Buying advice

Consider your space: under-sink systems save counter space but need plumbing access and may not fit with garbage disposals. Countertop systems are easier to install, ideal for renters, but take up counter space. Check NSF certifications for performance standards. For best value, balance initial cost with filter replacement frequency and cost. Reverse osmosis provides thorough filtration but wastes water and can be slower.
