The Best Water Filters
These easy to install filters are perfect for renters or homeowners!
Sometimes we take tap water for granted. If it comes out of our tap it has to be safe, right? Unfortunately, that’s often not the case. While our water treatment plants do a great job filtering out the obviously toxic stuff, harmful chemicals like lead, pesticides, PFAS, and pharmaceuticals can still make their way into our tap water. That’s why we always recommend a water filtration system! If you’re a homeowner, you can install a filtration that integrates with your own water throughout your house.
There are also a ton of great options if you’re renting or can’t install anything in your home. A small water filter pitcher or countertop dispenser are great options if you’re looking for something hassle free. If you’re feeling a little more crafty, you can install a faucet mount. These mounts require no tools and can easily install on most faucets!
