Epic Water Filters Pure Filter Pitchers for Drinking Water, 10 Cup 150 Gallon Filter, Tritan BPA Free, Removes Fluoride, Chlorine, Lead, Forever Chemicals

Worth every penny. This is the best water filter I have ever used and it gives me so much confidence knowing everything it removes from the water. The water tastes amazing. The spout does not leak when you pour. Very easy to use and holds lots of water

I bought a second Epic Water pitcher for children and grands to use when they came to town for a visit recently. The water where I live is contaminated with a very high level of PFOS, one of the PFAS forever chemicals and our water company is constructing a new plant, to be completed sometime by 2029 just to be able to remove PFOS. Post departure of our younguns I now use both pitchers by Epic and it helps keep up with filtering cooking water, drinking water, and even the water I put out for the critters outside. The water tastes amazing and the EWG (Environmental Working Group) listed Epic Water pitcher as their favorite for value, ease of use, and effectiveness in removing PFOS as well as lead, iron, cadmium, and other contaminants.

Simple set up and I love the change in the taste of my water.

This pitcher has multiple problems.1. The top does is not held in place securely. If you do not hold in on while you pour, it will come off and flood the area.2. The description headline calls this a 10 cup - 80 ounce - pitcher. In fact, if you add over 16 ounces, all of the water over that amount stays in the chamber above the filter. Unfiltered water to flows over the filter chamber and into your cup first. The filtered water remains in the bottom chamber.3 The least expensive filter sold sold by Epic is $15, but to get that price you need to buy multiples. If you expect to filter out fluoride, bacteria, virus, cyst, lead, chromium 6, PFOS, PFOA, heavy metals, OR pesticides be prepared to spend $54 for a single filter.4. The timer that tell you when to replace the filter is a simple countdown timer. It has nothing to do with the volume of water passed through the filter. This means that a household of one (mine) will get a replace filter warning just as soon as a household of four, or ten, or twenty. It makes no difference.This is complete garbage. Mine hit the recycling bin yesterday. The top came off and flooded my kitchen for the last time.

Just received Epic Pure Water Pitcher and these are first few impressions.What I like... Local municipal water definitely tastes better. If all goes well then Epic Pure Water Pitcher is good bang for the buck.What I don't like... Even after allowing upper section with unfiltered water to completely empty and stand for a while, when pouring filtered water out through spout, unfiltered water that was trapped inside filter will escape out spout and mix with filtered water. You can not fully empty filtered water without this happening. Not ideal design but somewhat manageable.Product listing says "10 cups." Not sure what this refers to? One cup is 8 oz. x 10 cups = 80 oz. Filtered water chamber is barely 8 cups.Bottom line is that you can have good tasting water at affordable price if you can manage a few drawbacks.

The water tastes much better than our previous filters! Lid is a little fickle and pops off easily, however its probably just a learning curve and worth it still! I havent done a water test but it should be better than just plain tap water!

A nice water filter with some serious design flaws. These are just a few of them.The filter works by gravity, and is painfully slow. You thread a filter on the bottom of the inner plastic water tank and it dribbles water out the bottom. Once the bottom of the filter is submerged in water you cannot see if it is running or not. Since it is gravity fed not all the water will go through the filter.There is always some unfiltered water remaining inside and above the filter. When you pour water out of the pitcher whatever unfiltered water is left inside and above the filter pours into your glass too. With the top of the inner tank wide open when you tip the pitcher over unfiltered water is free to pour in with your filtered water, and since the water and plastic look the same it is nearly impossible to see that you are drinking unfiltered water too.If you pour too much water into the inner container it overflows freely into the bottom and mixes with the filtered water, since the lid is dark blue plastic you cannot readily see the inner tank water level so its easy to overfill it and mix filtered and unfiltered water.You cannot tip the pitcher over far enough to pour out all the filtered water. Since the filter retains unfiltered water every time you lean the pitcher over some raw water comes out of the filter and into the inner container and mixes as you pour.About the most water you should put in the upper/inner container is two 12-ounce glasses, then go find something else to do for about 60 minutes while it slowly filters the water.You cannot pour in water then after a few minutes pour yourself a glass of water because the unfiltered water is free to flow out the pitcher spout along with the filtered water.The directions say the filter cartridges do not remove all the minerals because they are good for you. But if I am buying this to filter city water I want it to function as a filter and not as a partial filter. Yes, minerals can be good for us but they are also plentiful in the foods we eat so we don't really need it in our drinking water too. What I want from a filter is honest filtration, not something that tries to increase my magnesium and sodium intake because of their personal beliefs. Either be a filter or don't but don't try to be a nutritionist too, when you're not.If they decided to not filter magnesium and I have a diet rich in magnesium I don't need someone who knows nothing about my diet to decide I need more.After several days of use I have buyers remorse that I purchased this filter.
