After a quick review of this chart, it is easy to see which brand is of higher value than the rest.
To sum up, Aquasana water filters offer the highest level of water filtration for the lowest cost compared to other top brands.
My personal experience with their filters has been great. I’ve used both their counter top and under sink water filters. Both were easy to install. Replacing the filter cartridges is also very easy and only takes a few minutes. The filtered water has always tasted great, which is no surprise as the filters also make sure to leave in natural essential minerals.
So if you are looking for the best water filter, rest assured that Aquasana is the one to go with. You can also save 20% by visiting my Aquasana Coupon page.
