If you are reading this, you have probably encountered something that has made you think twice about your home’s drinking water quality. Clean drinking water is one of the most essential resources that any homeowner has and having to supplement that water due to poor quality can be a difficult and expensive process. One of the best ways to ensure that you will always have reliable drinking water is to install a good water purifier in your home. Water filtration systems are designed to provide an extra filtration step directly before consumption, which helps to ensure that you and everyone else in your household always has clean drinking water readily available. Reasons To Filter Your Water Many of our customers come to us after they have experienced a noticeable drop in water quality. Foul odors, tastes, and turbidity (cloudiness) are all reasons to be concerned about your water quality. There are several ways for water to become contaminated between water treatment and your home, including leaks and other effects of aging infrastructure. If you notice that your water is obviously contaminated, adding a home water filter is a great way to ensure that the water you are drinking is actually going to be safe to consume. This means that large particles and biological contaminants will be removed and the presence of other harmful substances will be reduced to safe levels. Sadly, obvious signs of poor water quality are not the only reason to consider adding a water filtration system to your home. Some dangerous contaminants, including lead and other heavy metals, are virtually undetectable using only our limited senses. Even having your water tested can only provide a snapshot of your water quality at the moment of collection. You can protect yourself against any issues with your drinking water by using some kind of home water filtration prior to consumption. No matter what your reasons are for wanting to filter your drinking water, it is important to make sure that the filter you are using is actually going to reduce the presence of any harmful waterborne contaminants to safe levels. This means investing in a quality water filtration system that is rated to provide the results you need. Choosing A Good Water Purifier When it comes to providing quality drinking water, there are plenty of filtration systems available on the market. Obviously different water filters function in different ways and some systems are obviously superior to others. Finding a good water purifier for your home is all about knowing what you need and what different kinds of filter systems can offer. One of the most common home filtration options is the filtered water pitcher. These pitchers are a commonplace sight in home and office refrigerators across the country. All you have to do is fill the reservoir on top of the pitcher and gravity pulls the water through a cartridge filled with filtration media. Once all the water has trickled through the filter, the pitcher can be used to dispense water or stored in the fridge for future use. While these filters are relatively cheap and commonplace, they come with their share of issues. The fact that they operate using gravity to push water through the filter cartridges means that the media has to be kept fairly loose to allow water to easily pass through. Because of this, these filters are typically not rated for the removal of a certain particle size. While there will definitely be some improvement in water quality, a system that does not operate under pressure simply cannot filter water to the point where you can be assured that heavy metals and other harmful contaminants have been reduced to safe levels. Another common source of home drinking water filtration is a faucet filter. These filters are designed to be mounted on the end of your kitchen faucet. This means that they are able to take advantage of the 40 to 45 pounds per square inch of water pressure that home water lines operate under. Most of these filters have two options, one that allows water to bypass the filter while the other setting diverts water to the internal filter cartridge. The fact that these faucet attachments use your home’s water pressure means that they can provide some quality filtration. Many use carbon and ceramic water filter cartridges that are effective at removing tiny particulates from your water. Sadly the design of these filters also tends to be a little awkward. You have to attach a bulky device to the end of your faucet that you will only actually be using when you need drinking water. If you don’t want to deal with adding a bulky fixture to your current faucet or dealing with the headache that can arise when the seals on these filters fail, it’s worth considering another option. If you are looking for the best water filtration option for your home, you need to consider installing a dedicated undersink water filter system. These filters are designed to operate out of sight and out of mind. Instead of taking up room in your refrigerator or attaching to your faucet, these filters are mounted inside of the cabinet below your kitchen sink. They hook directly into the same water line as your faucet. Because these filters use your home’s water pressure, they typically use a very fine filter media to achieve the best possible filtration results. In addition, the fact that they are installed underneath your sink means that there is more room for a larger filter cartridge. This means that you will be able to enjoy the convenience of having freshly filtered water on tap without having to worry about changing your cartridge or performing other maintenance tasks frequently. Our Water Filtration Systems