I’d be grabbing one of these if I was back in the market for a countertop gravity filter.
Other Options:
Best Pitcher Option: ($74) plus filter): Pro One
Best Pitcher Runner Up: ($90 plus filters) : Clearly Filtered
Best Budget Option ($60 plus filters): Epic Pure Dispenser
WHOLE
HOUSE.
Pure Effect Whole House ($2649)
This is the best on the market, IMO. Pure Effect is my favorite water filter company in general. Highest quality, uses compressed carbon, vice granular, easy to change cartridges, no fouling, no backwash and very little maintenance and leaves minerals intact.
Other Great Options:

Best for 20 year capacity ($3499): Aqua Ox

Best for well water ($2204): Springwell Whole House Well Filter
Best UV Purification for well water: ($1100) Springwell UV Filter
Best on a budget ($500): Express Water
SHOWER
FILTERS.
JOLIE $148
The clear hands down winner in this category. A high-purity KDF-55 filter removes chlorine and other heavy metals, but, unlike other filters that slow down water pressure, this one doesn’t. Each filter also includes Calcium Sulfite balls to quickly remove chlorine quickly. Your hair and skin will notice a difference immediately.
Other Great Options:
Best runnerup ($100): Aquasana Shower Head Filter
Best budget option ($30): Aqua Earth Shower Filter
Best budget option for hard water ($32): Pure Action
Best for baths ($40): CuZn Bath Ball
