Home Water Filtration

Goals

To understand the current competitive landscape of the home water filtration market by obtaining an overview of systems currently available on the market.

Early Findings

To obtain a list of the best home water filtration systems on the market, we leverged industry reviews from Climate Counts and Water Filter Magazine with a primary focus on water filtration systems that provide protection beyond chlorine, flouride, and iron removal to include virus and bacteria removal.

  • The Aquasana 1,000,000 Gallon Rhino provides whole house water filtration for 10 years or 1,000,000 gallons. It removes 97% of chlorine and 99.99% of viruses, bacteria like E. Coli, and chlorine resistant cysts like Cryptosporidium and Giardia.
  • The Springwell Whole House Filtration system uses a 4-stage proprietary designed ActivFlo filtration allowing the most contact time between filter media and water. It removes 99.6% of chlorine. The UV sterilizer add-on 99.9% of harmful pathogens, viruses, and bacteria including E.coli, Cryptospordium and Giardia lamblia.
  • The AquaOx DF12 Whole House Filtration kills 99% of bacteria from water for up to 250,000 gallons as well as reducing chlorine, fluoride and nitrates. The system leverages Quantum Disinfection™ (QD) technology "that uses the quantum mechanic principles of electron movement to create catalytic active surfaces (positively charged) that can disintegrate any microorganism instantly, upon contact."
