class=\"paywall\">Of the three new-school gravity-fed systems I tested, the Boroux is my Goldilocks choice among usability, aesthetics, filter life, and extensive third-party testing. It&#8217;s also obtained international certifications to NSF criteria (in this case, through the WQA) for particulate and microplastic removal, in addition to lead-free manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Independent third-party testing showed efficacy against chlorine, PFAS, and lead. And my own testing showed its efficacy in chloramine-treated water systems, reducing total chlorine by more than 95 percent. The water tasted good. And the Boroux is also the prettiest water filter system I know, which matters quite a bit if it&#8217;s going to live in your kitchen for years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Boroux also sells supplemental fluoride filters, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/2013\/05\/a-natural-history-of-fluoride\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">for those worried about fluoridated water.<\/a> I wasn&#8217;t able to test the efficacy of this, because I live in Portland, Oregon, <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.pdxmonthly.com\/health-and-wellness\/2025\/03\/fluoride-water-portland-history\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.pdxmonthly.com\/health-and-wellness\/2025\/03\/fluoride-water-portland-history&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pdxmonthly.com\/health-and-wellness\/2025\/03\/fluoride-water-portland-history\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the largest metropolitan area in America without fluoride in its water.<\/a> But independent, third-party testing backs up these claims.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">One reason for Boroux&#8217;s performance is simple: Boroux&#8217;s filters are a trusted technology, functionally identical to the original Berkey black filters made with a mix of activated carbon and antimicrobial silver.
