Review: Quality, Value, and Ease to Install - 5 STARS - 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: Believe It...Very Happy - I was looking at several different under the sink water filters to run to an isolated drinking water faucet. I chose Epic Smart Shield based upon a recommendation from a friend who manages several dozen single family home rentals in Omaha, Nebraska where the municipal water quality has had severe issues. He told me that he installed Epic Filters in all of his rentals because of its outstanding certification standards, ease of installation and the fact it is made in the USA. He also said that these filters have been installed for over six months now with zero problems. This was good enough for me. I purchased the Epic and it arrived within days in quality packaging. The installation would take about 20 minutes with a modern plumbing setup (finding and staging the tools will take as long), my installation took longer due to the fact I was running it to drinking water faucet as opposed to the existing water faucet requiring some additional parts. I could not be happier with the outcome. We live in a rural area of Wisconsin and are on a well with relatively good water quality so I didn't notice much difference in the water quality. However, I have piece of mind that I'm doing all I can to protecting my family's health by ensuring they have the safest drinking and cooking water, especially for our two young children and one on the way. ***UPDATE*** After having the Epic for several weeks now my wife says there is definitely a difference in the taste and mouth feel for the better (I still don't taste it but that doesn't really matter does it). Below are the parts & tools required to install the Epic to an isolated drinking faucet: Drinking Water Faucet, ~$25; Braided Stainless Flexible Water Tube, ~$8; Brass Splitter Connector, ~$7; Step Bit (for drilling into stainless steel sink), $45...Total was less than $100 half of which is the Step Bit. If you can borrow the Step Bit that would be best, it only took about 20 seconds to drill the holes through the inexpensive stainless sink.

## Features

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.

## 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: <<SELLER>> 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This product purifies water, not just make it taste good. We're so impressed that we're buying more to give away.
*by A***R on November 30, 2017*

After extensive research on water filters, including RO filters, my wife and I decided to replace our current water filter with the Epic Smart Shield and we're really glad we did. The immediate result for us was even better tasting water, smoother tasting coffee and about twice the water flow than our previous water filter. We are so impressed with the product that we are going to give each of our sons one for Christmas. Research Summary: We learned that the Epic Smart Shield passed three stringent NSF filtering standards, not just one. It seems that most water filters pass the NSF 42 standard (chlorine, taste, odor, sediments, etc.) and stop there. But the Epic filter goes further by passing the NSF 53 standard (lead, mercury, heavy metals, asbestos, volatile organic chemicals, etc.) and NSF 401 (drugs, pesticides, etc.). We hated the thought of drinking any of that stuff. This time around, getting "purified" water was our goal, not just simply getting water that tasted good. We ruled out reverse osmosis systems because of space, wasting 2X to 4X the amount of water it filtered, and low water flow. Installation Tips: Installation was easy especially with the push-in shark-bite style connections. Make sure to rotate the filter tube until it "snaps" in place. If you need to mount the filter holder on drywall, I recommend using E-Z Ancor drywall anchors, 50 lbs capacity. We prefer to have a dedicated on/off filter faucet (B&K #120-004NL) inserted in the hole that's on the side of the sink. This eliminates using the filter on non-essential uses like washing hands or dishes. Adding the auxiliary faucet takes more time, but to us it was worth it. Bottom Line: This is an excellent, excellent product. We're buying more of them to give away.
