Guide Picks - Top Portable Household Water Filters
|
 |
|
|
Portable home water filters, including the convenient pourable pitchers, provide additional protection of an approved water supply at a low cost. These water filters improve water taste and remove odors, chlorine, rust, and sediment. More importantly, these filters remove heavy metals, such as lead and cadmium and confer some protection against pathogens, parasites, and hazardous organic compounds, such as pesticides and herbicides.

1.) BRITA Pitchers
BRITA water pitchers are affordable, easy-to-find (a significant factor when you go looking for replacement cartidges), and produce clean, clear water with no strange aftertaste. The pitchers are conveniently sized to fit in a refrigerator. Filters indicate when replacement is required.

|
2.) PUR Pitcher Water Filter
The PUR pourable pitchers are also convenient and affordable and confer equal or greater filtration capability as compared to the BRITA filters. In some instances, filtration takes a bit longer. Several models are available.

3.) Culligan Pitcher Filter
BRITA and PUR filters are readily available in stores and on the internet; any other pitcher is a distant third in terms of availability and affordability. However, both Culligan and Braun make products of comparable quality that are moderately easy to locate.
