Comparison Chart
These are some of the leading brands or at least the better known brands on the market.
Some things to look at is cost per gallon, compare what they remove and percentage, and of course cost.
But if you look close, the brands that do the least cost the most in the long run.
Over all you can see why Multi-Pure received the "Best Buy" award from Consumers Digest.
We do as good as or better than everyone else and our figures come from NSF certification.

I find it interesting that the filter that does the least,
costs the most over a years time and per gallon.
