AquagearWater Filter Pitcher – Lead, Chlorine, PFOA/PFOS, Microplastics Filter, 10 Cup, 120 Gallon Filter Life - Filter Media Made in USA

I've used Aquagear pitchers for several years. Aquagear makes tap water taste better than the bottled water and other water filter pitchers that I have tried. This pitcher also removes forever chemicals and microplastics as well as a long list of other substances. There is a list on their web site.

Really though! I bought mine in 2018 and have been using it ever since. I recently realized that there was a lifetime warranty and I reached out to the company about some damage that had occurred to my lid and they had a new one at my house in about 2 days!In addition to the amazing warranty, they also have a FREE water filter recycling program! If you’re very mindful about your waste like I am it probably drives you nuts that so many water filters have to go in the trash. Well, not anymore! You just email them with your address and the number of filters that you want to recycle and they send you a return label. You just package it up in the packaging that your new filter came in and send it off!And lastly, but also super important, how does it work? Well since I have been using it for so long I recently decided to check and see if it was still performing well against newer models on the market. I was able to access a report done by Consumer Reports that tester Aquagear against many others on the market and it performed very well! In fact Consumer Reports said that it was their #1 pick for removing microplastics, which is super important to me! While it didn’t perform the best on certain tests, when taken overall it still came out amazing since the highest performers on one test might have been the lowest on another or some other filters even added contaminants to the water!Needless to say I am sticking with Aquagear. The water tastes great, it filters fast, the filters last for 6 months, and with the independent testing and life time warranty I can feel confident that my water is clean and I won’t have to buy a new pitcher again!

My Aquagear water pitcher was purchased through Amazon in August, 2018, and has served well for 6.5 years of daily use. I bought it on the suggestion of my doctor and nutritionist when I started a food program to clear out toxins and gain better health. I researched many pitchers and filters to find one that removes as many contaminants and impurities as Aquagear. The filtered water tastes much better than water run through my refrigerator's water filter system and I won't consider drinking water from our metropolitan water system. The manufacturer has a water program which provides clean water to areas without clean drinking water, I can return used the used water filters and the company donates to the organization. In addition to all the good I get in using the Aquagear pitcher and filters, I can help someone else too. On the practical side, the quality of the filters and their individual use time continues to be excellent and I can reorder the filters from Amazon with speedy delivery and no problems. It's a win - win for me!

We’ve been using this water pitcher for four years now. The water tastes great. It makes a difference when I make coffee with it. I wish the filters were a little cheaper.

We unfortunately don’t trust the local water and alternatively don’t want to drink out of thin plastic bottles which contribute to the plastic war. So, after significant research and careful consideration, we landed on the Aquagear purified drinking water system and absolutely love it. We can taste the difference in our water. Additionally we admire and appreciate that the brand has established the Aquagear Foundation which provides residents in communities in Tanzania access to clean water for the first time in their lives.

I purchased this because of its claims to remove fluoride and chlorine from my family's drinking water. I received the pitcher in a timely manner, followed the instructions to flush the filter and I started to use the product as directed. The water was flowing through the filter just as fast as it was filling the reservoir. Right away, I suspected that the filter was not working properly because even the cheapest water filters impede the flow of water as they do their job filtering. The so-called filtered water still smelled like the chlorinated water that comes from my tap. So, as a D-licensed waste water technician, I pulled out my free-chlorine tester kit (not total chlorine, because there is a difference), and the filtered water tested the same as my tap water for free-chlorine. Which means the filter was not working whatsoever. So I e-mailed Aquagear to hopefully get a replacement filter. Was it a same-day response for customer service like they advertise on their paperwork? No. But I received an e-mail from a guy named Shane the next day informing me that he submitted my concerns to people that could help. From there, I waited for a week to hear a solution. Shane then contacted me with a bunch of "specs" defending the Aquagear filter pitcher, and offered to send me another filter. I said yes, and the filter was here the next day...so...in my mind, if the filter worked now as advertised, I would forgive any of this bad experience and waiting and give a 5 star review. The filter worked! It was impeding water, and the free-chlorine tested at ZERO! My family and I were so happy. I had great coffee with this filtered water every morning, and my kids liked it more than bottled water. Almost happily-ever-after. But... it only worked for a week. A filter that boasts a five month life, stopped working after one week after MINIMAL use. No more free-chlorine removal, and the filtered water smells and tastes no different from my tap water. This is not user-error. This is a sub-par non-working product. I e-mailed Shane from Aquagear again to notify him of how adamantly dissatisfied I was...yet it has been 5 days without a response. I am disgusted at this company. AND I WARN EVERYONE, DO NOT BUY THIS THING!!! It doesn't work and they can't make it right, nor do they desire to do so. All that's left for me is to return this filter pitcher and hopefully Amazon will get wise enough to remove this company from their seller's list. A report to the Better Business Bureau is also in the cards. Do not buy!

I have tried several different water pitchers and this one works great. the filter has definitely lasted as they said. I like that I do not have to take the cover off to add water. Would highly recommend. I have not had to reorder a filter it but will pretty soon.
