It’s not a single filter, but a whole team of superhero steps. First, the water passes through a reverse osmosis membrane that kicks out 99% of impurities. Then, it hits special resins and UV light that zap any remaining ions or microbes.

You don’t need to be a lab coat to enjoy it. Anyone can set up a mini system for under $200. Suddenly, you’re the friend who makes the best iced tea at parties.
