How Your Filters Work Together

Every AquaTru filter has one job, and they work together to get your water fully purified.

  • Pre/Carbon Filter: Captures sediment and rust, then reduces chlorine and chloramine for cleaner-tasting water. Replaced every 6-months.
  • Reverse Osmosis Filter: Reduces lead, arsenic, chromium-6, and other heavy metals. Replaced every 1-year.
  • VOC Carbon Filter: Reduces VOCs and "forever chemicals" like PFOA and PFOS. Replaced every 2-years.

"One of the most popular pitcher filters that everybody thinks of is only certified to remove 8 contaminants. AquaTru is certified to remove 84. There’s really no comparison."

I enjoy ur product but

"I enjoy ur product but am having difficulty with it. Ive had this for under a year, replaced both all 3 filters 3 times and done 2 cleanings with the kit. With these new filters it is still taking a very long time to fill. Any help would be appreciated"

Filters for carafe

"I am still using the filters that came with my carafe purchase. I can say these filters are great but I do have a suggestion for the unit itself. It would be nice to see a display by percentage of how much bad pollutants were removed after filtration. Right now we can see test results or read about test/lab results but to see them on our filtration system would be huge. Ty"

Mineral boosting filter

"When I first installed this filter my water had a fishy taste but after a month or so, the taste went away. Now I'm a fan!"

Donna E. (5/5)

"Lasts half the time as advertised and we have fairly good tap water we’re filtering through it. Customer service did nothing but explain how filters work over and over again. Buy abitter system if you value good customer service."

I honestly cannot say enough

"I honestly cannot say enough good about the AquaTru Carafe that I purchased a few months ago. The water at my house was already pleasant tasting, but I was concerned about what pollutants could also be lurking in it. Not thinking the taste would be improved much I can honestly say that the taste is even more amazing! I probably drink more water now than I ever have simply because my body actually craves it. I prefer it to any other beverage now hands down. I am continually keeping my copper pitcher in the refrigerator stocked with fresh water and loading up on ice cubes keeping that bin fully stocked as well. The water is unbelievable! I wish I had purchased this unit when I lived in Florida because the tap water where I lived was undrinkable. I had 4 huge 5 gallon bottles that I would fill often from a stand-alone reverse osmosis station. That water was drinkable, but my new AquaTru carafe even puts that to shame. I will never go back to drinking any plain old tap water again."

Question. What can be done
