Whether you prefer a pitcher that fits into your refrigerator, a filter that attaches to your faucet, or a system that lives beneath the kitchen sink, here are some of the best, and most affordable water filters, to keep you healthy and hydrated.

Pur Plus 11-Cup Pitcher ($38)

The Pur Plus pitcher fits easily in a normal-size refrigerator, and it has a lid that stays put to minimize spills. Even better, its accompanying filters are certified by the Water Quality Association for filtering lead, and it estimates that it removes three times the contaminants of a Brita filter.

Big Berkey Water Filter ($384)

This is not the cheapest water filter nor is it the most compact, but it is beloved by those that use it. The Berkey filter relies on gravity to remove 200 contaminants, and the filter only needs to be replaced once every three years or so.

LifeStraw Home Dispenser ($60)

For a dispenser that fits in the refrigerator but holds plenty of water, there's LifeStraw's Home Dispenser. In addition to removing standard contaminants like lead and bacteria, it also reportedly filters out microplastics, pharmaceuticals, and PFAs, which are chemicals that are slow to break down and are often called "forever chemicals."

If you want to ensure your water is alkaline, you'll want to check out this filter. It's massively popular on Amazon — with over 6,300 reviews, it has 4.5 stars.

If you prefer to filter water as soon as it comes out of the faucet, Pur's sink-friendly filtration system can make that happen. The filter typically lasts about three months, and a light on it tells you when it's time to be changed.

iSpring CKC1 Countertop Drinking Water Filtration System ($42)
