The trap most shoppers miss

Basic tier

NSF/ANSI 42 only

Taste, odor and chlorine. No lead claim. Often the cheapest version of a brand's filter.

Mid tier

Adds NSF/ANSI 53

Health claims such as lead and cysts, named in the listing.

Top tier

Adds NSF/ANSI 401

Emerging compounds such as some medicines and pesticides.

Same brand, nearly the same name, very different listings. Read the 2026 study.
