Clearly Filtered Water Pitcher Review - Is It Really the BEST Filter?!
I'm moving from my Zerowater to a waterdrop that is similar to the WFD-22L. I notice that there is an upgrade version for this dispenser filter that is certified 53, 42 and 372. Is the upgraded filter the same one used for testing? If not can you test to see if the increased price for the upgraded filter is even worth it?
Based on your video, it worked out perfectly for me since i was planning to move away from Zerowater very expensive filters unless its black friday and you buy the 12 pack. I went with the waterdrop system and as i was checking out it shows that the filters have been updated to certified 53, 42 and 372. Can you provide your toughts as its a more expensive filter and if its even worth the increase price to upgrade filter?
Great video! I hope others find this. I went with Bluevua because too many reviews reported aquatru leaking.
Refilling from the back is EASY! Just place a strip of felt under machine and it slides around easy!
This is my first filtered water bottle and I was confused as how to assemble, how it worked - I know 🤪. Your explanation was awesome! So glad I found you! Thank you!
What are your thoughts on sanitizing the system prior to drinking, tank & tankless? Thanks great video
Hello, do you recommend the Waterdrop G3P600?
Thank you for such a thorough real life comparison! Hard to find anything that on the internet that does it!
Wondering about the G2 varieties? They’re so similar, hoping that means mine is safe? 😭🫶
Get water distiller for £50-80 with glass jar. By far the best way to remove everything bad from the water. Add a pinch of sea salt or Himalayan salt before drinking.
Great video. Do you happen to know of any portable/travel RO systems that are made in USA?
Is PFAS tested for in lab tests? How did this perform? What’s the latest understanding of how many different types of forever chemicals are in our water? I know Teflon and durable water repellent are rampant in our water systems and don’t break down (hence being a forever chemical). This stuff fascinates and terrifies me. Thanks for your hard work!!
So refreshing to see evidence based testing on water filters. For the discerning consumer who won’t just take the manufacturer’s word for it on filter safety data.
I’ve been seeing people saying the water drop has cancer causing chemicals/disinfectants in them, is that true?
Great video! Have you tested the LifeSource Water system? We want a saltless system We are thinking of getting the Springwell and having it install or checking out the LifeSource system. We live in Southern California and have really hard water.
We have been using the older model - Waterdrop G3P400 for almost 5 years. We just came across this video and now concerned the same thing was happening with this older unit, and hence discontinued. I reached out to Waterdrop, but they do not give any clear answers, but only that they upgraded the G3 systems years ago and they don't have any information on the older models. Is there anywhere I can find information or test results for the older G3P400 units?
This is by far the most complete RO system review I've found. THANK YOU for doing the leg work!
I'm looking at getting the AquaTru Carafe Alkaline - the one with the Alkaline Mineral Boost VOC Filter. What are your thoughts on the Mineral Boost Filter? Versus maybe adding mineral drops to add the minerals back in? Thanks!
Very good info! I just subscribed. 😊
I'm curious if there is a Berkey filter owners/users class action suite for the damage the EPA has done to the wallets of anyone trying to purchase or replace their Berkey filter elements?
Alright well moving on from waterdrop
I hate to break it to you but recent studies show that micropalastics has been founded in the Antarctica more than a mile down in the ice. Even in distilled water has been found with micropalastics in it. So currently there is no filters that are currently available can ensure 100% chemical free water.
Thanks for the input. I still think there's a difference between a water filter not removing a chemical and a water filter adding one at a concerning amount.
The video that I was looking for! Appreciate the efforts!
You're welcome!
Can you please test/review Bevilt 100GDP Countertop Reverse 100GPD Countertop Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System? Also what company do you use to test the water?
We use ETR Labs. I've never heard of Bevilt before but we'll check it out. Thank you for suggesting!
Glad that I saw this video. Thank you!
Tap water only
I'm thinking of getting the 600 or the 800. You guys have a comparison video of both? Is the 800 worth the extra price?
We haven't tested the G3P800 yet. The main difference is the ~33% faster faucet flow.
