Stages of Filtration

Certified to remove more contaminants than any other countertop filter

Many water filters are only designed to improve taste. AquaTru purifiers are designed to do more.

Stage 1 & 2

PRE/CARBON FILTER

Removes sediment, rust, chlorine, & chloramines.

Stage 3

REVERSE OSMOSIS FILER

Removes lead, arsenic, nitrates, fluoride, & chromium 6.

Stage 4

VOC CARBON FILTER

Removes VOCs, “forever chemicals,” & microplastics.

Most water filters reduce a limited number of impurities. AquaTru goes further with a patented, multi-stage reverse osmosis water filter system that’s certified to remove 84 toxins.

This award-winning technology gives AquaTru the power to remove contaminants that basic filters leave behind.

So your AquaTru purification system doesn’t simply improve taste. It’s actually delivering cleaner, safer, and healthier water.

Why do people switch to AquaTru

You don’t need to understand the science to notice the difference. Once people realize what’s in their tap water, it’s hard to go back.

*Based on review of competitors’ publicly posted information as of 3/6/2026

The results are in

“One of the most popular pitcher filters that everybody thinks of is only certified to remove 8 contaminants. AquaTru is certified to remove 84. There’s really no comparison.”
