Water filter pitchers have two sections that are separated by the filter. You pour tap water into the top reservoir and then the water passes through the cartridge to the storage tank below. Once the water is filtered, you can pour it out though the spout of the pitcher.

Almost all pitcher filters reduce chlorine, but some are also effective at removing other contaminants. For instance, pitchers that use cartridges containing ion exchange resin are also able to reduce heavy metals. This resin comes in the for of minuscule beads filled with sodium. They work by exchanging their sodium ions for the magnesium and calcium ions in your tap water.

1. You can stop wasting money on bottled water. 2. You won’t consume dangerous contaminants from plastic bottles. 3. Some filter pitchers even provide added benefits. For instance, those that change the pH of water add healthy minerals.

Waterdrop provides you with a smart LED reminder that will let you know when to replace the filter. Remember: Blue means good, flashing red means replace soon, and red means replace the filter immediately.

All Waterdrop water pitchers are refrigerator-friendly, which means they can fit in your side door. Just put the pitcher in your refrigerator and enjoy cool, fresh water!
