We all know our bodies need water, and yet many of us don’t drink enough of it on a daily basis. Whether we realize it or not, our source for drinking water plays a big role in how much water we drink. Tap water can contain contaminants and have a bad taste. Bottled water can be expensive and wasteful. What we need is clean filtered water that tastes good, saves money, and meets our daily intake needs. If you’re looking for an easy way to drink more water, have a look at our favorite water filter pitchers and why we love them.
BPA-free option
Need space in your refrigerator and on your countertops? The Brita pitcher has a space-saving design and easy-fill locking lid that makes it simple to use without cluttering your space. Your water will taste great, too, as the filter reduces chlorine, mercury, copper, zinc, and cadmium. Brita is a leading and trusted brand in water filtering solutions. So go ahead and boost your H2O intake with one of these simple additions to your kitchen and to your healthy lifestyle.
Clean taste
If you’re looking for the cleanest, purest tasting water, look no further than the ZeroWater Pitcher. This NSF-certified pitcher comes with a water quality meter so you can feel secure that your water is being consumed safely and at its highest quality. With five stages of filtration that use ion exchange technology in conjunction with carbon filtration, the ZeroWater pitcher removes virtually all (99.9% to be exact) solids. This model effectively removes twice the dissolved solids over the leading brand.
For heavy-duty use
Buying bottled water for your home? It might be time to start saving time, money, and the planet, by switching to the PUR water dispenser. It’s easy to use, and reduces 99 percent of lead and more than 70 contaminants, giving you crisp clean water that tastes great. It even has a CleanSensor monitor, taking the guesswork out of when to change the filter. Forty gallons will give you one to two months of purified drinking. BPA-free, the slim design of this pitcher is made to store easily inside your fridge.
Saves the good stuff
The LifeStraw pitcher goes above and beyond with its sustainable design and advanced filtration. It’s the only filter of its kind protecting against bacteria, parasites, microplastics, heavy metals, and organic chemical matter like pesticides and herbicides. At the same time, it retains the minerals that are good for you such as magnesium, potassium, carbon, and sodium. With this LifeStraw pitcher, you’ll enjoy super clean water with all the health benefits.
Eco-safe pick
Large enough to store ten cups of water but easy enough to pour and refill, the Epic Pure pitcher is designed for both form and function. It produces a sizable 150 gallons of contaminant-free water. This filter lasts 4 times longer than other brands, and you can feel safe knowing the pitcher is 100 percent BPA-free. A nice feature is the LED timer incorporated into the spill-proof lid, so you’ll always know when it’s time to change the filter. Once you get used to this “epic” pitcher, you’ll never settle for ordinary tap water again.
