What is the most reliable water filter brand?
My family and I have been using a Brita water filter and we have noticed black specks in our drinking water, even after cleaning and replacing filters. This has turned me off of water filters all together and I want to switch back to bottled water. I would however like to know if there are any water filters that have few problems and can completely filter tap water.
Filter brands are just names companies put on filters. Some may be better than others, depending on what cartridges are used and what you want to remove from your water. Most simple home filters systems use carbon for removing chlorine and some other contaminants like organic materials. However, most carbon filters have a limited life, usually from 3 months to 6 months and will only remove mainly chlorine. To remove other contaminants like iron, heavy metals and arsenic, other filter media is required. KDF is a very good media that removes chlorine, inorganic arsenic, lead and pesticides. Many of the popular brands of filters use only carbon and remove only chlorine with a life of up to 6 months. Some small manufacturers produce filters using KDF media that last 3 years and remove more contaminants than the name brand filters. No matter the brand name, a filter system using KDF media combined with carbon will always last longer and be more reliable than a name brand filter using carbon only. So, in the water filter industry, name brands may not be as reliable as brands from smaller companies.