Hi,Which filter media in aquasana leeched methylene chloride do you think is it catalytic carbon or activted carbon? And how the floride increased due to the testing method can you clear it abit more because i always thought activted carbon can't leech chemicals as well as can't increase floride
Please remember that we didn't repeat the lab testing so maybe the methylene chloride didn't even come from the Aquasana CWM. But if it did, it's impossible for us to determine where it came from - doesn't even need to be the filter media. As for the increase in fluoride, we think this is just due to uneven contaminant distribution or maybe it has to do with the testing method. In other words, we highly doubt that the Aquasana CWM added any fluoride into our water.
Could the floruide increase because this system is not RO system, so it mostly filtered other continments but not floruide, and that's why floruide popped up among the other continments Is it even logical to think like that
All meant for tap water ...not for off grid
Yes!
Why is the AquaTru no longer showing up on the NSF website?
The system is certified against NSF standards by the IAPMO, so you need to check here: pld.iapmo.org/
Paid promotion by which manufacturers?
In order to lower our costs, we had reached out to all of the companies asking to send us the specific RO model we wanted to review for free. Most agreed and so we added a sponsored tag. But we didn't receive any direct payment.
Are there cancer causing chemicals in the Waterdrop G3P600?
We couldn't find any chemical leaching in our testing.
I need a unit. Max budget is about $300. I have space under my sink. Can anyone PLEASE recommend a good and safe unit? What about minerals? I need them.
You might find something in our under sink RO comparison video: ruclips.net/video/2lVPi2g0VGI/видео.html&lc=UgzC6gOLqaR3pavDyz54AaABAg
I am concerned about soaking my water in big plastic buckets. Why are they not metal or ceramic? Plastic leaches into our water. Each filter, tanks, hoses- mostly all plastic. ADVICE PLEASE WHAT UNIT CAN ANYONE PLEASE RECOMMEND? WHAT ABOUT SPRING WATER? I HEARD STRIPPING MINERALS OUT OF WATER IS ALSO NO GOOD.
I think you will have a hard time finding a water filter that's all metal/glass. I don't know of a single one. Your best chance is probably a water distiller, but then your water will lack any minerals, so you'd have to get a good mineral blend.
@@boswater6065 Thanks. Just don't like the look of my water sitting in 5-6 stages of big, industrial looking plastic vessels under pressure and using cheap looking, chemical laden plastic tubes. I am not surprised they are leaching into the final product. Let me as you this? Which specific product is under your sink today?
I'm using the Clearly Filtered under sink system.
@@boswater6065 Thanks but wow- $500 for three filters? Seems a rip off. No tank. No motor. Made of polypropylene. That is also scary. It looks like it's just a carbon filter. No way it is as effective as a real complete RO system. Why did you go with that one?
I prefer the inline design. We haven't tested this one yet, but it's not just a carbon filter and uses several filter media. But you are right, it's very expensive. Maybe I'll switch to something else once we've tested a bunch of inline under sink filters!
Brita instructions state to discard the first 3 fills. Did you do this prior to testing?
Yes!
I ordered the WaterDrop A1 yesterday, after my purchase I watched your video. I’m very concerned that the company has claimed to have resolved the issue, yet failed to recall affected products. Does this mean they’ve ignored the problem?
If you ordered a new unit I think you should have received the updated version (maybe confirm with Waterdrop?). As for recalling the affected products, that's a good point that I haven't considered to be honest. I think the question would be for how long the chemical leaching persists and where it originates from (like the RO membrane that could easily be replaced).
Why there are no Philips RO systems in any of the lists :)? For example something like: ADD6920BK/10 ? Are Philips RO's so bad that there's no point in testing?
No, it's just that our budget is limited. But someone else also asked about Philips RO systems, so they're on our list!
@@boswater6065 ok, that's a valid point :) I'm really into buying this Philips product or Waterdrop A1 because it's just available where I live. I think I will be waiting for a test of Philips (hopefully not for too long :) )
Just know that we won't review more RO systems anytime soon, because we've reviewed 21 units already and so we want to focus on other types of water filters first. Also, our list of water filters including RO systems that people have asked us to review is pretty long by now, so I can't promise that we will include a Philips RO in the next round of testing - we will prioritize the systems with the highest demand.

no test of the Philips water filters???? PHILIPS GoZero Next-gen Instant Water Filter Pitcher
This has to be one of the best product comparison reviews I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much for this! Just purchased the Waterdrop G3B600BS with your code.
