How We Help
We spend a ton of time researching, testing, and reviewing water filters and treatment products.
Whenever we review products these are the steps we take to determine which ones are best:
- We first do extensive research on the specific filter technology, its uses, and what water problem it’s used for so that we really understand the product.
- Next, we determine the most important features that someone needs to know about when choosing the specific product so that we can determine how different models compare to each other.
- Next, we do research on all the top products in the category and narrow them down to the top 5-10 choices.
- Once we have narrowed the choices down we evaluate each water treatment product on the main features we have determined are most important as well as the price and reliability to grade them.
- Last, we go over any other necessary information you need to know about the product when determining which one is best for your home water situation.
Whenever we create informational guides these are the steps we take to help answer your questions regarding water treatment:
- We first do extensive research and consult with water experts if necessary to determine the correct solution or answer to your question.
- Then, we explain exactly how we determined our answer detailing the information we used to come to the conclusion and outlining this in a way that helps you figure out the solution to your water treatment question simply.