Our Everpure filters are some of the most efficient options for homeowners looking for an efficient and easy to use water filtration system. Over the years we have worked with many different filtration systems and our Everpure filters have become our focus for a reason. These filtration systems offer what we believe to be the perfect balance between filtered water quality and ease of use for homeowners. All of our home Everpure water filtration systems are designed to be easy to install and maintain. The task of installing your own filtration system may sound daunting, but many of our customers are surprised by the ease of the process. All you need to complete the installation are a few basic hand tools like a wrench, a screwdriver, and a tape measure. The filter head has to be screwed into place at a height that will allow for the cartridge to be easily inserted and changed and a special adapter has to be added to your faucet’s cold water line to allow for water to be diverted to the filter system. Once these two steps are complete, you can connect all of these components using simple cut to fit tubing and then connect the filter’s output to your dedicated filtered water dispenser. Like most under sink filters, most of our Everpure filtration systems will require you to install a small faucet for dispensing your filtered water. This process will involve adding a hole to your sink or countertop, but there are a wide range of small air gap faucets on the market so you can find an option that will be a perfect fir for your kitchen. If adding a new fixture is not feasible or desirable in your kitchen, we still have some incredible filtration options that will work for you. Our Everpure full flow systems are designed to use your existing faucet’s cold water side to dispense your filtered water. The main difference between our full flow and regular systems is the water line adapter. Instead of sending some cold water to your filter, full flow systems filter all of your cold water before reconnecting to your faucet. This means that homeowners can continue to use hot water for tasks like cleaning and save the filtered water for drinking and cooking. Maintenance Once you have installed your new Everpure water filtration system, all you have to do is run water through it for a few minutes to make sure that all of the air has been removed from the lines and the cartridge. Once this process has been completed, the maintenance requirements of these filters is relatively simple. Every Everpure filter cartridge comes with an indicator sticker that will slowly go from white to red over the course of a year. Once your sticker has turned completely read, it is time to consider replacing your cartridge. We recommend that all cartridges are replaced at least once per year to ensure optimal performance. Occasionally cartridges will need to be replaced sooner if the flow rate from your system begins to noticeably decrease. No matter what your reason for changing your cartridge, the process is incredibly simple and should only take a few minutes. All you have to do is turn the automatic shutoff valve on your filter head and then unscrew the cartridge like a lightbulb and replace it with your filter cartridge replacement. Once your new cartridge is in place you can reopen the valve on the filter head and run your system for a few minutes like you did when you first installed it. Cartridges The secret to the efficiency of these filtration systems is their water filter cartridges. These sleek metal cartridges are not only easy to use, but they contain the carbon filter media that is actually going to be purifying water. Everpure cartridges use their proprietary Micro-Pure filtration media that is capable of removing contaminants as small as half a micron from your tap water. These filters remove contaminants like chlorine that can give your water an “off” taste and odor as well heavy metals like lead that can have negative health effects. One of the best things about our Everpure systems is that most of the cartridges are designed to fit a standard filter head. Our Pro Series cartridges are an obvious exception, but most cartridge options should fit the same filter head that comes with our most popular “H Series” filter systems. This means that it is easy to upgrade to a larger cartridge size if you notice that you are using more than one cartridge per year. One of our most popular filter systems is the Everpure H300. Each H300 cartridge is designed to filter about 300 gallons of water, but we carry filters that can provide several thousands of gallons per cartridge. Occasionally our H300 customers will message us about having to replace their cartridges more than once per year, which is usually a sign that a high capacity cartridge is needed. If you need any help finding the perfect cartridge upgrade for your system, we are always happy to help you find the right cartridge to meet your household’s annual drinking water needs.   If you are worried about your water quality, or you are just looking for a little extra peace of mind, our team is always happy to help you find the best Everpure system for your home. There are plenty of factors to consider when trying to pick a good water purifier and our team of filtration experts are always happy to help our customers find the perfect filtration solution for their homes. If you have any questions about any of our Everpure filtration products, feel free to reach out to us. Just send your questions info@efilters.net and we will get back to you as soon as possible! Our goal is to make sure that every one of our customers is satisfied with their filtered drinking water.

