• The system provides a fast and stable water supply with a tested full flow rate of 0.75 gallons per minute (gpm) at 60 psi.
• The innovative multistage filtration effectively reduces PFAS, PFOA/PFOS, chlorine, heavy metals, chemical impurities, sediment, and other large particles.


Image Description: This infographic highlights the contaminants reduced by the Waterdrop filter, including chlorine, lead, PFOA, PFOS, sand, bad taste, odor, rust, VOCs, and CHCl3. It also explicitly states that the filter 'CAN NOT reduce TDS!' and shows a glass of clear, filtered water next to the filter unit.

• The system is designed to retain beneficial minerals such as Calcium, Potassium, and Magnesium. Therefore, a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) meter will not show a significant drop in PPM (parts per million) as it measures all dissolved solids, including beneficial minerals. TDS is not an accurate indicator of the filter's effectiveness in removing harmful contaminants.
