This system is for regular municipal (not well) tap water. Check out the EWG.org tap water database to see which contaminants are in your local tap water and then make sure your filter removes them if that’s important to you. I couldn’t find an under sink filter that removed all of my city’s chlorination by-product chemicals that are linked to cancer, so I opted for this large Epic water filter container instead. Epic filters have cutting-edge technology that filters contaminants that other filters don’t (such as PFAS, microplastics and chlorine byproducts).

February 17 – March 16, 2025 DYT is participating in a sponsored PFAS awareness campaign with Epic Water Filters and they will pay me a commission for each Epic Water filter pitcher that you purchase through my affiliate links. I chose Epic Water to keep my family healthy in August 2023 after assessing my city’s drinking water contaminants and filtration needs.
