Why Choose the Epic Smart Shield Filter?
*Note: Areas with high sediment levels (NYC metro area especially), and people who have well water or in an older home with old pipes), we recommend using our 5 micron Epic Smart Shield Sediment Filter (click here). This will prolong the life of your Smart Shield filter and it is a good idea even if you do not live in these areas to catch larger particles of dirt and debris before they reach your filter.
The dimensions of the Epic Smart Shield are 19 3/4" Tall x 4.5" Deep x 4 1/4" Wide. Remember, the Epic Smart Shield now comes with heavy duty Velcro tape so you no longer have to drill holes, this allows more people with tight spaces under their sink to install the Epic Smart Shield.
Goodbye Single use plastics: Each Epic Water Filter eliminates the need for up-to 1500 single use plastic bottles. Enjoy some of the cleanest water on earthing knowing that each sip is contributing to the reduction of single use plastics.
Partnerships: We are a proud contributor and strategic partner of the Inland Ocean Coalition (IOC) who works to raise awareness of the impact that micro-plastics (single-use bottles and straws) are having on our rivers and oceans. They remind us that you don't have to live by the ocean to care about it. Click here to learn more about them. You can also support IOC by purchasing our OG Special Edition IOC Bottle, proceeds go directly back to them.
Materials: We opt for materials that are gentle on the environment. Our packaging is 100% compostable, and we have a Filter Recycling Program to help you responsibly dispose of your used filters (and get rewarded for it). To learn how you can recycle your filter, click here.
We also like to reuse materials in our warehouse whenever we can do so safely so as to minimize our footprint and give a second purpose to materials that would otherwise end up immediately in landfills.
Giving Back: We believe in supporting others who are doing work that matters. As a 1% for the Planet Member, we commit 1% of our sales each year to give back to environmental organizations that are truly making a difference. We like to engage our local community in making a difference too, so we do monthly creek clean up’s to prevent unwanted waste from making its way from us to the ocean. We love where we live and we like to do what we can to keep it beautiful.
Recycle for rewards: Can our filters be recycled? Yes, they can! But it's not always easy to find a recycling center that will do so. We use Terra Cycle's Zero Waste Box for Filters so both the filter shell and the contaminants inside can be disposed of responsibly. Want to be rewarded for recycling your filters? Learn more here.

I love this water filter. Our water tastes great now, and the water pressure is pretty much the same. Install was super easy.

Wonderful to have a single filter with a reasonable small footprint as an undercounter water filter and without the water loss of an RO filter. We have a very small single filter RO on our drinking spout and it's great to have the Epic filter on our cold water faucet too. Just wish the Epic filter took out more chlorine. We lived in Wilmington, DE and the Brandywine watershed has some of the cleanest water on the East Coast. Unfortunately, the workers at the water treatment have little experience and the chlorine from water treatment has been measured as high as 27 ppm. Being able to take out more of the chlorine when high concentrations are presented would give us even more peace of mind.
