Water Filter Ratings

Water Filter Pitchers (6)

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 (6)

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 (4)

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 (6)

If you're looking for easy installation, these are a good choice for filtering drinking and cooking water.

Countertop Water Filters (5)

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.
