Product Information

Again, the pitcher simply has a stainless steel overlay, which looks much more attractive than clear plastic but doesn’t help you to avoid plastic entirely. Included electronic filter indicator –This pitcher has a useful feature for determining when to replace the filters: an electronic indicator light. That means you don’t have to guess when to buy new filters, so you can enjoy consistent high-quality filtration throughout your use of the pitcher. Hi, Tom! Thanks for your great questions and for sharing your what you learned when you called Propur. Let me try to answer your questions. For best product care, clean the entire filtration system once a month and replace the filter when necessary. Please see the instruction manual for further details on product cleaning and maintenance.

Since we’re doing this in threes, there are three things to keep in mind when hunting down and choosing your water filter drinking bottle: the material, the size, and the coverage of protection. Consider these wisely and you’ll be stoked on the investment you made into your anywhere-anytime water drinking experience. Your Water Bottle’s Material Infused bacteriostatic outer ceramic shell and proprietary carbon-based granular media inside the core of the filterAffinity Filtration: TheClearly Filtered Water Bottlefeatures Affinity Filtration Technology which efficiently removes more than 220 contaminants at 99.9% purification. The Clearly Filtered Water Bottleis the best frontline defense against harmful impurities like chlorine, fluoride, lead, mercury, herbicides, pharmaceuticals, pesticides and volatile organic compounds. We think this Brita pitcher’s stainless steel design makes it visually appealing and much more functional than a standard plastic Brita Pitcher. Plus, stainless steel is stronger and more durable than plastic, so this pitcher should last longer than Brita’s plastic offerings. The fact is, you’ve gotta travel with a bottle. If you’re not doing that already, we’re going to have a serious chat. The impact of plastic bottles on the environment is abhorrent: don’t be a part of the problem. Another feature that we appreciated on the Pure Dispenser was the filter change timer, which meant we didn’t have the extra hassle of writing our own filter change reminders and remembering to buy replacement filters on time. To set the timer, we just pressed the start button for 3 seconds until “90” showed on the display. The filters need replacing after 150 gallons of filtration (ours lasted just over 3 months before the flow rate slowed significantly, so we used the filter change reminder as a guide rather than taking it as gospel). And on the subject of maintenance, the pitcher unit is dishwasher safe, though Epic recommends handwashing it in soapy water. We often struggle with what to do with our used water filters, so it was good to see that Epic offers a recycling program, where you can get a free filter for returning 4 used filters. We recommend you cycle water from the lower container on a regular basis. Do not allow water to sit in a lower container for more than 3 days. Should you need to store water, use an appropriate water storage container.

The AquaTru water filter dispenser removes over 80 contaminants, one of the highest among the water filters we tested, which earned it one of the top spots in our tests. We verified that it removes contaminants such as chlorine, heavy metals like lead, VOCs, pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors and more. In addition, it removes over 90% of fluoride, which some may prefer removed while others may not. The use of stainless steel in a pitcher also better insulates the water, so it’ll keep water cold for longer on a hot day. Stainless steel is free from potentially harmful chemicals, which can’t be said for plastics (even plastics sold as “BPA-free” might contain other harmful chemicals). Contaminant removal was the most essential consideration for us when testing and ranking our shortlisted gravity water filters. Based on our own experience with these systems, we found that most gravity water filters remove chlorine from water at the bare minimum. Consider your family size and your water usage, as well as any personal factors that might affect the pitcher size you choose.Stainless steel & plastic design –Like ZeroWater, the Brita 8 Cup Water Filter Pitcher has a BPA-free plastic design with a stainless steel overlay, giving it an attractive finish. As we drink up to 3.7 litres of water per day, a good water filter is definitely a worthwhile investment if you want to achieve better overall health. It was one of the fastest filters in our tests, coming in at 38 seconds per cup of water and, according to Brita, the filter lasts about six months before you need to change it. Chief Technologist & Executive Technical Director Rachel Rothman has this water filter pitcher at home and says, “With five thirsty mouths in our house, I like that the filter lasts longer so I’m not constantly changing it, and I enjoy the taste of the water.” I also asked Propur about the silver, and they told me that the silver used in the ProOne G2.0 filter is infused into the ceramic and does not leach out. Berkey filters are world leader in water filtering and water purification today in USA and Europe, and are so powerful that they are classed as water purifiers.

Unique Ceramic Filter: The ProOne Big+ Gravity Water Filtration System uses cutting-edge Ceramic filtration candles to bring you clean drinking water free of harmful heavy metals including lead, bacteria, fluoride, VOC’s and over 200 more contaminants, while also leaving healthy calcium-rich minerals behind, which improves water taste.We found it easier to assemble the Clearly Filtered pitcher compared to the ProOne unit. There was less effort involved in the entire process, from attaching the components to priming the filters (which is fast and easy thanks to the included reusable priming bag).

Multiple Colors: We appreciate that this premium filtering water bottlecomes in multiple unique colors at a competitive price.My personal favorite is Sage Gray! If you want confirmation that a pitcher can remove specific contaminants, look for testing by the two main certifying bodies in the US: NSF International and the Water Quality Association. That tells you that the pitcher has third-party approval for its performance abilities. This high-capacity pitcher has a stainless steel accent and removes up to 99.6% of all total dissolved solids (TDS) with its 5-stage filtration process. We have previously included the Big Berkey in our stainless steel water purifier review, but given the carbon filters were taken off the market, we had to remove it from our list until they are available again. Recently the EPA decided to change the Berkey filter’s classification to a “pesticide”. Yes, you read that correctly.

Effective Filtration: The PUR Plus Faucet Mount System filters out over 70 contaminants including lead. This system also filters out chlorine which many cities add to tap or drinking water. The filter system includes PUR’s Mineral Core technology which uses natural minerals to instantly filter water. But at the cost of all that extra toughness (and insulation) comes the extra weight. This makes it not always the preferred option for the outdoor adventurers seeking how to purify water in the wild. Nope, you’ll be still getting all your nutrients. That said, if you’re travelling somewhere water needs a filter, it’s a good idea to drink water with the electrolyte powder added on occasion just to ensure your body is still getting the best.
