Overview
Not an under-sink system, the AquaTru Classic is a corded countertop purifier that runs tap water through a reverse osmosis filter set with no plumbing work. Quick twist filters come with the unit, and the purifier dispenses the treated water itself.
Getting certified reverse osmosis water without drilling, plumbing or landlord approval is the reason to buy. The certification list is broad and covers forever chemicals and microplastics. Plan for a permanent spot on the counter near an outlet, and note the source water TDS limit.
Who it's for
Renters, dorm rooms and kitchens where cutting into plumbing is off the table get reverse osmosis on the counter. Homes with very hard or high-TDS source water, or cooks short on counter space, should look at an under-sink system.
Pros and cons
- No plumbing or drilling needed
- Broad NSF/ANSI certification list
- Certified for PFOA, PFOS and microplastics
- Quick twist filter changes
- Takes up counter space
- Needs a power outlet nearby
- Filter life varies widely with use
- Capped source water TDS rating
Performance notes
Purification comes from the reverse osmosis stage forcing water through a membrane powered by the unit itself, so it works without a pressurized line. Filter life swings with how much water you run and how dirty it is, which is why the change interval spans a wide range. Very high TDS source water exceeds what the unit is rated to handle.
