If you’re just dipping your toes into the filtered water world, start small. A basic pitcher like a Brita or Pur will set you back about $20 to $50. That’s it. You fill it, you wait, you pour delicious water.
But here’s the catch: those filters need replacing every couple of months. Think of it like buying a subscription for cleaner water, just with less commitment than a streaming service. It’s perfect for renters or for people who aren’t ready to drill into their countertops yet.
Then you have the faucet-mounted filters—the little gadgets that screw right onto your tap. These usually cost between $30 and $80. Installation? You can do it in two minutes flat, no tools required. Isn’t that satisfying?
