@oasis.app: 8. Boiling: kills bacteria, viruses and parasites. Useless against PFAS, heavy metals and chlorine. 7. Sediment / microfiltration: catches grit, silt, rust and sand. Good as a pre-filter, but dissolved chemicals, PFAS and microplastics slip right through. 6. Activated carbon: reduces chlorine, odors and some VOCs for better taste. Not built to remove PFAS, dissolved solids or the smallest microplastics. (Brita Standard scored 29/100) 5. Carbon + ion exchange: adds resin to cut TDS and some fluoride. Stronger than a standard carbon pitcher, still not the best. (ZeroWater 66/100) 4. Gravity-fed advanced media: ceramic, carbon and nanofiber media. No power or plumbing needed, broader contaminant reduction than pitchers. (Boroux 88/100) 3. Distillation: boils and condenses, leaving nonvolatile contaminants behind. Slow and energy-hungry, so it’s mostly industrial. (smartwater is vapor distilled) 2. Reverse osmosis: membrane pores are ~0.0001 microns, roughly 1,000x smaller than the smallest microplastic, while also stripping PFAS, metals, fluoride and dissolved solids. (AquaTru Carafe 93/100) 1. Multi-stage filter: the best setup is sediment, carbon, RO, post-carbon, remineralization, then UV. Everything RO does, plus minerals back in and a UV kill step.
