Why a Countertop Water Purifier is Ideal
Everyone wants clean, safe drinking water for their families. But how do consumers determine the best water filtration system for their home? Some of the more popular water options on the market include pitchers, bottled water and faucet-mounted water filtration systems. Yet none of them offer the full solution of a countertop-based water purifier. Let’s take a look.
Pitcher Filters
Pitchers can seem convenient. However, they require frequent upkeep. The filters need to be switched out every two or three months, or every 40 gallons, and if users fall behind, the overloaded filters can begin to return contaminants into the water. It’s also expensive, as a single filter can cost up to 50 percent of the price of the pitcher. Last, pitchers don’t work well for families who need a lot of filtered water. It can take 10 to 20 minutes to process water through a pitcher filter, and it typically holds only a gallon or two at a time.
Bottle Delivery
Clean water is good for our bodies, but when it comes in plastic bottles, it isn’t good for our environment. Plastic is a leading source of pollution around the world, especially in our oceans. At the rate that people are throwing out plastic, “by 2050 the ocean will contain more plastic by weight than fish.” Additionally, scientists are raising concerns about the effects of chemicals in plastic water bottles on human health—even with BPA-free water bottles.
Faucet-Mounted Filters
Faucet-mounted water filters have been available for some time. But one word can describe the main drawback of water filter faucet attachments: leaky. Although faucet mounted filters have improved over time, they may still leak, especially after filter changes or initial installation. In addition, some users report that it can take up to three minutes to fill an eight-ounce glass. And, on an aesthetic note, faucet mounts are bulky and unappealing. Another issue? This design can typically process only 100 gallons before the filter change.
Fortunately, there is a better water solution that is virtually waste-free and processes 300-500 gallons of water at high capacity with no lag time. The Coway Aquamega 100 countertop system offers an instant, unlimited supply of clean, great tasting water right from your tap by eliminating up to 99.9 percent of water contaminants, including lead, while supporting your lifestyle.
Disclaimers
1Coway air purifiers have been proven to trap dust, pollen, dander, viruses and bacteria in the air based on KCL (Korea Conformity Laboratories) testing.They have been tested in a 30㎥ size chamber according to the Korea Air Cleaning Association standard (SPS-KACA 002-132:2022 Modified) to measure the 0.01㎛ size of particle removal rate. It was tested on maximum airflow speed in normal room temperature and humidity conditions. The performance may vary in the actual living environment of customers.

3Aerosol test conducted in a Biosafety level 3 laboratory with two Coway air purifier models, Coway Airmega 250 and 400 for removal of SARS-CoV-2 Aerosol by US based MRI Global, a not-for-profit laboratory and partner of US Department of Defense. The test was conducted in a 13.1ft3 chamber. Virus was aerosolized for 15 minutes and the product was turned on high for 2 minutes. Result showed each product effectively removed over 99.98% of the SARS-CoV-2 in 2 minutes. This is a result from a laboratory experiment condition and result may vary in different conditions. This result does not imply it kills SARS-CoV-2 or prevents the transmission of Covid-19. Coway Airmega 250S and 400S are identical to the tested models and has equal performance with an additional mobile connectivity function.

5The coverage area of the air purifier is based on an area where the air cleaner can make two air changes per hour (ACPH). An air change per hour translates to how many times an air purifier can clean an area, assuming the height of a ceiling to be 8 ft, in one hour. Therefore ** means two air changes per hour means that the cleaner can clean the area once every 30 minutes and * means air changes per hour means that the air purifier can clean the area once every 60 minutes.
