About AquaGroove

What We Do
AquaGroove is an independent reference site for home water filtration. We track replacement filters, under-sink and reverse osmosis systems, filter pitchers, water dispensers, coolers, faucet filters and water softeners sold in the United States. Our goal is to give you accurate, spec-driven information so you can choose the right product for your water quality and budget without wading through marketing copy.
How Our Rankings Work
Every product in our database is evaluated on purification method, available certifications, capacity or filter life, price and verified owner demand drawn from real buyer data. We do not rank products by ad spend or brand relationships. Products that fail our minimum quality gates, which include a rating floor, a real-brand check and a verified demand threshold, are excluded from our recommendation lists entirely.
Our Team
Elena Marsh is our senior water-filtration editor, focused on how purification method, certification and capacity hold up against the price across filters, under-sink systems and RO units. Ray Calderon writes our buying guides for pitchers, dispensers, coolers and softeners, turning specs and owner feedback into plain advice. The AquaGroove research team compiles our rankings from purification method, certification, capacity, price and verified owner demand across the full catalog we track.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
We correct errors as soon as we find them. Certifications are noted only when the manufacturer has published supporting documentation, such as an NSF listing or a third-party test report. We do not make medical or health claims. If you spot an error or have a question about our data, reach us at [email protected].
