Question from PT
I am in search of a portable filtering device to take on vacation. I found this Clearly Filtered pitcher and it looks like it has some of the important certifications. What do you think?

Thanks

I can’t really evaluate this because the site doesn’t give enough information. It claims to remove everything you would want to remove, but it says nothing about the filter media, so I can’t confirm their claim.
Also keep in mind the pitcher is good for only 200 gallons, which is probably enough for your vacation.
It’s probably fine for a temporary filter, but again, the site doesn’t give enough information for me to give it a proper evaluation.
I’ve read good things about the Zerowater filter. Depending on your travel plans, means of transportation, etc, you could take a Pure Effect countertop filter with you. That’s what I did for a road trip last year, after asking Debra about it also. It might be a bit much if you don’t have luggage space to accommodate it. But if it works out to do that, it’s nice because it filters so much more than the smaller options do (including fluoride), and it has the capacity to filter more than enough than you’ll need for your trip and can be used when you get back home as well.
