15 Best Water Filter Pitchers

The compact filter "Barrier Alaska XS 2.5 l" will be an excellent addition to the larger "brother". It can be placed in the refrigerator door, used to water flowers or refill household appliances such as irons and humidifiers.You can even take it with you to the country house or outdoor recreation - the lid sits tightly and prevents water from spilling. Buyers praise the accessory for its stylish look, convenience and compactness. The cartridge resource is 200 liters - not the largest, but not the smallest option either.

There are also disadvantages: the lid opens tightly, and plaque quickly appears on the transparent walls. However, buyers should be warned: for some reason, many rely on 2.5 liters of already filtered water, although the capacity of the lower flask is no more than 1.1 liters. This is important to take into account before buying, so as not to receive a product that does not meet expectations.

The filter jug ​​"Barrier Prime 4.2 l" differs from many models of the brand. It is a fixture inspired by the requirements of modernity. The presented variation of the pitcher filter for purifying and softening hard water has a tight-fitting lid with a curtain that moves away under the pressure of water. Another important detail is pouring into a mug or other container. To start the process, you need to press the lever on the case handle. In reviews, many buyers praise this option. But others, on the contrary, like it less than the classic inclination of the funnel.

In other parameters, "Prime" is not inferior to the leaders of the manufacturer: large volume, total resource of cartridges from 300 to 350 liters. But the shades of the upper part have been “refreshed”: now the original light green color and the gray-blue version are available to customers.

One of the most convenient jugs for cleaning hard and polluted water is the Norm Barrier 3.6 L.This is the best option for those who do not need an overly small 2.5L kitchen gadget, but do not want to buy a large rectangular decanter. "Barrier" will easily filter up to 350 liters of water from one cartridge within 2-3 months, maintaining a speed of 300 ml / min. As buyers note in reviews, the kitchen filter is much more compact than 4 liters of analogues. The lid can be removed effortlessly, there are no curtains that collect dust, but there is an informative indicator calendar to control the date of cartridge replacement.

The presented filter jug ​​is sold in 3 classic colors. And the disadvantages of the model include the tendency of plastic to mechanical damage. Even when wiping with a rag with not the softest pile, scratches can appear.

Not so long ago, the Barrier Grand was one of the most successful models of the company, but a sharp change in the prices of filters has done its job. The regular (supplied in the kit) filter module is of high quality and is designed to filter 350 liters of water, which cannot be said about its purchased versions. And it seems to be the same issuing company, and there seems to be no differences in structure, but the quality of cleaning leaves much to be desired. Users have no complaints about the jug itself - it is roomy, comfortable and generally looks good. If we take into account only the factory equipment, this is one of the best filters in its price category.

Advantages: price; good execution of the jug (comfortable handle, nice appearance); the presence of a microprocessor indicator of the filter resource; drive capacity (1.8 liters). Disadvantages: a sharp drop in quality and an increase in the price of replacement filters (good modules come across, but less and less).

A very successful version of the jug filter, which attracted users with its ergonomics and atypical appearance. Judging by the reviews, Barrier Smart has gained popularity not only for design solutions: the overall quality of water filtration is excellent, even the finest aftertastes (scale and bitterness from chlorine) are removed. However, even a seemingly ideal pitcher has its weak points. Many users complain about a very beautiful and comfortable, but flimsy handle and a split lid that does not always fit snugly. In addition, the nominal volume of the storage tank of 1.4 liters is also not enough - other containers are required to store filtered water in large quantities.

Advantages: excellent appearance; the ability to pour purified water if there is not yet filtered liquid in the jug (thanks to the separate lid); high quality filtration (and quality replacement filters). Disadvantages: a separate lid does not always fit tightly (when pouring, unfiltered water drips into purified water); small storage capacity.

Perhaps one of the best developments of Aquaphor in recent times. The miniature and easy-to-use jug copes well with filtration.As in the entire line of filters from Aquaphor, it holds the brand of uniqueness: you can install a number of modules here, based on the general water quality in your city (B100-5, B100-6, etc.). But the main merit of "Ultra" lies in ergonomics: the lid hangs on hinges and, for pouring water, leans back at the wave of a finger of the same hand that holds this same jug by the handle. The only problem is that the manufacturers obviously saved on the material - both the walls of the base and the lid itself are very thin, but not flimsy (it takes a lot of effort to break such a jug). Definitely the best buy in its price range.

Advantages: attractive price for consumers; versatility (the ability to install a number of filter cartridges); comfortable handle and opening the lid through the button; pleasant performance. Disadvantages: inherent in all jugs from Aquaphor, a recess for inserting a cartridge (with a loose fit, it guarantees the passage of unfiltered water); thin wall construction.

One of the best filters for water contaminated with impurities and rust, "Aquaphor Prestige A5" with a volume of 2.8 liters. The capacity of the lower container for the treated liquid is 1.5 liters. The decanter is compatible with A5 and A6 replaceable elements designed to soften water with increased hardness. The working resource is 300-350 liters. Many buyers praise the device for its convenience, practicality and a handle that reaches to the very bottom of the jug. Due to this design, the device receives high resistance to cracking even after a fall.The water filler shutter opens with a button and is perfect for taps with both very low pressure and wide jets.

Only drops remain on the curtain, and over time, plaque and dust form, which is difficult to clean out. This is what users like the least about the product. Among the minuses, they also note the inconsistency of the calendar indicator with reality: it works even when water is drawn through the curtain.

Inexpensive, very popular jug ​​filter model among users. The standard filter module not only eliminates the unpleasant smell of chlorine, but also softens hard water. As a result, the scale in the kettle becomes much less. The filter that comes with the jug is enough to purify 170 liters of water. Replacement cartridges last from one to two months, depending on the required volumes. The storage tank is large enough - its volume is 2.8 liters, which means that you do not have to add water several times to boil a full kettle. Users really like the model, and this is the main indicator of its quality. Many people write in reviews that after cleaning and boiling water practically does not differ from bottled water, the taste of tea becomes completely different.

