Review: This is the easiest, healthiest filter we've found for safe drinking water! - We've had the Epic Smart Shield undersink water filtration system (we're on city water) for the past 3 years or so. Installation was straightforward for us. Swapping out the filters is very, very easy. We usually go about 9 months on one filter. What is filtered out is of greatest interest to us: this filter is one of the best we've seen/read/heard. It's one of the very, very few EWG (Environmental Working Group) certified water filters out there. That's a big deal for us. Great product, great value, great water!
Review: Great tasting water! - Our water tastes so much better since we’ve been using the Epic Filter!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tasting water!
*by A***R on December 10, 2025*

Our water tastes so much better since we’ve been using the Epic Filter!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A firm grip to twist
*by D***R on May 11, 2024*

We live in hard water country but manage to get more than a year use from these filters. This is our third. I find changing the filter to be a chore and a bit tricky. I have to take the bracket from the original kit off the wall and pull the flexible hoses out onto the floor and step on it to get the leverage to twist the filter off and then twist the new one in. Being careful not the damage the plastic fittings. I only had a small leak where the metal flex hose had loosened a bit. This filter does not come with the fittings, hoses and bracket. That one costs a bit more.
