10 best water filter jugs

10 best water filter jugs

The quality of tap water within the city leaves much to be desired. Often, a strongly chlorinated liquid flows from the tap, and drinking it is not only disgusting, but also very harmful (especially for people suffering from allergies to chlorine). In order to somehow rectify the situation, a person has to use filter elements that significantly increase the overall water quality. One of the options is capacious jug filters operating on a cumulative system.

The Russian market is almost entirely occupied by two companies that produce jug filters - Aquaphor and Barrier. However, among other manufacturers, there are models worthy of getting into the top list. Based on the filtration quality parameters, roominess, price compliance with the declared characteristics and individual features, we have compiled for you the rating of the ten best water jug ​​filters in three main categories (by manufacturers). The following criteria were taken into account when allocating places:

• user reviews (the number of positive and negative comments on the product);
• opinion of authoritative sources;
• advice of professionals in the field of filter elements.

The best filters-jugs for water company "Barrier"

3 Barrier Award

One of the most expensive jar filters of the brand "Barrier", but this is justified by its improved characteristics. Thanks to the convenient shape of the jug, it is placed on the door of the refrigerator - water can be cooled directly during filtration. Rubberized ring around the bottom perimeter provides a stable position even on smooth kitchen tables. Also, the manufacturer has provided an electronic cassette replacement indicator, so that users do not forget to change the filter in time.

The resource of the standard filter module included in the kit is 350 liters, so it will only need to be replaced a few months after purchase. But this parameter depends on the activity of the consumption of filtered water. Replaceable filters can be used different - for example, specifically for hard water. The filtration rate is quite high - 0.3 l / min., A full jug is typed in 3-4 minutes. Among the shortcomings, users in the reviews emit a small amount (1 liter) - it is enough only for drinking, but not for cooking. To get the right amount of clean water, you have to pour it into the jug several times in a row.

Advantages:

• big resource of the filtering module;
• high filtration rate.

Disadvantages:

• small volume of accumulative capacity.

2 Barrier Grand

Not so long ago, "Barrier Grand" was one of the most successful models of the company, but a sharp change in the price of filters has done its job. The standard (supplied in the kit) filtering module is of high quality and is designed to filter 350 liters of water, which is not the case with its purchase versions.And it seems the same producing company, and seemingly no differences in structure, but the quality of cleaning leaves much to be desired. By the very same jug users have no complaints - it is capacious, 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:

• low price;
• quite good execution of a jug (convenient handle, pleasant appearance);
• availability of a microprocessor filter resource indicator;
• storage 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).

1 Barrier Smart

A very successful version of the jug filter, the users liked the ergonomics and atypical appearance. Judging by the reviews, "Barrier Smart" has gained popularity not only for design decisions: the overall quality of water filtration is excellent, even the most delicate tastes are removed (scale and bitterness from chlorine). However, even a seemingly perfect-looking jug has its weak points. Many users complain about a very beautiful and comfortable, but shaky handle and not always tight adjacent separate cover. In addition, the 1.4 liter nominal volume of the drive is also not enough - for storing filtered water in large quantities, another container is required.

Advantages:

• great appearance;
• the ability to pour purified water in the presence in the jug has not yet filtered liquid (due to the separate lid);
• high quality filtration (and high-quality replacement filters).

Disadvantages:

• separate lid does not always fit tightly (when pouring, unfiltered water breaks into cleaned water);
• small amount of storage.

The best filter jugs for water company "Aquaphor"

3 Aquaphor Line

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

Advantages:

• high-quality cleaning from chlorine;
• hard water softening;
• low cost;
• large volume of storage capacity.

Among the minuses, there is a reduction 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.

2 Akvafor Harry

Roomy jug model, ensuring good cleaning even heavily polluted water. It is popular solely because of the size of the drive, since there is a small problem in terms of changing modules. Consumers often complain about the incapacity of purchased filters - with 300 liters of cleaning declared, at best, they filter about 100-200. What makes them "die" so quickly remains a mystery. Perhaps the fault is the type of water that is not suitable for filtration by the B100-5 module. Perhaps this merit only manufacturer. 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 grip.

Disadvantages:

• small resource of purchased modules;
• somewhat bulky look.

1 Akvafor Ultra

Perhaps one of the best developments of the company “Aquaphor” for the last time. A miniature and easy-to-use jug copes with filtering for fame. As in the entire line of filters from Aquaphor, it holds a unique mark: you can install a whole range of modules based on the overall water quality specifically in your city (B100-5, B100-6, etc.). But the main merit of “Ultra” lies in ergonomics: the lid hangs on its hinges and, for the pouring of water, leans back at the finger of the same hand that holds this same jug by the handle. The only problem is that manufacturers obviously saved on the material - both the base walls and the lid itself are very thin, but not flimsy (you need to try very hard to break such a jug). Definitely the best purchase in its price category.

Advantages:

• attractive price for consumers;
• versatility (the ability to install a number of filter cartridges);
• convenient handle and opening the lid through the button;
• pleasant performance.

