Best water filter pitcher
- Filters out bad taste and harmful contaminants
- Nine -cup capacity
- Filters quickly
- Filter lasts longer than other pitchers
- Electronic filter replacement indicator
- Filler hose may not fit some faucets
Experts say the 9-cup Clear2O Water Filtration Pitcher is more effective at removing lead and organic compounds than other pitchers, plus the filter lasts longer. Two standout features are a filler hose that lowers the filter rate from five minutes or longer to just over 30 seconds, and a filter replacement indicator light that turns red after 50 gallons are filtered. Owners like the taste of the water and the design of the pitcher, although several say the filler hose was difficult to use. If you need to store more than 9 cups of filtered water, reviewers recommend the Pur 2 Stage Water Dispenser DS-1800Z (*Est. $30), which has double the capacity of the Clear2O.
A comprehensive review of water filters at ConsumerReports.org includes the Clear2O Water Filtration Pitcher in its review of seven water filter carafes. In 2007, when the pitcher was launched, Good Housekeeping recommended it for its innovative design. We also consult owner reviews at Amazon.com, where it has several listings.

Editors at ConsumerReports.org test the Clear2O Water Filtration Pitcher and six other pitchers. In addition to removing the bad taste of a cabbage-water solution, the models are ranked according to their ability to remove lead and chloroform (as an indicator of ability to remove organic compounds and disinfectant byproducts). The flow rate during the life of the filter and tendency to clog are also evaluated.
