This Ecopure filter is downright adorable.

Sure, it’s certified by the NSF to handle taste/smell issues as well as “reducing cysts such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia by mechanical means”. And it’s a full flow filter, so you don’t need a separate faucet or anything. 

But, at about 14” tall and 4” wide, it’s smaller than some water bottles. It's not just a filter – it's a pint-sized powerhouse in an adorably compact package.

What about changing the filter? How often should I do that?

Replace it when the water pressure starts to slow down OR when it’s been more than a year. Past the 18 month mark? I’d start worrying a bit.

Changing it’s easier than a light bulb. 

Twist it lefty loosey, and it’ll automatically shut off the water so you can remove it. Then take your new filter, push it back into the head and twist righty tighty. Then just run the tap for a few minutes to flush out any dust or little bits and you’re done!