Our most popular home water filtration system is definitely the H300 water filter. This particular model is popular for good reason, as it offers great water quality and is easy for homeowners to install and use. If you have been looking to find an under sink water filter for your kitchen, the Everpure H300 should definitely be on your short list if it is not already. Today we will be taking a look at the features on these filtration systems in order to help you divide if it is the right choice for your home. Filtration Power The first concern many homeowners have when choosing a water filtration system is the quality of the drinking water that the system will offer. A lot of budget filtration options like pitcher filters are not rated to remove certain contaminants or sizes of particles because the filtration media is too loose to provide consistent filtration results. The water filter cartridges used in the Everpure H300 use Everpure’s proprietary Micro-Pure filtration media to offer consistent high quality filtration. These filters can remove the contaminants responsible for foul tastes and odors as well as harmful contaminants that may not impact the taste of your water. These filters are designed to remove particles as small as 0.5 microns in size, which is the same filtration quality offered by most Everpure home filter systems. This is fine enough to significantly reduce the presence of harmful contaminants while retaining vital minerals found naturally in your water. If you are looking for a finer filtration option, consider looking into our reverse osmosis filtration options which offer incredible filtration quality, removing particles as small as 1/100th of a micron. Dispensing Water In order to get water from an H300 water filter, you have to install a dedicated drinking water dispenser. This will mean adding a hole to your counter or sink for the installation of a small additional faucet. There are a wide range of gooseneck faucets so it is easy to find an option that will match your existing kitchen. If you are not interested in adding a new fixture to your kitchen, you might want to look into one of our full flow Everpure filtration systems for the Everpure PBS400. These filters dispense drinking water using the cold water side of your existing faucet. This means that it’s easy to install your new filter without changing the look of your kitchen. It also means that you can continue to use the hot water from your faucet for cleaning tasks and while having easy access to freshly filtered water for drinking and cooking. Size Another factor to consider when choosing a home filtration system is size. The H300 water filter has fairly average dimensions at 22” x 5” x 5”. The filter has to be mounted to the inside of the cabinet beneath your sink with a few inches of clearance to facilitate installing replacement cartridges. If you have limited space, there are only a few Everpure options available that are smaller than the H300. The H54 and EF1500 are two systems that measure only 15”, which are the smallest filters that we offer. Capacity Finally you need to think about filter capacity. As its name suggests, every Everpure H-300 replacement filter cartridge can filter an average of 300 gallons of water. For many homeowners, that amount is sufficient, though there are definitely Everpure systems that can handle significantly more water. Regardless of the capacity of your system, your filter cartridge should be changed at least once per year to ensure proper function. The process of making this change takes only a few moments and involves turning on the built in water shut off valve on your filter head, and replacing the metal canister filter like you would a lightbulb. If you find that you have to replace your cartridge more than once per year, the process of upgrading is easy. Many Everpure cartridges are designed to use the same filter head and share the dimensions of the H300 cartridge. This is part of what makes the H300 such a great option for homeowners. You can invest in this filter and easily upgrade it if you find yourself using more than one filter cartridge per year. There are a lot of reasons to choose the H300 as your home water filtration system, and these are just a few factors to consider. If you have any questions about the H300 water filter or any of the other products that we carry, feel free to reach out to one of our filtration specialists by sending an email to info@efilters.net. Our team is always happy to help our customers find commercial grade filtration systems for their homes.

