It was tough to narrow down the Best of the Rest list – more and more great products are coming out – but here are our top five choices. The ones we’ve picked are made by industry respected and established manufacturers, perform very well for a reasonable price, and are certified by a third party. The products are easy to install, don’t take up much counter space, and they will remove the majority of water pollutants that are commonly found in tap water systems. In addition, most come with at least some type of warranty to ensure customer satisfaction. These filters are for cold water use only, in chlorinated public water systems unless otherwise specified. The price range reflects different offerings by different distributors - be sure to shop around for the best price!
