For those of us who live in areas where we’d rather treat the water that originates from reservoirs and other government areas, buying a separate water filter is a good choice. First and foremost, they rid the water of harmful chemicals such as chlorine and other contaminants. Also, taste really does matter and getting a good taste without having to pay hundreds of dollars on a whole house filtration system is possible with other options. I have found that the Brita system filters for your faucet are the best and we purchase the Brita FR-200 2-pack, White Faucet Filter 42402 in particular.

The filtration on this system is superb and is very inexpensive. I have a friend who paid nearly $1400 to have a filtration system installed onto her kitchen sink and her water doesn’t taste nearly as good as mine. She also had to have it installed and pay for a professional installation because only the manufacturing company were able to install it properly. My husband installed our Brita filter directly onto our faucet so quickly I couldn’t believe it. The filters are great and they normally last us about 3 months because we consume a lot of water. Even with this, we’re still spending less money than my friend who has to have filters replaced at $120 each every 6 months. At least we get a 2-pack on our filters.