Advantages: high-quality cleaning from chlorine; softening of hard water; low cost; large storage capacity. Among the minuses, there is a decrease in the quality and resource of replaceable cartridges, but this does not apply to a specific model, but to all filters of the brand as a whole.

A capacious jug model that guarantees good cleaning even of heavily polluted water. It is popular solely because of the volume of the drive, since there is a small problem in terms of changing modules. Consumers often complain about the incapacity of purchased filters - with the declared 300 liters of purification, at best, they filter approximately 100-200. What causes them to "die" so quickly remains a mystery. Perhaps the reason for this is the type of water that is not suitable for filtration by the B100-5 module. Perhaps this is the merit of the manufacturer alone. One way or another, the problem exists, but the overall quality of the jug still justifies the price.

Advantages: capacious drive; good filtering ability of the modules (however, a quick failure); comfortable handle. Disadvantages: small resource of purchased modules; somewhat bulky looking.

The best filter jug ​​for water purification from Aquaphor is Provence A5, compatible with A6 cartridges for especially hard liquids. This model is appreciated by customers for its beautiful shape, suitable for classic interiors. The capacity of the carafe was 4.2 liters with a filtered water tank capacity of 2.1 liters. A little more than 1 liter enters the funnel - many people like that even when it is 100% full, the liquid will definitely not run over the edge. But the other part of the buyers, on the contrary, notes that they have to top up twice, and this is not very convenient.

The hinged lid, supplemented by a curtain, is activated by pressing one button.Buyers consider that one of the main advantages is that the liquid completely goes from top to bottom, does not remain at the bottom of the funnel, as with some other models. And from the objective disadvantages, one can single out the fact that it is impossible to pour filtered water while the jug is “working”. At the same time, the cleaning speed of Aquaphor itself is very high, and it does not take long to wait.

Among the best jugs for cleaning and softening hard water, BWT Vida from the Austrian manufacturer occupies the first place in our rating due to its durable, dense and reliable plastic. The 2.6 liter model shown yields approximately 1.1 liters of filtered liquid. Only now cartridges are not so easy to find, and their price exceeds Russian counterparts by 30-50%.

But there are no complaints about the quality of replacement parts. Many in the reviews note that, having tried a BWT jug once, they no longer want to return to other brands. By the way, the unusual shape of the cartridges provides the easiest and most understandable installation. Triple parts provide fast filtration, but their "life" is very short - only 120 liters (replacement once a month).

The Geyser company confidently competes with popular manufacturers of water filtration devices.And in recent years, she was able to take a place on the podium of leaders. The 3.7L Geyser Corus decanter is a model with an unusual design, a 1.7L lower capacity and the fastest filtration rate - up to 400 ml per minute. It is easy to find replacement parts for Geyser on sale, and their quality is unlikely to be inferior to Barrier and other manufacturers. But the price will definitely please you - these are one of the most affordable cartridges.

In the reviews, buyers praise the device for a simple and convenient curtain that opens completely, giving a lot of access to water so as not to wash dust from the edges into the funnel. Also, people note the convenience of the handle: it is durable, wide, with anti-slip pads. However, despite the low price of replacement parts, their resource is 20-25% less - no more than 250 liters. This is where any shortcomings of the product end.

The BRITA Style Cool MX+ filter pitcher is the best in terms of ergonomics and build quality. First-class materials are used in the production: durable, thick plastic, not flimsy. Many users have already appreciated the ergonomics of the carafe, the convenient water filler with a silicone cord, and the LED indicator that works like a traffic light. The hard water filter does the job luxuriously. But buyers are increasingly dissatisfied with the ever-increasing price of consumables. Yes, and their availability is gradually deteriorating. The resource is not the largest - about 1.5-2 months of use with an average water hardness.

The model received a volume of 2.4 liters, the lower tank holds up to 1.1 liters of filtered water.And among the important advantages, the comfort of pouring into a mug stands out - there is no need to wait for the liquid to be completely processed in the funnel.

The jug "Geyser Matisse" got to the silver place of our rating due to the very fast filtration of 400 ml/min. and a large volume of 4 liters. Up to 2 liters are collected in the container for the purified liquid. The round, elongated shape and darkened funnel set the fixture design apart from many other models. The jug is often chosen for use in the office or high-tech kitchens.

It is convenient to draw water into the funnel due to the wide curtain, which moves away by pressing a button. And the cartridge resource is 350 liters - the largest of the options offered on the market. Also, buyers like the stability of the device on rubber feet. But the build quality is an objective drawback. Either the lid is loose, or the handle creaks. In general, the plastic is not the thickest. Therefore, upon receipt of the goods, it is important to carefully check it.

A model of a German filter jug, which has gained considerable popularity among Russian housewives. Brita Marella XL combines German pedantry and a touch of creativity, so the design can be found both attractive and at the same time somewhat repulsive. The main feature of the filter lies in its functionality: thanks to the Maxtra wide cartridge, the water purification process proceeds quickly.The presence of a module change indicator could also be attributed to the pluses, if it did not “fly” on about every second or third model. In general, the quality side of the Marella XL is almost perfect. However, in terms of cost and expenses, domestic filter jugs are significantly ahead of foreign counterparts.

Advantages: high quality of water treatment; high filtration rate; Large storage capacity of 2 liters. Disadvantages: the famous Maxtra cartridges are made in Britain (and Germany, but they are even more expensive) and cost three times more than Aquaphor or Barrier cartridges.
