Epic 純水フィルターピッチャー | 100%BPAフリー | フッ化物 鉛 クロム6 PFOS PFOA 重金属 微生物 農薬 化学物質 産業汚染物質などを除去 | 3.5L EW-WFP TAPB

We have been using it for some time now, I just installed a replacement filter. We live in an area with really hard water and this filter made a huge difference. There is no residue in the kettle after boiling the filtered water, and it tastes great. The filter kind of stopped working after 75 days instead of the recommended 90- the water was going through too slowly, but like I said, our water is has a high mineral content so I expected that.

My priority is to eliminate fluoride as well as chlorine and many other nasties, so Brita and other cheap filters are off the list. I first bought Fill2Pure from Amazon which ticked all the boxes nicely, but no sooner had I bought it, the replacement filters became unavailable in the UK. Then I moved on to ZeroWater which I didn’t like on many levels. Water tasted strangely flat, filters didn’t last long and you are advised to test water every couple of days (with a device that was faulty on mine) - big effort in any event, and ZeroWater weren’t overly helpful sorting the issue out. Filters were expensive and short lived - the water tastes of rotten fish after a few weeks. Also I didn’t like the fact that it removes many essential minerals from the water that are beneficial and not harmful. So I just bought the Epic Pure Water Filter jug and it seems the best yet by far. Water tastes great, easy to fill - just have to open little opening on top, not remove whole lid, pours well and takes moments (not hours as some reviews suggest) for water to filter through and (apparently and hopefully) removes fluoride, chlorine and numerous other vileness that Brita and other cheapies can’t, but not the good health enhancing minerals. I understand this will mean your kettle still scales up, but a small price to pay, and not the main issue for me personally. If you’re going to filter your water for your health you may as well do it properly in my opinion. I’ve only had the Epic for a few days, but I like the fact that apparently the water just starts to flow through slower when filter needs replacing (rather than flowing through merrily, needing testing every couple of days and then tasting of rotten fish). And although filters are expensive, if they last 3/4 months, money well spent I feel. There is a 90 day filter replacement warning device incorporated but hoping the slowing trickle will alert me sufficiently. As long as the filters remain available, so far the Epic knocks spots off the others in my view.

Coming from a culture where people can tell the difference between the dozen of bottled mineral waters on the market and have a favorite, the quality of the water in the U.S. (whether bottled or running) was a big shock. The water in our town is particularly chlorinated and bad tasting, although I'm sure there's worse. I use filtered water for everything, from drinking water to soups and cooking water. I've been using Brita jars and filters for 20+ years. Then, suddenly, their filters started producing algae in the water (call that programmed obsolescence), and I made it my mission to look for a better water filtration system. I feel it the jackpot with Epic Pure. It is VERY SLOW to filter the water and the replacement filters are EXPENSIVE, i.e. $45 (although you can get on an auto-replenishment program that gives you a discount), but the water is the BEST-TASTING WATER I've had in a long while. The feature I like the most (besides the awesome filter, of course, and the solid construction) is that the jar features two separate compartments. Even if there's [unfiltered] water left in the upper compartment, only filtered water (from the lower compartment) will end up in your cup. The day counter is a nice plus, but I'm sure I'll be able to tell when to replace the filter by the change in water taste. If you can afford the jar and the $45 replacement filter every 30–90 days (depending on usage), don't hesitate. I promise you won't regret it.

Unlike other filters on the market, this one actually removes harmful additives and other substances from the water, and the company is very transparent about how they do it. I am very picky with the taste of water (I care a lot about my health), so I can state that with this filter, water tastes great! No more metal or chemical aftertaste!

The replacement filters are expensive and often out of stock, but this is without doubt the best water filter jug I’ve ever had. I now have three, as I’ve had to purchase a new jug when filters are either not available or almost as expensive as a new jug complete with filter.
