Clearly Filtered Water Pitcher
The Clearly Filtered pitcher removes more contaminants (232+) than any other gravity-fed pitcher on the market, including fluoride, lead, and glyphosate. While not officially NSF certified, they provide the most comprehensive independent lab testing results in the industry.
Quality & Materials
Uses proprietary Affinity Filtration technology that creates a tortuous path for water, increasing contact time with the media.
Evidence & Testing
Tested by EPA-accredited labs to NSF/ANSI standards 42, 53, 401, and P473. The removal rates for PFAS are near 99.9%.
Brand Transparency
They publish a massive 30-page performance data sheet showing every single contaminant tested and its reduction percentage.
Value Assessment
Filters are more expensive than Brita but last longer (100 gallons) and remove significantly more dangerous substances.
Why Not Alternatives?
Standard pitchers like Brita or Pur only remove basic chlorine and some heavy metals; they do nothing for fluoride, PFAS, or many herbicides which Clearly Filtered handles effectively.