We all need clean drinking water, but it tends to be a resource that many homeowners take for granted. No matter how your water looks and tastes, it’s impossible to know exactly what kind of contaminants are in your water without testing. Sadly even testing will only offer a snapshot of your water quality at any given moment. The only way to ensure consistent water quality is to install a home filtration system like one of our Everpure water filters. These systems filter your water immediately before consumption and can significantly decrease the amount of waterborne contaminants to safe levels. Here at efilters, our team has worked with a wide range of filtration systems over the years. We know that every filtration system has its own advantages and disadvantages so it can be hard to find the perfect system for your home. Our inventory contains only Everpure products for a reason. We have found these systems to be the perfect filtration solution for homeowners. Everpure filters are the one of the best home water purification system brands for a number of reasons. Obviously drinking water quality is the most important factor and Everpure filters offer some fantastic results. Beyond just the quality of your water, these filters are also designed to be extremely easy for homeowners to use unlike many of the budget systems on the market. Common Filters Some of the most common filtration options for homeowners are pitcher filters. You might even have one of these clunky filters already in our home or workplace. While these pitchers may seem convenient, they require a huge amount of maintenance and offer a practically negligible improvement to water quality. Think about it, each of these filters can hold maybe a gallon or so of water. That means that the average household is going to drain the entire pitcher at least once per day. After taking the time to fill it up you then have to let it take up valuable fridge space. Once you finally need a drink you have to grab one of these heavy pitchers and manage to pour a glass without spilling. On top of all of these issues, each pitcher cartridge only lasts an average of 40 gallons of water, meaning monthly replacements are typically required. Because these cartridges operate using only the weight of the water in the top of the pitcher, the media is loose and provides only limited filtration abilities. Everpure filters address many of these issues, which can help offer superior water quality without all of the work. How Do They Work? If you are considering an Everpure system for your home, you are probably wondering how they clean your drinking water. The basic concept of water filtration is a simple one. Water passes through a filtration media, the media removes contaminants from the water, and the water is ready to be consumed. While these basic steps are completed by every filter, including the pitcher systems described above. Everpure filters are designed to function out of the way and dispense their water via a dedicated dispenser faucet. This makes them as convenient as getting water directly from your sink. In order to avoid taking up useful kitchen space while operating out of sight, Everpure’s home filtration systems are designed to mount underneath your kitchen sink. The filter head is screwed to the inside of the cabinet beneath your sink, leaving enough room to install the filter cartridge. A special adapter is also added to your sink’s cold water line to deliver water to the filter head. This means that you can continue to use your sink as you normally would while also always having freshly filtered drinking water on hand. Filtration Quality The most important consideration when choosing a filter system is its effectiveness. Most pitcher filters are not even rated to remove certain size particles because their loose filtration media can allow the occasional contaminant to easily slip through the cartridge. Everpure water filter cartridges are designed to operate under the pressure of a home water line. Because home filters operate around 40 pounds per square inch, the filter media inside that cartridge can be packed much tighter. Everpure’s cartridges use their own proprietary Micro-Pure filter media. This carbon based filtration media acts like a sponge for waterborne contaminants. This is because every granule of activated carbon is covered in microscopic mountains and valleys, creating a much total surface area that is incredibly high. A small handful of activated carbon can have a surface area larger than an entire football field. This means that every cartridge has a huge internal surface area for soaking up and removing contaminants from your water. Sadly inorganic contaminants are not the only thing to worry about when it comes to water filtration. In order to prevent the risk of bacteria growing in your cartridge, each Everpure filter contains a bacteriostatic element to help ensure that any bacteria that makes it into your cartridge will not be able to multiply. This means that the trapped bacteria will die instead of multiplying and negatively impacting your water quality. These cartridges are also designed to remove parasitic cysts and other organic contaminants. Some of our most popular Everpure models are H series systems. The cartridges of these water filtration systems are designed to offer superior surface area and flow rate by using a pleated membrane coated in filter media that increases water flow and the surface area of the filter. The filter media can remove particles as small as 0.5 microns, which is 100 times smaller than the width of a strand of hair. This makes it easy to remove the contaminants responsible