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.

We love not having to

"We love not having to buy bottled water anymore and not having to change filter monthly. However I give 4 stars because the tank has been really difficult to get set on the connection tightly and the time it takes to filter seems to have slowed down. We purchased this in July 2026"
