Like me, you will spend large chunks of time searching the internet for the best faucet water filter. I can't blame you, when I went looking for a faucet filter I was surprised at the quality differences I found. Because of this I thought I wanted to give you a recap of the top 3 things to look out for when buying the best faucet water filter.
#1 - Indentify what contaminates get eliminated
I was surprised to find out that not all filters are created equal. I reviewed products from 10 unique faucet filter companies. On each companies websites they have information on all the unique contaminates their filters will remove. I assumed that all filters were very much the same but I found out they are not. The number of contaminates that are each product eliminates is astounding, even though the faucet water filter cost are all about the same. Some products only remove the basics like chlorine and lead. While the best faucet water filters also remove up to 10 other contaminates from Cysts to Benzene.
#2 - Effectiveness of the filter
Here is another area I was surprised to find out was an issue. You can take two filters that when you first look at them remove the same contaminates but there effectiveness will vary wildly. For example take a contaminent that would seem easy to remove, Chlorine. I compared the top 10 filters and the percent of contaminate removal ranged from 75% to 99%. Pretty astounding, In fact this wide difference is eviendant for any of the contaminates you would like eliminated from their drinking water.
#3 - Cost per Gallon
A faucet filter can be a significant investment, so you'll want to check out the on-going cost to operate one. There are two main cost measurements you will find quoted, they are "cost per 1000 gallons" and "cost per gallon". These two measures gives us a benchmark that we can see the on-going cost of different water filters. Here again the costs are at both ends of the spectrum, and they don't seem to correlate with the effectiveness or numbers of contaminates removed. I found on a "cost per gallon" basis a range of 9.8 to 25 cents per gallon. This means some filters cost almost 3 times more to operate but they don't always provide 3 times cleaner water.
The balls now in your court, I've given you 3 things to consider when you pick on the best faucet water filter. Take these 3 faucet filter tips and begin your own research, you will be surprised at the difference between each of the water filters you study. I'm sure this will help lead you to to the best faucet water filter for you.
