Having clean water is something everyone can agree on. So today I will compare some low cost options for water filters. I’m sure we all are aware of the brand Brita since they are something many college students use in dorms. However, there are also other brands that not as many people are aware of. In this post, I will be comparing Brita with PUR and Waterdrop.
Brita Large 10 Cup Everyday Water Pitcher with Filter:
Price: $26.99
Capacity: 10 cups
Filter Life: 40 gallons (roughly two months)
SA: 8/10
Great product for a very decent price. Would recommend for college students living in dorms since it is small and light weight (about 3 pounds w/o water) Great for individual use and lasts quite awhile. For the price, it is a pretty good buy for anyone who is looking to have cleaner water. Also helps filter our distinct tastes from hard water which is great for making coffee.
Waterdrop Extream Long-Lasting 10-Cup Water Filter Pitcher with Wooden Handle:
Price: $23.99
Capacity: 10 cups
Filter Life: 200 gallons (roughly 3 – 5 months depending on household size)
SA: 10/10
Top of the line product. Probably the best filter you can buy for this price. At $23.99 and long filter life, this product will definitely help you save money short and long term compared to similar priced products. It’s filtration system also helps the water filter out faster so not too much time is spent waiting for clean water. Perfect for families and its relative small size makes it easy to pour and carry. Highly recommended for everyone.
PUR 18 Cup Water Filtration Dispenser:
Price: $26.87
Capacity: 18 cups
Filter Life: 40 gallons (roughly 2 months)
SA: 8/10
Great product with larger than capacity than most water filters in this price range. Great for families and large households. Will reduce the amount of times needed to refill. However, due to its larger capacity, it is not as portable as its counterparts. Mostly stationary and user must move to location rather than bring it with them. Same amount of filter life as Brita but does not require to pick up to pour. Instead it has a handle that allows it for easier pour.
Recommendation: I highly recommend the Waterdrop Extream water filter due to its price and filter life. It is outstanding in all the necessary departments such as filter speed, portability, price and filter life. This product is great for any living space and arrangement. Regardless if your are a college student needing a filter for a dorm or a parent that wants quick clean water for your children, this product will satisfy those needs. However, get the PUR if you are someone who prefers ease of pour since this has a stout making it the easiest pour out of these 3 products.
