GlacierFresh Stainless Steel Gravity Water Filter vs Boroux Legacy 3-Gallon Gravity Filter

Both are gravity-fed stainless steel countertop filters with no plumbing or power. The Boroux Legacy is the better pick for most households: it is certified by WQA to NSF/ANSI 42, 401 and 372, removes up to 99.97% of contaminants including lead and PFAS, and its two included filters last about 12 months. The GlacierFresh has a wider, shorter body, a filter-life indicator on the lid and a 2-year warranty, but owners report slow flow, little drop in TDS and hard-to-get replacement filters. Reviewers of both praise the steel build and clean taste; the Boroux draws far more ratings and fewer complaints.

• Choose the GlacierFresh if you want a shorter, wider unit that fits under a cabinet, a lid filter-life indicator and a 2-year warranty, and you accept slow flow and a 3-month filter change.
• Choose the Boroux Legacy if you want third-party WQA certification for lead and PFAS, filters rated for a year, and an included priming tool that cuts setup to minutes.
