Our Take

The Aquasana EQ-1000 treats every drop of water in your home. Its activated carbon media removes 90% of PFAS along with chlorine, lead, herbicides, and industrial solvents. The 1,000,000-gallon capacity means the main tank lasts up to 10 years, though pre-filters need quarterly replacement. For comprehensive whole-home protection, pair it with an under-sink RO for drinking water.

Pros

  • + Filters all water in your home — every tap, shower, and appliance
  • + 1,000,000 gallon capacity lasts up to 10 years
  • + Removes chlorine, lead, pesticides, and PFAS

Cons

  • Professional installation recommended (~$300-500)
  • Lower PFAS removal rate than point-of-use filters
  • Doesn't remove TDS — pair with drinking filter for best results

Best For

Homeowners who want PFAS reduction from every water source — showers, laundry, and drinking water
