Some Great Benefits of Using Countertop Filters
What are countertop filters? They are simple easy to use water filtration devices that sit on top of your countertop. The benefits are easy to use and lot cost to purchase. The negative is that most countertop filters are the pitcher types which by nature of their design are very efficient at taking out most of the contaminants from you water. Typical of this type of filter is Britta. Initially the upfront cost is low but the ongoing price is high. Typically water runs about 40 cents or more per gallon with these filters.
We did a little more research and found that the Aqusana Countertop filters were a much better buy. Not only were they a better filter, they cost less to run. They have been a Consumer Digest “Best Buy” for many years and also have a Underwriters Laboratories seal of approval. Their ongoing cost per gallon of water is less than 10 cents a gallon. We got ours through Better Water Store that not only included a great discount, they offer free UPS ground shipping so we got ours in just a few days. Installation was simple and we were up and running in a few minutes.
