Let\u2019s face it: sometimes, municipal water just flat-out sucks.<\/p>\n
Mostly because of the chlorine, but the bigger issue is you never really know if there\u2019s been some kind of problem down at the treatment plant.<\/p>\n
Today we\u2019re going to show you the best under sink filters. <\/p>\n
The flipside of having so many great options is having to choose between them. We\u2019re here to help. We\u2019ve taken a look at what the market has on offer and chosen the five best under sink water filters for you. But what do you need to know before choosing one?<\/p>\n
All the filter systems we show here strains the water in differing numbers of stages. Usually the greater the number of stages, the better, but it\u2019s not always the case. One thing to keep in mind \u2014 an increased number of stages can increase the cost of the system and the replacement purifiers.<\/p>\n
This is how long your new filtration system will go before you need to replace the filters, usually measured in gallons. Higher is often better, but if it\u2019s too high, you\u2019ll need to look at the bacteriostatic element in the filtration process. Why? Because sitting there for months and even years on end, things tend to grow a little funky.<\/p>\n
Most under sink water filter systems come with a dedicated faucet. By using a dedicated faucet instead of hooking into your main faucet, you\u2019re conserving h2o and saving money. Instead of purifiying every drop of liquid you run through your faucet (cooking water, washing the hands, water for plants, doing the dishes) you\u2019re filtering only the water you plan on consuming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Alright, we took a good hard look at what is available in the marketplace and came up with a handful of choices that we think would make sense to pick up. Here they are in no particular order.<\/p>\n
3M is a big corporation and their water filtration systems are well regarded. The 3US-PS01 is a simple affair: it just plugs into your water line. The good \u2014 NSF tested and certified to reduce chlorine taste and smell as well as cysts. It will also reduce sand, silt, rust, and other chunky things. It\u2019s also one of the cheapest models on this list.<\/p>\n
The bad \u2014 It doesn\u2019t filter out a lot of more advanced things like heavy metals: arsenic, lead, etc. It has no dedicated faucet, so you will be using it for pretty much everything, including washing your hands and watering the plants. You can set up a dedicated faucet if you want, but that will raise the cost.<\/p>\n
