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 2-years.
  • VOC Carbon Filter: Reduces VOCs and "forever chemicals" like PFOA and PFOS. Replaced every 1-year.

"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."

Cannot rate the system we

"Cannot rate the system we purchased because we have yet to find a company to make the joke in our quartz countertop. The manufacturer of our countertop does not do the work. Calls to over 15 manufacturers have turned fruitless. Most do not do work in home or we are too far out of their service areas. So it sits in a box."

I enjoy my Classic AquaTru

"I enjoy my Classic AquaTru water filter. I originally ordered the mineralized filter, but after 6 months, I realized I'm getting too much electrolytes. I do drink a lot of water. However, I also found out I can switch the mineralized filter with the Classis Pre/Carbon filter, making the water at a PH level of 7. Now I can enjoy all the water I want without worrying about getting too many electrolytes. Thank you, AquaTru."
