    Our Review

    Brita's Elite (formerly Longlast) filter is the practical mainstream choice: NSF-certified for lead reduction with a long six-month life and availability in every grocery store.

    It won't touch PFAS or fluoride, so it's not for those specific concerns, but for everyday chlorine, taste, and lead reduction at the lowest cost, it remains a sensible default.

    Pros

    • Long 6-month / 120-gallon life
    • NSF-certified lead reduction
    • Cheap and available everywhere

    Cons

    • Doesn't reduce PFAS or fluoride
    • Basic contaminant coverage

    The HU Recommendation

    Fine for taste and basic lead reduction on a budget. If your concern is PFAS or fluoride, step up to a Clearly Filtered or Epic filter instead.