I got horrible sick when we got new OS my arm start hurting headache after 2 day using home filter RO .
I'd love to see Aquaphor water filter test results. Thank you!
Added to our list, thanks!
Have you ever tested the Seychelle water pitcher?
No, but it's on our list!
Hey thanks!, I actually am interested in comparing the different types of filters (RO, countertop, pitcher,… which is best at filtering over all these categories + other things to think about). I also wonder if these RO or gravity systems might be less impacted by bacterial build-up compared to something like a carbon filter (which is replaced as guided but will still build up bacteria and lead to more contaminated water in that regard than regular tap). Although very big countertop systems which hold still water for a long period also have this problem, especially as many people won’t clean it (enough) and biofilm formation.
We will compare all the different filter types eventually! As for biofilm formation, like you said this really depends on how you're using a water filter, and I'd think water conditions also play their part so it's harder to test.
I have a waterdrop A1 countertop filter. How do I know if it is the old version or the updated version?
That's a good question. I'd probably reach out to Waterdrop about this.
@@boswater6065 it would be helpful if you added dates to your video. I could figure it out myself based on my purchase date, but you don't provide any dates in your video. When was your video made? On what date did Waterdrop recall the A1? Make sense?
That does make sense. I don't have an exact date, but at the beginning of April Waterdrop told us that they had withdrawn the product from all channels as a reaction to our video which was published on Mar 1, 2024.
@@boswater6065 thanks for your help!!
April 2024, right?
Why do the AquaTru Classic and AquaTru Carafe reverse osmosis machines have such awful ratings on Amazon? Especially in the more recent reviews, if you examine them systematically. A large number of very bad, credible seeming negative reviews show up on other websites, too. Especially recounting customers' more recent experiences with the machines malfunctioning (many premature failures) and dealings with customer service. I don't ask this with any malice toward the company. More like dismay. What happened to AquaTru? It's frustrating to read of how great the lab results are here, only to read elsewhere of how poorly their machines are built.
Sorry but I have no idea why your comment didn't show up in our feed/backend of RUclips - thus the late reply. Anyway, yes, apparently some people have problems with malfunctioning systems which is why we've mentioned it in the video. Totally understand your frustration about the great lab results vs the aforementioned issues.
I bough a house and it came with one and I don’t know how and what to do
Could you ask the previous owner for specifics, like which model you have and how old it is?
Could you please test the Echo Viva mate4 Reverse Osmosis System? Also the Pro 1 gravity filter, thanks
I've added the MATE4 to our list, but the ProOne gravity filter was part of this video and our top 7 gravity water filter comparison.
@boswater6065 Thank you
Just made the G3P600 purchase through your link & code. Thank you for the helpful review!
Wow, what a well-put-together informative video. Nobody even comes close to this level of quality analysis, so thank you very much for everyone’s time that was put into making this happen. Not to mention it’s beautifully presented by a drop-dead gorgeous person! I wish you guys would discuss/test countertop distillers. I was too concerned with contaminants, so I ended up going with a distiller instead of RO, plus it wastes next to no water (only energy lol). I went with the Megahome MH943SBS (had it for a little over 6 months now, and it seems to work great), but right after I got it, I saw the Waterwise 4000, and I wished I had gotten that one instead. It has a higher-grade stainless steel (316 instead of 304) and it comes with a borosilicate glass container instead of regular glass. I’m not positive, but it looks like the way it incorporates the activated carbon filter is better. With the Megahome, I quickly learned that AC is really needed with these distillers because the VOCs (which make it taste/smell bad) come out into the water. I ended up putting 2 of the AC packets instead of 1, and the bad smell/taste immediately went away. I learned that distilled water is “aggressive,” so it slowly absorbs whatever it’s stored in. So because of that, I also had to buy a glass storage reservoir with a stainless steel spicket, which was so hard to find because most glass containers have some form of plastic in the spicket. I can’t help but wonder if the Megahome/Waterwise are equally as effective though, and your team seems the best equipped to handle that question. Again, thanks for all your work.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're definitely planning on doing a comparison of water distillers in future. But I can't make any promises for when we'll publish such a video.
Metals: what about LEAD???
The test kits we use also cover lead, but so far we haven't found any lead in our water so we couldn't calculate any reduction rates for it.
