CLEAR FILTER #1 FILTER WATER PITCHER / IMPROVED MODEL / 365+ contaminants (e.g. fluoride, chlorine, PFAs, microplastic, lead arsenic BPA/BPS-free (pitcher comes with 1 filter)

I noticed a difference in the taste and seems to be some of the best filtering possible that still leaves the good minerals.

Finally I can drink water that feels good and clean to have!! Got this as it takes out the fluoride, not many do. So far so good!! Not cheap but worth it I hope!

Efficient filter

This is the first water pitcher filter I've had, but I think it's great. I no longer need to buy the numerous 3 L bottles of spring water I've been getting for decades, lugging them from the supermarket every week. Also, I don't have to worry about microplastics in bottled water. This water pitcher filter usually gets the best reviews of comparisons with other water filter pitchers, removing more harmful contaminants overall than the others, including fluoride, which I am particularly concerned about because I don't want to drink it, and my city, as is the case with about 80% the municipalities in the country, fluoridates their water. I sent out a sample of water filtered with my Clearly Filtered Water Pitcher specifically for a fluoride test, as several reviews that tested it said it had no detectable fluoride, but a couple others found some--in one test it only removed 33% of the fluoride and in another it actually actually increased the fluoride something like 160% over the unfiltered water, but those results were probably false readings because of the testing methods used. My results came back with no detectable fluoride, and my city, according to the testing company's data, fluoridates the water to 0.71 PPM at the water facility, and at the tap it is 0.5 PPM. I don't know of any other water filter pitcher that effectively removes fluoride like this one, except one that is said to add aluminum. The filters for this are claimed to last about twice as long as other brands, lastng about three months if the picture is filled every day. I've used the filter about two months now, although only filling the pitcher about every other day (in which case it should last six months), as I mainly use it for coffee, and although the filtration has slowed from when I first got it it's not too bad--it seems to slow more in the bottom third of water left in the reservoir. The filtered water tastes fresh and free of the taste or chlorine by-products you often get from tap water, and works very well with coffee. Because I use it for coffee, I keep the pitcher unrefrigerated on the kitchen counter, shaded from the spotlights by being stored under the shadow of cabinets and a microwave oven. I think the Clearly Filtered Water Picture it is well-made and designed, but be sure you are getting one with the newly modified reservoir that came out about a month ago, which Clearly Filtered accommodatingly sent me free as a replacement, which has two vertical ribs on the front of the reservoir to take up the space between it and the body of the pitcher; the ribs prevent the bottom of the reservoir from swiveling forward in front and raising up about a quarter of an inch above the top edge when pouring. The only downside is it makes the reservoir harder to remove, as I was afraid to pull too hard on the attached front half of the lid. As opposed to some other comments I've read, I do have confidence in the strength of the handle attachment to support the full weight of the pitcher when full. Within the last year, they redesigned the priming bag, which is now clear instead of blue, to be easier and more effective to use, and I had no problem with it. (When I first tried to remove the priming bag, for several minutes I ridiculously tried to unscrew the top rim of the filter, which is permanently attached, instead of the primer bag itself, which screws on and off easily.) The company customer service through Amazon messaging is very responsive, and as I mentioned, they sent me the improved replacement reservoir for free when it was available.

This is a good quality water filter whic actually looks good on the kitchen counter too. I like the taste of the water and very happy with my purchase.
