Clearly Filtered
Clearly Filtered competes on filtration performance, not materials: its pitcher body is medical-grade Tritan plastic (BPA/BPS- and phthalate-free), so the freshly filtered water pours through and sits in plastic, the same vessel problem as a Brita or ZeroWater. What sets it apart is that its filter is one of the few pitcher filters certified to reduce fluoride and to remove microplastics - so it is a filtration-first choice, not a plastic-free one.
How clear are their specs?
Publishes detailed third-party contaminant-reduction performance data and NSF certifications, and states the pitcher is Tritan (BPA/BPS-free) plastic - transparent that the vessel is plastic.
