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

Cons
