That's a great question. While for some customers, we highly recommend the sediment filter based on their water source, it will never hurt to have one!. If you're not sure whether or not you need one, here are some things to consider. If you live in
While they do remove a lot of the same contaminants, they don't remove all the same ones. There are a few main differences. For instance, the Smart Shield filter removes E. coli and other bacteria whereas our Pure filter will not. Our Smart Shield fi

Our filters are designed to keep trace minerals in. While they may reduce some of the trace minerals present in your water, they are not designed to remove them. So if your water needs some softening, we recommend using a water softener along with ou

If you won't be using your filter for more than a few days, we recommend storing it while you're out and about. You can take the filter out of its bottle or pitcher, and then we recommend letting it dry out for a few hours on either a paper towel or
All our filters have a slower flow than most competitors because our filters remove a much larger range of contaminants. Clean water is worth the wait!. A normal range for new filters is 1-2 hours. Once you've used your filter, it will get faster and
Great question...we've gone back and forth on this topic here in the office. It's really hard to determine this number because water quality plays such a huge role. Our filters have a really small micron size. So, the filter will typically either slo
It is not recommended to run hot water through the filter as it leaves it vulnerable to damage. We suggest filtering the water first, then boiling.
Our filters are made from pyrolyzed activated coconut carbon (a step up from charcoal). You can learn more details about the carbon filters here.
So, shallow wells tend to breed bacteria. If that's the case, you would need our Outdoor Filter which is only available in some of our bottles. If you want to filter out more water at once, you can also try our Epic Nano Pitcher. That works well with
The recent popularity of inexpensive and portable TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) meters have now made testing tap water fairly common practice. However, these devices really don’t tell the whole story. Most people are led to believe that high TDS readi
We utilize an activated carbon filter. By itself, carbon is a highly absorbent material that can absorb thousands of different chemicals. Activated carbon is carbon with a slightly positive charge to it, which makes it even more absorbent to chemical
You can pull off the top bit of the filter and remove the filtration media. If you can't do this, it will decompose over time. Otherwise, take the plastic shell of the filter and that can be recycled with "hard to recycle" plastics, or you can send u

Our filters are not designed to filter salt water. These filters are packed super tight, which is how they're able to remove up to 99.99% of all tap water contaminants. So, the salt would simply clog the filter rather quickly.
Only the EPIC Water Outdoor Filter and our EPIC Nano Pitcher Filter are designed to be used with potentially microbiologically hazardous water sources. Our fridge filter also removes bacteria, viruses, and cysts in addition to other contaminants. Sti
Many times, the filter will typically either slow down or completely clog once it's reached the end of it's life. That being said, a new filter will always work better than an old one. So, we recommend replacing it every 3-4 months depending on how m
Our bottle filters are proudly made in the USA!. Our other filters are made overseas in FDA compliant factories.
The filter works like a magnet to draw in and trap contaminants as they pass through the straw, leaving only clean, fresh water. Our filters are made out of activated carbon and a unique formulation of ion exchange materials that provide the greatest
There is no testing for water filters to show that they actually remove microplastics, but any filter that is 2 microns or smaller will remove all microplastics. All of our filters including our bottle filters are less than 2 microns in size so they
