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 love my purchase. I would not be drinking the water from the faucet and grateful there is a product on the market I can trust. The only thing I could not accomplish is get rid of the “change” warning after I replaced my filters. I would appreciate instruction how to make it happen."

I love my carbon filter

"I love my carbon filter for the drinking water in my home. It gives me peace to know that the water I'm drinking is safe for me and my family. That's a small price to pay in my opinion!"

Love it - user friendly

"Love it - user friendly - easy to change filters - gives me confidence I am drinking good water - Gotta say though, that with all the proven science about the dangers of plastics shredding from plastic water tanks (regardless of vulnerable EPA rating) I am currentlly actively searching for systems that do not have plastic water tanks,"

Doug M. (5/5)

"I am very disappointed with my recent AquaTru filter purchase. The new VOC Carbon filter appears to be defective. When I remove it from the machine and shake it gently, it makes a rattling noise as if something is broken inside. After installing this new filter, my AquaTru stopped filtering water correctly. Now, every time I try to start a filtration cycle, the machine shuts off by itself and does not filter any water. I followed the installation instructions, reset the machine, and tried troubleshooting, but the problem continues. Everything was working before I installed this new VOC Carbon filter. I hope AquaTru will replace the defective filter and help resolve this issue as soon as possible."
