Water Filter Pitchers (12)
The best model we tested did a stellar job of removing chlorine without sacrificing cartridge life or flow rate. Some others are slow, are prone to clogging, and have a short filter life.
. . .Under-Sink Water Filters (10)
Like countertop filters, these can filter lots of water. Instead of cluttering the counter, they rob space from the cabinet beneath the sink.
. . .Reverse Osmosis Water Filters (2)
Using standard household water pressure, water is forced through a semi-permeable membrane, then through filters. Reverse osmosis filters can remove a wide range of contaminants, including dissolved solids.
. . .Faucet-Mounted Water Filters (5)
If you're looking for easy installation, these are a good choice for filtering drinking and cooking water.
. . .Countertop Water Filters (3)
These filters are also easy to install: Just remove the faucet aerator, then screw the filter onto the faucet. This allows you to filter large quantities of water without modifying your plumbing.
