On-Tap Faucet Mount Water Filters

Your Home on-tap faucet mount water filter

Water filters for home use: do I really need one?  Well, if you're not enjoying the drinking water coming out of your kitchen faucet, it's time for an on-tap water filter!

There's a pretty wide variety of on-tap water filters available.  There are several different brands but they all have one thing in common: they attach to your faucet!

Search around the web and you'll see that there's all sorts of comparisons and tests available online, and a lot of them contradict each other!  So how are we to decide which brand and model to purchase? 

I focus primarily on what I believe is the most cost-effective method today: the faucet-mounted water filter. I've used a faucet-mount water filter for a couple years now and find it relatively inexpensive, and the odor from my city water is gone!  I think the water tastes better, as well.

I've included information about how three popular types of filters work: Activated Carbon (the most common on faucet filters), Particle and Resin water filters.  Often, a combination of two or more of these filtration systems will be used for the more complex whole-house systems.
