Why Water Filters Matter More Than People Realize
Water is one of the most consistent exposures in daily life. It shows up in coffee, tea, smoothies, soups, rice, ice, and even the water used to rinse produce.
Most people choose a filter based on convenience or branding. What actually matters is whether the filter can meaningfully reduce contaminants that are most relevant to long-term health.
A good filter should do three things well:
Reduce high-impact contaminants (lead, PFAS, disinfection byproducts, pesticides)
Maintain performance over time (real capacity, not marketing claims)
Fit your lifestyle so you will actually use it daily
This breakdown is designed to help readers choose the right filter without getting lost in specs.
