Figuring out how to get healthier drinking water has several options. There are so many kinds of water filters, including carafes, faucet-mounted models, under sink filters, refrigerator filters, and whole-house systems.

The price usually starts at about $20 for a carafe and faucet-mounted filter to $1,000 for a reverse-osmosis system. The water filter package should say the filter meets NSF certification, which develops standards for the industry.

But be aware that there are counterfeit filters that could void your appliance warranty or damage your appliances. And the fake filters may not be taking out all of the impurities that you are banking on. To find out more about fake filters, there’s a website with more information called FilteritOut.org. The best bet is to not shop for a deal on a replacement filter, and go to the appliance maker for your next filter.

Beyond the impurities like lead, mercury, asbestos, herbicides, pesticides, insecticides, and pharmaceuticals, 30 percent of cities in the United States use chloramine to treat water. Most filters don’t filter it for our drinking water. And there still are millions of lead service lines and some infrastructure even dates back to the Civil War era, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers. 

We’ve gathered a collection of water filters, fruit-infused water delights, water bottle and filter upcycle inspirations, and other refreshing drinking water ideas to make our homes healthier for our families below. Check them out below.
