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."

This was RENEWAL of FILTERS

The Best I have ever drank

"As a full time RV'er, I work in West Texas. It's the oilfield and as most know, poisonous chemicals are shot into the ground as part of the oil extraction process and so these effect the groundwater quality. As such, I ONLY drank bottled water, Aquafina to be exact. I needed a better system because I did not feel good about all of the plastic I was adding to the landfills with all of those Aquafina bottles. So I conducted lengthy research into water filter systems and reverse osmosis systems. I wanted the best system, one that filtered the most bad stuff out of the ground water. I know I got the best system with AquaTru. I even conducted my own blind taste test of AquaTru vs. Aquafina and AquaTru won, 5 times out of 5! No, it's not cheap, and I bought extra filters to last at least a year, but it is an investment into my health and the health of my pet too. Highly recommend."

Love aquatru!

"Great filter - water tastes great! I've been using aquatru for the past 4 years and live in area where the tap water is not good for drinking. Aquatru's filters made me feel safe! Great customer service as well!"

Tricia C. (5/5)

Initially 5 stars. But now

"Initially 5 stars. But now 4 because I’m seeing that after some time, the plastic is discoloring and the spigot is hard to clean."

Jordena B. (4/5)

This reverse osmosis filter is

"This reverse osmosis filter is the main reason I like the AquaTru system. It gives me peace of mind knowing the water is being filtered more deeply than a basic pitcher or fridge filter. The water tastes very clean, with no strange aftertaste. I also like that the filter lasts a good amount of time, so it doesn’t feel like I’m constantly replacing it. Changing it was easy, and everything worked normally right away after replacing it. Overall, this is an important filter and one I’m happy to keep using."