Disadvantages:

• inherent to all the jugs from "Aquaphor" recess under the cartridge insert (with a loose fit ensures the transmission of unfiltered water);
• thin-walled construction.

The best filters, water jugs from other manufacturers

4 Siberia-Ceo Aquarius

A very good model of the filter-jug, which many users undeservedly bypass, acquiring the more advertised brands “Aquaphor” and “Barrier”. Although Siberia-Zeo Aquarius exceeds them in all major parameters. One of the advantages is that the resource of a standard filter module is 600 liters, replaceable cartridges also last a long time, they have to be changed very rarely. The need to replace the filter will remind the built-in calendar.

The total volume of the filter is 4 liters., 1.6 liters funnels are quite good indicators with a fairly compact jug size. Another advantage of the model is very high performance (0.9 l / min). Users who prefer this filter to more popular models are satisfied with their choice, leave positive feedback. They like that when using a standard carbon-zeolite cartridge the quality of water improves markedly, the scale on the teapot is much less. It is more difficult to find replaceable filtering elements than on “Aquaphor”, but it also suffices them for a longer time.

Advantages:

• long cartridge life;
• high performance;
• high-quality water purification;
• nice design;
• filter replacement calendar.

No flaws were found with this model - it can be called one of the most successful and high-quality among the range of Russian manufacturers.

3 BWT Penguin 2.7

BWT Penguin 2.7 can be called one of the most beautiful pitchers of our rating. The co-production established by Germany and Austria bore fruit: when entering the Russian market, these jug filters grabbed off even a small, but still a slice of the market. The disadvantages of this particular model can be listed on the fingers: this is a small volume of storage capacity (only 1.5 liters), a worthless cartridge life of 120 liters (but the stated figure is worked out "from and to") and somewhat high cost. However, having spent a little more than 1000 rubles, you get excellent filtration quality, as well as reliable and at the same time structurally beautiful performance, which many analog models cannot boast.

Advantages:

• opening the lid by pressing a button;
• honest working out a cartridge of its resource (or even more);
• great design solution.

Disadvantages:

• "Scarce" and expensive cartridges;
• small drive.

2 Geyser Dolphin

Another jug ​​filter budget class from the Russian manufacturer. A pleasant and, perhaps, the main advantage of the whole product line from “Geyser” is a reliable threaded fastening of the cartridge, which eliminates the leakage of unfiltered water. With regard to the model "Dolphin", here, along with structural reliability, it should be noted external grace, so attracted the female half of users. Of course, in terms of the level of cleaning, the cartridges do not reach foreign ones, but they work out their price completely. As a result: an excellent jug filter available to the budget consumer.

Advantages:

• acceptable filtration quality;
• cost available to the masses;
• inexpensive and high-resource cartridges;
• good design.

Disadvantages:

• for its price category - does not have.

1 Brita Marella XL

Model of the German filter-jug, which has gained considerable popularity among Russian hostesses. Brita Marella XL combines the intrinsic pedantry and the note of creativity inherent in the Germans, so the design can be found attractive and at the same time somewhat repulsive. The main feature of the filter lies in its functionality: thanks to the wide Maxtra cartridge, the process of water purification proceeds quickly. One of the advantages could be attributed to the presence of a module change indicator, if it had not “flown” on approximately every second or third model. In general, from the qualitative side, Marella XL is almost perfect. However, in terms of cost and costs, domestic jug filters are significantly ahead of their foreign counterparts.

Advantages:

• high quality water treatment;
• high filtration rate;
• capacious drive volume of two liters.

Disadvantages:

• Maxtra's famous cartridges are made in Britain (and Germany, but they are even more expensive) and cost three times as many cartridges on the Aquaphor or Barrier.

How to choose a good filter jug ​​for water

How to choose a good filter jug ​​for water

When choosing a jug filter model yourself, we recommend that you pay attention to the following points:

1. The volume of cumulative capacity. The parameter reflecting the overall dimensions of the jug. If water consumption in your family is consistently high - you should pay attention to more capacious models. Otherwise (obviously) - give preference to compact filters.
2. The quality of plastic. All well-known manufacturers certify their own products, so in their case there are no problems with the quality of the material. However, if you have doubts about plastic, look for a quality mark on the case - a glass and a fork. This suggests that plastic food, and guaranteed not to cause health problems.
3. Filtering speed (performance). Parameter reflecting the rate of passage of water through the cartridge. Typically, the performance does not exceed the value of 0.3 liters per minute. However, more expensive models of jug filters are capable of cleaning much faster.
4. The presence of the filter module in the kit. This is not a basic parameter, however, the presence of such a “trifle” paired with a jug inspires confidence in the company. Often a separate purchase of a module and a jug is more expensive than purchasing a model with a filter already included in the kit.
5. The prevalence of components. Another important factor that is often neglected. When buying Russian jugs, such problems do not arise - cartridges can be found in almost any store. But when deciding to become the owner of a foreign filter, be sure to find out about the prevalence of modules for them.
6. Cost Everything is simple: domestic filter jugs are cheaper in terms of cost and maintenance than the development of foreign companies. Therefore, the choice of the price level is a matter of your priority.
