Epic Water Filters challenge Brita slow filters, but it isn’t much of a challenge. The Brita Advanced Filter is a joke in my opinion. Every one I’ve tried and tested has clogged in a few days or even a few hours. You can find my earlier articles and videos about the sad state of Brita filters here on Helioza and on YouTube.com.
I just made arrangements to acquire an Epic Pure Water Filter Pitcher for performance testing. When it arrives I will begin an extended test identical to the one I conducted on the Brita pitcher. My goal is to record the filtering time for a measured amount of water and plot those values versus time and gallons filtered. My Brita tests showed a marked and fast rise in filtering time.
Epic Water Filters appear to be considerably different. First of all, the basic filter is an activated carbon block, not the loose granules used in other common water pitcher filters. That sounds like a better design to me because all the water is forced to go through the activated carbon. In granular filters some of the water will bypass the activated charcoal.
This superior design in Epic Water Filters probably accounts for greater amounts of metals removed from the water. Most filter makers, like Brita, make no claims about exactly how much lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, chlorine and fluoride their filters remove. Epic Water Filters does make claims and stands by the measurements. Check out this comparison chart.

I’m excited about this opportunity to test a new and superior water filter. What’s even better, it’s Made in America. In fact, the company is just down the road from me, in Boulder, Colorado. As I gather data, I’ll keep posting updates here on Helioza, and if you just can’t wait to try out Epic Water Filters, I have a great deal.

I have a brita dispenser, not a pitcher. What filters can i use instead of
brita? Epic does not have the style I need
Epic has a dispenser with the filter under the sink. That is a better solution than trying to make an Epic filter work with the Brita dispenser (I’d say that’s impossible). The Epic Smart Shield home filtration system runs filtered water through your own faucet. If your sink supports it, you can get the Epic Smart Shield with it’s own dedicated faucet.
