Overview
A 10-cup pitcher filter rated for 120 gallons per filter, third-party tested to reduce lead, chlorine, PFOA/PFOS and microplastics while leaving minerals like calcium and magnesium in the water. The filter media is made in the USA, and Aquagear includes a postage-paid recycling label for spent filters.
Aquagear's pitch centers on filter life and contaminant range rather than speed, and reviewer experience backs that up: several describe a genuinely slow flow rate, particularly as the filter ages, which appears to be the tradeoff for the longer 120-gallon rated life. Worth weighing against filters that pour faster but need replacing more often.

Who it's for
