Visit our desertcart store @ www.desertcart.com/epicwaterfilters Review: I bought the Epic Smart Shield after doing some research on under the sink units. My selection criteria was easy to install, long lasting/affordable filters, and legitimate filter quality supported by NSF testing. I am not a handy guy so if I need more than a wrench and screw driver, I'm calling someone to help me install. The Epic Smart Shield boosted the confidence as it went from in the box to filtering water in my kitchen sink in about 10 minutes. They have extremely simple instructions (with pictures) along with a YouTube video that I paused and played throughout. The filters are reasonably affordable at about $100 for a year's worth of filtered water. The cheap fridge filters will filter about 1/10th of the water for 1/2 the cost. So I felt good investing in a high quality filter that wasn't Reverse Osmosis because I actually want the minerals and stuff. The NSF certifications were the icing on the cake. It seems like everyone has figured out that they should offer an under the sink unit but they aren't putting in the real development time into testing and assuring users that it works. Being NSF 42, 53, and 401 certified as well as being made in America was a sign of quality and something I could trust wasn't just a knock-off Chinese imitation like so many for sale on desertcart. Don't fall for the 3, 4, 5 stage non-sense. It's about test results, not number of filters! Also, I read that some filters made outside the US can have ingredients in them that you'd never want in contact with your drinking water and are illegal in the US! In summary, the metallic taste in our water in vanished, install was a breeze, and I have peace-of-mind that we are drinking good, clean water. Our family will be Epic customers for a long time. Review: The filter is awesome! super easy to install and works like a charm. And the personal touch including a hand written card in the box? well done. I just have three things that I would improve for the next versions of the filter: 1 - The plastic peace that goes in the pipe, I would prefer to have one made of stainless steel because the plastic doesn't look very durable. 2 - Depending of what I am doing I would like to have an option to bypass the filter and send unfiltered water to the faucet because I don't always need filtered water and it would increase the filter's lifetime. 3 - I would like to know the lifetime in gallons of water it is capable of filtering because the time suggested (9 to 12 months) could be diminished depends on the use. ## Features - UNDER SINK WATER FILTER: The Smart Shield sets the standard for water filter under sink category on desertcart. It is the perfect home water filter. SIMPLE DIY INSTALL: No plumber, No third faucet hassle or holes to drill in your counter. The Smart Shield connects directly to your kitchen sink's cold water line. It only takes a few minutes. All you need is an adjustable wrench and a standard Phillips head screwdriver. This makes the Smart Shield the perfect under counter water filter. - TAP WATER FILTER: Solid carbon block water filter uses depth & adsorption filtration to achieve sub 1 micron contaminant removal. Adsorption removes water particulates via the activated coconut carbon surface areas, which adsorbs contaminants such as cysts, heavy metals, chemicals, pharmaceuticals & herbicides as they try to pass by. Depth filtration (2" thick) involves the removal of suspended waste products as they try to pass by the millions of layers of activated coconut carbon block. - WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM UNDER SINK: The Smart Shield is the perfect under sink water filtration system. It is the ideal kitchen sink filter for well water because it removes bacteria and cysts. BACTERIOSTATIC WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM: Unlike carbon only filters, the inline water filter Smart Shield is bacteriostatic and not susceptible to mold or bacteria growth making it the ideal water filter for sink.

Under Sink Inline NSF 53 Filter. Direct Connect DIY Install For Under Sink. USA Made Tap Filtration System. Zero Wasted - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71togMK1QjL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this filter remove copper?** A: We have had the filter tested for removIng heavy metals (lead & mercury) but not copper. We feel pretty good about copper since it can be easily removed with a filter like this. We will get it tested. Thanks for the question. **Q: How does one know it is time to replace the filter?** A: It just says Average Filter Life: 12+ months, so I'd replace it at least once a year with normal use (or probably sooner with high usage) **Q: does this remove microplastics?** A: The filter is not certified for removal of microplastics . Our in-house testing shows that it achieves a reduction but not enough to be certified for the removal of microplastics **Q: Does this filter remove arsenic as well?** A: <> hold up - So the 2nd image above (top of page) that lists arsenic is just a list of what is in the water, and not what THIS filter removes? That is a bit misleading if so. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by P***R on 23 April 2018* I bought the Epic Smart Shield after doing some research on under the sink units.

There is good water pressure and clean tasty water is now flowing. Our plumber installed the unit with relative ease and showed me just how easy it will be to replace the filters. ## Frequently Bought Together - Epic Water Filters Smart Shield.
