HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT FILTER
What Filter Should I Get?
If you are on WELL WATER, please get your water tested by a water test lab. A web search will help you find one in your region. Send us the results at support@friendsofwater.com and we'll recommend the right filter for you.
If you are on MUNICIPAL WATER, there are two questions you need answered to select the best water filter.
1. Is your water fluoridated?
2. We know there is chlorine in your water. Do they also add ammonia changing the chlorine to chloramines?
We know otherwise what is tested for and allowed at what levels in all municipalities. And we know what is not tested for. ALL OUR KITCHEN CANISTERS FILTER THE OTHER CATEGORIES OF CONTAMINANTS: heavy metals, chemically-based, organic-based, (drugs are one or the other) odor and taste.
Below are for kitchen filters. See the Whole House Filter section for those.
More of the right filter material means more filtration. More canisters means more filter material. So if you want extra protection, get a 3-canister unit.
To see other options, just look in that section of the online store.

If you have an additional concern: you can select, for example, a filter with a sediment filter cartridge, a radiation filter cartridge, select a chrome finish for your countertop, etc.
There are also other options, like long-lasting undercounter filters without cartridges. But those listed above are the common solutions for most people.
