The memory of Flint, Michigan’s water crisis and news of ongoing floods in California may have you thinking about the quality of your water — and according to Eric Yeggy, the director of technical affairs for the industry trade group Water Quality Association, instances of water contamination don’t always appear obvious. Cindy Tomei, a certified association executive at the WQA, said that different water filtration systems are designed to remove different types of contaminants. Tomei also suggests choosing a water filtration system that has been certified by a reputable organization, such as the National Sanitation Foundation or WQA, since these organizations test and certify water filtration systems to ensure that they meet certain standards for performance and safety. The filtration options ahead have been NSF-certified, use expert-favored reverse osmosis filtering technology or are even used by these experts themselves. We’ve listed these in order of installation ease, from straightforward refillable water pitchers to 6-stage under-sink systems.
