Frequently Asked Questions
What should I look for when buying non-toxic water filtration?
1. What contaminants removed 2. NSF certification 3. Maintenance needs
What ingredients should I avoid in water filtration?
Unverified claims, no NSF certification, alkaline water marketing
How do I care for non-toxic water filtration?
Replace filters on schedule — an old filter can harbor bacteria and re-release contaminants. Check your local water report at EWG's Tap Water Database to know what you need to filter. RO systems waste water but provide the most thorough filtration. Gravity filters (Berkey) need no plumbing.
What greenwashing should I watch for with water filtration?
"Alkaline water" has no proven health benefits and is mostly marketing. "Filtered" water bottles with basic carbon filters only remove chlorine taste, not contaminants. Always check which NSF standard a filter is certified to — NSF 42 (taste) is very different from NSF 53 (health contaminants).
