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 still need a drinking water filtration system in your kitchen, even if you have a whole house filter. I do not recommend Reverse Osmosis Filters unless it has a remineralizing stage on it.

Water Filters
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.
Pure Effect Ultra - $550

Under Sink Drinking Water
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
Pro One Gravity Filter - $279
COUNTER TOP & PITCHERS

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.
Pure Effect Whole House ($2649)
other clean options:
Whole House Water Filters
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.
