Expanding beyond under-sink systems

Countertop and pitcher coverage should solve different jobs.

Countertop reverse osmosis

No permanent plumbing changes

Countertop systems trade under-sink installation for source-tank refilling, counter space, and a smaller clean-water reservoir. Start with our existing AquaTru research while we evaluate additional countertop models.

Water filter pitchers

Simple format, narrower treatment goals

Pitchers should be compared by certified claims, filter life, pour speed, reservoir design, replacement availability, and the complete cost per year. We will only add named pitcher pages after confirming current stock and genuine buyer value.