for bad tastes and smells in your water. They can also help to remove harmful contaminants like lead that cause no noticeable differences to the taste and odor of your drinking water. Filter Systems that do not begin with “H” have a different arrangement of filtration media. These systems will have a carbon block filter instead of using a pleated membrane filter. This offers an incredible surface area, meaning that many of these filter cartridges can filter thousands of gallons of water per cartridge while offering the same incredible water quality. All of our Pentair Everpure products are NSF certified to reduce harmful contaminants including parasitic cysts and heavy metals. This commercial grade level of filtration offers great tasting water at a fraction of the cost of purchasing bottled water. Installation Adding a water filter to your home may seem like a task that would require a plumber’s assistance, but you would be surprised to find out just how easy our Everpure water filters are to install. A handyman can get the job done easily or you can install the filter yourself using only a few simple hand tools. The average Everpure system can be installed using only a screwdriver, a tape measure, a pencil, and a knife. The most difficult part of the installation will be adding your water dispenser faucet. This process typically requires adding a hole to your sink or countertop, which can take special tools. Luckily, our selection of Everpure systems contain a number of full flow filter options. Our full flow systems are designed to use your existing faucet instead of requiring you to add an entire second faucet. Full flow systems are installed using a special adapter on the cold water side of your faucet. These adapters divert the full flow of your water line instead of just moving a portion of it to the filter. After passing through the cartridge, the water goes back to the other side of the adapter and is dispensed by your faucet. This makes it easy to keep the look and feel of your kitchen the same while also providing the same exceptional water quality as other Everpure models. No matter what system you are using, the final step will always be filter installation. It is important that every system has a little extra space beneath it to facilitate cartridge replacement. Everpure filter cartridges are designed to screw into place quickly like a lightbulb. All you have to do is screw the filter into place and run the system for a few minutes. The process of running water through the cartridge will help to purge any water from the system to ensure that it functions perfectly. Maintenance Unlike most home water filters, your Everpure water filter will require almost no maintenance once it has been installed. The water filter cartridges can handle anywhere from 300 to 3000 gallons of water or more. This means that most of these cartridges can meet the drinking water requirements of a household for at least an entire year. We recommend that you instal a water filter replacement annually no matter how much water you consume or the capacity of your filter cartridge. This will help ensure that your filter system continues to function properly. If you notice that the flow rate from your system has significantly decreased before a year has passed, this may be a sign that it is time to replace your filter cartridge. Luckily the annual task of replacing your filter cartridge is a quick and simple one. All you have to do is flip the shutoff valve on your filter head to temporarily stop the flow of water to your cartridge. Once the water flow has been shut off, you can unscrew and replace the cartridge. Once your new filter cartridge is in place, all you need to do is run the system for a few minutes like you did when you first installed the system. Once this process is complete, you can keep enjoying the convenience of having filtered water on tap 24/7. Savings Not only do our Everpure water filters offer incredible filtration benefits, but they also offer a great savings over purchasing bottled water. Bottled water is obviously safe to drink, but at $1 or more per bottle, the costs can quickly add up. If you drank just one bottle of water per day, you will end up spending hundreds of dollars per year. In a larger household that number might even reach upwards of $1000 per year! An Everpure filter system and a reusable water bottle can easily cut those costs down to a fraction of the cost of buying water by the bottle. Another benefit of using one of these filters is the fact that they will cut down on your use of disposable plastic bottles. Consider the H300 water filter, which has the smallest capacity of our systems at 300 gallons per cartridge. Every cartridge can produce enough filtered water to fill over 22 hundred 16.9oz bottles of water! If you bought 24 packs of water bottles at $10 a pack, that single cartridge can filter enough water to fill almost 100 cases while only costing $65. Once you move up to cartridges with larger capacities like the EF 6000 water filter, you can filter roughly 1000 cases worth of water bottles with a single cartridge. If you are looking to provide freshly filtered water to your household and save big over the cost of bottled water, our team is here to help you. All of our Everpure water filter systems are designed to offer crisp, filtered water whenever you need it. If you need any help finding the perfect filtration solution for your home, all you have to do is contact a member of our team by email to info@efilters.net. We are always happy to help our customers enjoy the peace of mind that comes with pouring yourself a glass of freshly filtered water.

