Waterdrop 200-Gallon Long-Life Water Filter Pitcher, NSF Certified Water Purifier, Replaces 6,400 Plastic Water Bottles a Year, Reduces Chlorine, PFOA/PFOS, 7-Cup, Blue

This pitcher appears to do a great job removing a foul taste from tap water which may be chlorine/chloride (and who knows what else) and makes it much easier to stay hydrated. Water gets filtered fairly quick and there is no leaks. It appears well made with a high quality plastic that does not crack easily nor does it appear to leech anything into the filtered water. It is also at a great price point so I definitely recommend it.

This Waterdrop PT-05B-L Water Filter Pitcher was very easy to put together and start using. The water tastes great, and I love that it comes with an app to remind you when it is time to change the filter. I personally use Alexa to remind me, but I still think that is a great feature. The 7-cup size is convenient, and the long-life filter makes it even better. Overall, this is a great buy, and I am very happy with my purchase!

I wasn't happy originally because I was not able to taste any difference in tap water. I had been drinking solely bottled water for couple of years but was concerned about micro plastic. After reading my 1-star review WaterDrop offered to send a filter replacement from their new batch of filters and sent me a pair. I'm extremely pleased by their customer service and highly recommend to give them a try.

I have received no remuneration of any kind from the seller, or associates. No coupons, or promises of a refund, no free product for a review, or any other type or kind. I have no connection with the company whatsoever except as a purchaser. I am not connected by friendship, marriage or business with the seller or their associates. I paid for this product with my own money and I am giving my honest opinion about the product and the retailer. One word about TDS readings. Nowhere in the information about this filtering pitcher does it say that this filter lowers TDS. In fact it actually says that it does NOT lower TDS. You don't get something for nothing. If you want a lower TDS, shop for a filtration system that lowers the TDS! You're not going to get Zero Water filtration quality for the price of this water pitcher. I would not recommend this pitcher for people that have medium to high awful water. The more the filter has to filter out of the water the faster you have to replace filters. The filters are kind of like sponges, except they soak up the bad stuff in the water. The more bad stuff you have in your water the faster you will go through filters. Iron, hard water, and some other things can clog your filter in a short time if you have very high levels in your water. Well water can be a problem too because a lot of well water is mineral rich, and can also have a lot of pesticides if you live in an agricultural area, or in the areas of manufacturing plants and so forth. I've read a lot of information about water filtration and reviews about a lot of water filtration pitchers all over the web. I chose this one because it's just the right size for me. It filters water quickly. The water quality in my area is not awful, but I dislike drinking chlorine. I don't know anyone who would with any certainty say that is IS good for you. Not only that but if you take medications, what does chlorine do when mixed with them in your body? It's dangerous to mix chemicals like that. Our water lead levels are not zero but they are extremely low. fluoride isn't very high either. None of the tests showed high levels of anything. I just want it as close to none as I can get within my budget l Think the water quality rating is 24 if I remember right, and read the water report correctly. Which means it isn't terrible, but I still wanted the chlorine and as much of the other things reduced as much as I can within my budget limits. So I looked at pros and cons of each filter type, big gravity fed ones, and pitchers, and filter bottles, and chose this one. I made an effort to get information about another company's filters and they gave me a run around without answering my questions. So I'm not buying anything made by them. If they can't give me answers about their product something smells very fishy! Distillation will take almost 100% of things out of water but it is slow, and generally unless you invest in a system that can do daily 5 gallons at a time for cooking and a large family, it's not really practical. For one or two people it's manageable. Most distillers make 1 gallon at a time, and that takes a while. I don't know anyone who can babysit a distilling machine all day. Because you have to empty the one gallon and refill it 5 times to get 5 gallons. I don't have time for that. This filter may not take out everything. If you have really bad water I would suggest a gravity fed water filtration device. It filters around 2 gallons. The filters are more expensive. but if you look around and find one, then you can also shop around for filters. They take longer to filter but I really think they do a better job than these pitchers, with the exception of Seychelle, Alexa Pure, and a few others, however they are verrrry slow in filtering the water. Epic makes water filtering bottles that tackles everything, but I don't know if they tackle bacteria and viruses, it is also harder to suck water through the filter, not extremely, but it still more difficult than others.. Life straw makes a water bottle that will filter bacteria and viruses but I don't think it filters out a lot of other things. Life Straw does make a pitcher that seems to filter out a whole lot of things but the reviews are not great on the quality. There seems to be problems with durability and leaking. You can read them yourself. So far this pitcher meets my needs very well. It's slim so it doesn't take up a lot of room, it filters quickly. The water doesn't smell and it tastes good. It is simple to refill, and simple to change the filters. The water smells good and tasted good. I am very happy with my purchase. SO I'm giving this pitcher 5 stars for: Effectiveness, build quality, does what it says, made no false claims, capacity, size, ease of use. ease in replacing filters

Have always been somewhat concerned about the quality of the water in my building, even more so after extensive recent plumbing upgrades because the tap water was now cloudy. White this could be from air in the line, decided to buy this product. Change was dramatic, the water now crystal clear, and the taste difference notable. Not sure what filter removes, but am impressed with the outcome.
