Recommendations and conclusions
Based on the laboratory analysis completed here at Natural News, I can only recommend two water filters in the category of countertop "pitcher" filters. Natural News does not sell any of the water filters tested here, but they are available at retailers like Amazon.com. If you wish to help support our non-profit efforts to conduct more testing, please click this Amazon Smile link before shopping on Amazon.com, and Amazon will donate 0.5% of your purchase price to the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center. The two filters I recommend are: 1) Zero Water 2) Waterman Mini
