It's no secret that we should all be drinking plenty of water throughout the day. With that in mind, you should prioritize buying the best water purifier for your home. While many of us are focusing on function with these kitchen essentials, here at House Beautiful, we value aesthetics equally. So yes, you can have a water filter that does an excellent job of providing you with a crisp, clean drink and beautifies your space at the same time.
As you'll see ahead, it's not a one size fits all situation. A top suggestion is the super affordable PUR attachment filter, ideal for small space dwellers with limited refrigerator storage as you can attach it directly onto your faucet. Then, there's the state-of-the-art iSpring Osmosis water filtration system guaranteed to last you for years. As if those styles aren't enticing enough, there's no forgetting the eco-friendly Aquagear filter. But no matter which route you choose, you better believe any of these filters will elevate your water drinking experience in every way. Given how many cups of water you should be having on a daily basis, we bet you'll soon be questioning why you haven't made a filtration investment sooner!

Review: "I was skeptical about this, but this water purifier works beautifully! The water tastes as good as bottled water! It was super easy to install and is more practical than a filtering system under the sink because the purified water is not wasted with the handle on the side to turn the filter on and off."

Review: "I purchased this pitcher because I moved into an apartment without a filtered water dispenser built into the refrigerator. The water tasted like it had a high chlorine content.

On the hunt for an environmentally conscious product? Look no further than Aquagear. Not only does the brand's filter last three times longer than its competitors, a portion of sales goes toward helping families in Tanzania gain access to clean drinking water. The filters can also be recycled and Aquagear will even send you a pre-paid label so you can just drop it in the mail and they'll take care of the rest. This process helps keep waste out of landfills and oceans.
Review: "The water from this pitcher is just clean and great-tasting. It takes out a lot of stuff, so I add a pinch of salt to a tall glass. Our tap water reeks of chlorine and they add fluoride as well. Not the good kind. We have tried other water filtering pitchers and never really felt good about the results. This is a bit pricey, but we think well worth it..."

When you're ready to invest in a long-haul water filtration system, iSpring is the way to go. It goes inside the cabinet underneath your sink and connects to the faucet. Don't be deterred by the high price point because it's able to produce up to 500 gallons of filtered water per day.

There's plenty to consider when answering this question and the biggest factor is likey budget. If you want an affordable item that's connected to your sink, snag the PUR filter.

The iSpring may be more expensive than others on our list, but it's worth exploring if you have a huge household in need of plenty of filtered water. Each filter can provide up to 500 gallons of filtered water each day, and the filters are able to last from one to three years depending on use.
