What this site is
FilterWorth helps people choose a countertop or compact water filter for their space, budget and routine, and work out what it will really cost to run. It explains the decisions, compares exact models from their published documents, and is plain about what isn't known.
What it is not
- Not a shop. You can't buy anything here. Product links go to the merchant's own site.
- Not a manufacturer. FilterWorth makes no water filters.
- Not a laboratory. We don't test water or filters. Unless an article says otherwise, we haven't used the products hands-on.
- Not a source of medical advice. If you are worried about your water and your health, your water utility, your state drinking water program and your doctor are the right places to go.
Who publishes it
FilterWorth is owned and published by Charles McQuain.
How guides are made
Guides are drafted with an AI model from primary sources, then checked claim by claim against those sources. Each guide says who drafted it, when it was checked, and whether the publisher has personally reviewed it. The editorial policy has the details.
How the site makes money
FilterWorth plans to earn commissions through merchant affiliate programs. No link on the site earns anything today. The affiliate disclosure explains how that will work and how links are labeled.
