This guide has moved
Our pitcher guide now also covers faucet mounts, with a full cost-per-litre comparison and named products at current Canadian prices.
Filter pitchers are the cheapest filters to buy and among the most expensive to run, at roughly 4 to 6 cents a litre once you account for cartridges. Ion exchange pitchers such as ZeroWater reach near-zero dissolved solids but exhaust quickly in hard water, which most of the GTA has.