Water is one of the most essential resources that we have and having clean water piped directly into our homes is something that we often take for granted. Sadly water quality can vary significantly, even when you receive your water from what seems to be a reliable source. Finding the best house water filter is a great way to ensure that you can trust that your water is clean and safe to drink. If you have been considering adding a filtration system to your home, our selection of Everpure filtration systems is bound to include the perfect solution. Everpure Filters Everpure water filtration systems are extremely efficient and have been designed to be easy to install and use. This makes them one of the best house water filter options on the market. Everpure water filters are mounted underneath your kitchen sink in order to filter your water without taking up valuable space in your kitchen or refridgerator. This also puts your new source of freshly filtered water in the same place you normally go to fill up a glass. Filtering Your Water In addition to being convenient, these systems also deliver some amazing results. Many homeowners realize the need for home water filtration once they have experienced a noticeable drop in water quality. Foul odors, tastes, and turbidity(cloudiness) are all obvious indicators that home filtration might be necessary. Everpure filters can remove chlorine and other chemicals responsible for foul tastes and odors. They can also help to reduce turbidity and other factors that can cause water to look dirty. Even if you have never noticed a drop in water quality, adding a filtration system to your home is always a good idea. In addition to removing obvious impurities from your water, these filters can also help to remove contaminants that are not easily detectable by our senses alone. Many harmful chemicals and contaminants, including heavy metals like lead, can go completely undetected even when water looks and tastes fine. Everpure filters can help to remove or significantly reduce the presence of these contaminants to ensure that your water is safe to drink. Cartridges The reason Everpure systems provide such amazing water quality is their filtration cartridge design. Everpure filter cartridges are packed with Everpure’s proprietary Micro-Pure filter media. This carbon based media has an incredibly high surface area which acts like a sponge for contaminants. As water flows through the filter cartridge, particles are caught in this media and crisp, freshly filtered water exits the filtration system. Many Everpure filters are designed with a unique pleated filter design. This helps to increase water flow while still optimizing the surface area of the filter media. Every cartridge has a filter life that is dependent on the number of gallons of drinking water that the cartridge can process. This ranges from hundreds to thousands of gallons of water depending on the filter model being used. Every system will eventually require a filter replacement and we recommend changing the filter cartridge Dispensing Your Water One of the biggest factors to consider when trying to find the best house water filter for your home is how your filtered water will be dispensed. Most of our Everpure filter systems will require a dedicated drinking water dispenser in the form of a small air gap faucet. This will mean that homeowners will have to add a hole to their sink or countertop in order to install this dispenser. These small faucets come in a wide range of styles, making it easy to match your new fixture to match the rest of your kitchen. We know that not all homeowners are interested in adding new fixtures to their kitchens, which is why we also offer our full flow filtration systems. Instead of diverting some water away from your cold water line and dispensing it using a small faucet, these systems are designed to turn the cold water side of your existing faucet into a source of filtered water. This is achieved by diverting all water from the cold water side of your sink and then returning it after it passes through your new filter system. Adding one of our Everpure filter systems to your home is the perfect way to take control of your water quality. Our team has spent years working with different filtration systems and we know that Everpure systems offer some incredible results. We can help you find the best house water filter to suit your needs. If you need help finding the perfect solution for your home, please don't be afraid to reach out to us for assistance. Please send an email to info@efilters.net and a member of our team will be happy to help you find a water filter that meets your needs.

Many people know the benefits of having a water filter at home to purify your water supply and keep it clean but some people cling to myths about water filtration. Purification systems aren’t just used for food production and restaurants to remove harmful chemicals and germs from water. 

How can lead get into the water supply? Studies indicate nearly all the lead in tap water is a result of corrosion resulting from materials containing lead coming into contact with water after it leaves the treatment plant.

The Everpure H104 has a lot of features that make it an ideal system for your home. Like every Everpure system we offer, the H104 is easy to install and maintain. It also provides the high level of filtration you need to know that your water is free from harmful levels of chemical and biological contaminants

This is the case for a reason, as this filter system offers the ideal balance between incredible filtration power and ease of use. If you are looking for a home water filtration system that you can rely on, the Everpure H300 is the perfect choice for your home.

Having clean drinking water in your home is essential. They say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and that mentality holds when you are considering a water filter. Unless you are regularly testing your water, it’s hard to know exactly what is in your water.
