Maybe, but likely no. If water is passing through your water really quickly, like it seems be pouring straight through and not filtering, then it likely isn't filtering. This typically happens when one of the carbon blocks becomes loose during shipme
While that sounds super tasty, our filters are only designed to work with water. Other things like lemon or fruit will clog our filters and then no more filtered water... womp womp womp. If you like to flavour your water, we recommend filtering it th
Yes, they do!. To see what each filter removes, check out our Testing & Certifications.
We have 2 bottle filters to choose from! Not sure which to get? Hopefully this will help. The Everytap is the best for (you guessed it) every tap. It's meant for treated or municipal water, and it removes over 70 contaminants. A lot of customers ask
Not sure how to replace your filter? We'll happily walk you through it. Check out our video below to see how we change out our Bottle & Pitcher/Dispenser filters.
All of our filters do not contain any kind of silver.
That's a great question. While for some customers, we highly recommend the sediment filter based on their water source, it will never hurt to have one!. If you're not sure whether or not you need one, here are some things to consider. If you live in
There is no expiration date on our filters!. If you've never used it and aren't quite ready for it yet, we recommend keeping it in its compostable bag and storing it in a cabinet or in the fridge. If you have used it but need a break from clean water
Our filters are designed to keep trace minerals in. While they may reduce some of the trace minerals present in your water, they are not designed to remove them. So if your water needs some softening, we recommend using a water softener along with ou
They do! We're not a fan of arsenic either. Here's the percentage that each filter removes ~. Pure Pitcher Filter: 94%. Nano Pitcher Filter: 95%. Everytap Bottle Filter: 82.5%. Everywhere Bottle Filter: 95%
There isn't a shelf life on unused filters! So feel to stock up ;). If you have used your filter and will be going away for a bit or leaving it unused for some time, we recommend taking it out of your bottle or pitcher/jug, letting it air dry and the
Yes, and some better than others. Our Pure removes 97.88%. Our Nano removes slightly less at 68%. Our Everytap removes only about 30% as well. Since it's our bottle filter, it doesn't pack in as much punch as our pitcher filter does (but only in the
If you won't be using your filter for more than a few days, we recommend storing it while you're out and about. You can take the filter out of its bottle or pitcher, and then we recommend letting it dry out for a few hours on either a paper towel or
All our filters have a slower flow than most competitors because our filters remove a much larger range of contaminants. Clean water is worth the wait!. A normal range for new filters is 1-2 hours. Once you've used your filter, it will get faster and
Many times, the filter will typically either slow down or completely clog once it's reached the end of it's life. That being said, a new filter will always work better than an old one. So, we recommend replacing it every 3-4 months depending on how m
Great question...we've gone back and forth on this topic here in the office. It's really hard to determine this number because water quality plays such a huge role. Our filters have a really small micron size. So, the filter will typically either slo
It is not recommended to run hot water through the filter as it leaves it vulnerable to damage. We suggest filtering the water first, then boiling.
Our filters are made from pyrolyzed activated coconut carbon (a step up from charcoal). You can learn more details about the carbon filters here.
The recent popularity of inexpensive and portable TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) meters have now made testing tap water fairly common practice. However, these devices really don’t tell the whole story. Most people are led to believe that high TDS readi
We utilise an activated carbon filter. By itself, carbon is a highly absorbent material that can absorb thousands of different chemicals. Activated carbon is carbon with a slightly positive charge to it, which makes it even more absorbent to chemical
You can pull off the top bit of the filter and remove the filtration media. If you can't do this, it will decompose over time. Otherwise, take the plastic shell of the filter and that can be recycled with "hard to recycle" plastics.
No. Epic Water Filters are embedded with anti-microbial media that prevents the growth of bacteria. However, if you're not going to be using for an extended period of time, we recommend taking your filter out of your bottle or pitcher/jug, letting it
Our filters are not designed to filter salt water. These filters are packed super tight, which is how they're able to remove up to 99.99% of all tap water contaminants. So, the salt would simply clog the filter rather quickly.
Only the EPIC Water Everywhere Filter and our EPIC Nano Pitcher Filter are designed to be used with potentially microbiologically hazardous water sources. Stick with tap water sources for the Pure Pitcher / Jug filter and the Everytap Bottle Filter.
Our bottle filters are proudly made in the USA!. Our other filters are made overseas in FDA compliant factories.
The filter works like a magnet to draw in and trap contaminants as they pass through the straw, leaving only clean, fresh water. Our filters are made out of activated carbon and a unique formulation of ion exchange materials that provide the greatest
