Simple and easy to use and connect, countertop filters are not only less onerous on landfills, they save you a whole ton of money! The one we picked has a cost of only nine cents a gallon. Compare that with the cost of plastic throwaway bottles and you’ll never go back! We all have to start thinking “green” and reduce the waste that we produce, and as we started looking at our own waste, plastic disposable bottles were filling our trash.

The model we purchased is the Aquasana AQ-4000 countertop filter. After lots of research on the Internet, this filter looked like a “Best Buy.” In fact, Consumer Digest did just that and rated it their “Best Buy” four years in a row. The twin cartridge system removes over 99 plus percent of the contaminants that are in our water. Compared to the pitcher type filters, this filtration system is not only vastly superior they are less expensive.
