Epic Water Filters Pure Filter Pitchers for Drinking Water, 10 Cup 150 Gallon Filter, Tritan BPA Free, Removes Fluoride, Chlorine, Lead, Forever Chemicals

Pure drinking water for the health of you and your household.
I bought a second Epic Water pitcher for children and grands to use when they came to town for a visit recently. The water where I live is contaminated with a very high level of PFOS, one of the PFAS forever chemicals and our water company is constructing a new plant, to be completed sometime by 2029 just to be able to remove PFOS. Post departure of our younguns I now use both pitchers by Epic and it helps keep up with filtering cooking water, drinking water, and even the water I put out for the critters outside. The water tastes amazing and the EWG (Environmental Working Group) listed Epic Water pitcher as their favorite for value, ease of use, and effectiveness in removing PFOS as well as lead, iron, cadmium, and other contaminants.

Easy to use, great-tasting water, filters fast enough
Good-looking product, easy to clean and assemble before first use. The enclosed filter didn’t include the required, clear silicone gasket which the Mfr promptly solved by sending me a whole new filter! Threw out the first three pitches as recommended. My first taste of the filtered water shocked me with how clean and clear it tastes. I can’t get enough. Surprisingly, I find that this water doesn’t quench my thirst as well as my Pur tap filtered water, but it just makes me drink more. A happy trade-off.The 90-day counter is cute, but as a single man, it’s not super useful because it’s designed for family usage. Some reviewers complained about it being slow, but I just fill it up for later and walk away. It takes about 10 minutes.I also found that it’s best to wait for the filtering to complete before pouring because it’s possible to use it while the hopper is partially filled and end up with some unfiltered water in the glass. I did a little adjusting and seem to have solved that problem. I also imagine it’s possible the weight of the water against the lid could knock the lid off if used early.This is so good, I also got one of their Filtered Water BottlesHighly recommended!

Decent water, problematic pitcher with short-lived filters, might still be better than most
I bought this pitcher after what felt like an excess of research. The TLDR; for those looking for filters in 2023 is that there are only three-ish brands filtering anything all that novel out of the water, meanwhile the big brand names barely remove anything at all and are coasting off of fame alone. This is one of those filters that somewhat uniquely removes fluoride among a bajillion other things while allegedly not pulling out some of the healthy minerals like magnesium.I didn’t test the water (you can find plenty of probably somewhat scientific tests on youtube if interested) but from flavor it tastes very clean, especially after replacing the filter. From flavor and smell alone (which is all that I can test) I would absolutely believe that this filter is doing a great job.So the water seems good, now onto the bad stuff.The pitcher design as many have noted is quite poor. It isn’t unlike many of its competitors in having a mostly flat lid that likes to fall off or LEAK unfiltered water from top reservoir into the bottom reservoir while pouring. It seems utterly idiotic. If I were rating this item in isolation from the rest of the market I would absolutely flunk it and say, hey go back to the drawing board with this pitcher. But given that its competitors all have something similarly stupid, and the few pitchers that are better designed don’t produce water that is particularly good, here we are, stuck with this piece of crap. Is it manageable? Sure you can kinda do this weird two hand pinch thing where you apply pressure to the top and pour it without too much backwash. Sometimes one pours it and it actually works out just fine. It isn’t a total failure, just finnicky and sometimes total trash.And now onto the filter life… it ain’t good. They claim these things last 2-3 months. This is plainly a lie. They last closer to half that, and they’re clearly degrading rapidly as time goes on so I’m not even sure if claiming 6 weeks is fair. I would be very curious to see water quality tests that measure the filter after a few weeks. I’m not using water at some excessive rate, it is pretty much in line with their estimates. As time goes by the water filtration gets slower and slower, and the water tastes less filtered. The top reservoir remains full for longer, which then triggers the problems from the previous paragraph much more frequently (the lid falling off or water leaking from top to bottom). In the end this makes this filtration scheme quite expensive because we’re somewhere in the $320-$500/yr range if we stay diligent with the filters (my estimate based on my current consumption by 2 people, and we don’t even filter the water we use for cooking or tea, just the cold drinking water).Should you get this pitcher? Idk. Is it a scam? Partly, for sure. Is it LESS of a scam than the other filters? Well it does appear to produce quite amazing water for awhile, so there’s that. I would certainly consider it to be more of a scam to pay half as much but not even have good water.

Love it! The water tastes so much better and not chemically. Worth the price!

The replacement filters are expensive and often out of stock, but this is without doubt the best water filter jug I’ve ever had. I now have three, as I’ve had to purchase a new jug when filters are either not available or almost as expensive as a new jug complete with filter.

Para una buena Salud un buen EpicEater👍
