First, are you more concerned with removing dirt or sediment from your water, or is taste the biggest factor? If the answer is taste, a carbon filter will work best. Another factor to consider is the micron rating. The lower the micron rating, the smaller the particles that are removed from your water.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;What does NSF certified mean?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>The National Sanitation Foundation reviews products and determines if they meet their safety and quality standards.
