It almost seems like every household appliance company these days are manufacturing and selling water filters, the question is, do they all really work?Well it all depends on what you ideally want your water filter to do? If your looking for something to just remove sediment or bad taste (chlorine), then yes most of these filters will get the job done. However, if your looking for something to remove heavy metals (lead, rust etc), bacteria, Volatile Organic Chemicals and literally hundreds of other contaminants - then no these filters will not get the job done.

Such water filters include the plastic pitchers you see available in most supermarkets, the water filters you see in gyms, sports centres and gymnasiums. Water filters are a specialty product at the end of the day, and not your usual consumer product to be manufactured and sold to the masses - which most of these large multinationals are doing. The problem being, when large companies look at cutting costs and boosting profits they usually cut the expensive elements to a water filter that really remove the most harmful contaminants.

When looking for a water filter make sure that you are dealing with a company that solely is in the business of manufacturing water filters and has done so for many years. That way you know what your spending your hard earned money on something of value.
