best drinking water filter? | Best Water Filter System
Britta is only a basic filter. It does improve taste but it really does very little. Water purification systems are better. The highest rated system is an eSpring. Only a distillery can possibly get water cleaner. Ironically even though the basic system does cost more than a basic Britta system does the cost per gallon is less than Britta by year 2.
You are even raising your costs by getting 3 different ones. The cost per gallon will be the same after the initial purchase but now you have 3. With the eSpring you will need only one. The under counter system has a separate faucet from the regular water line. You can add a line to your fridge without using another filter cartridge. Then you can then just use a regular every day pitcher if you still want to keep water in one. That way it costs less than the Brita pitcher and holds more since it does not have to have it’s own filter cartridge.

Recently we wrote about the high incidence of pharmaceuticals in US cities’ drinking water supplies. That got us to thinking “Which water filters really work?” Brita, Pur, reverse osmosis….it’s a filter jungle out there! Here is the low down on home water filters.
First off, there are several different types of water filters. There are pitcher or carafe models, of which the Brita is the most popular. These models are good for filters small amounts of drinking water and have the benefit of requiring no installation. Next there are the faucet-mounted models, which are relatively easy to install and allow you to filter all water coming from your faucet. However, they do typically slow the flow rate of your faucet. Then there are countertop models, which typically mount on your sink next to your faucet. They allow you to filter a larger amount of water and have better flow rates than the faucet-mount models.
