The best quality water filters for drinking water, whole house filtration and for your shower.
Water Filters
In a perfect world, every home would have an undersink drinking water filter and a whole house filter + water softener (if needed). The whole house filter that is right for you will depend on your water, what contaminants are found and whether you are on city water or well water.
I HIGHLY recommend using a local water filtration dealer that will give you local support, installation & maintenance.
If you want to shop on your own and hire a plumber to install, my top choices are listed below. I have Pure Effect in my home and you can call them and they will walk you through the whole process!
HOW TO CHOOSE A WATER FILTER
This is my #1 top pick. 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. This is the only filter that I have found that certifies it removes not just microplastics, but nanoplastics, while preserving minerals.

If you aren't able to install an undersink or it's out of price range for you, Clearly Filtered also has an inline behind the fridge filter ($165) that will provide your fridge water & ice with pure, clean water.

MY SECOND PICK:
If for some reason you aren't able to install a water filter underneath your kitchen sink and a behind the fridge option like Clearly Filtered isn't something you want, then the Rorra Countertop Filter is your best option. This filter will remove everything you want out, except for fluoride.

This is the best on the market, IMO. Pure Effect is my favorite water filter company in general. Highest quality, uses compressed catalytic carbon, vice granular, easy to change cartridges, no fouling, no backwash and very little maintenance and leaves minerals intact. If you call them, they will walk you through the best options for your needs.
**Make sure to flush your system and turn it off once a month. I also have a Fleck water softener in addition.**
