Worth knowing
Certified for chlorine, taste and odor only: NSF lists the WD-PF-01A and WD-PF-01A Plus filters in this pitcher under NSF/ANSI 42, for 200 gallons. IAPMO lists a mercury claim under NSF/ANSI 53 for pitchers numbered WDP-PT-05 with a WD-PF01A-P filter, for 100 gallons. Those numbers differ from Waterdrop's own, so the claim is not counted here. Waterdrop rates each filter at 200 gallons or 3 months and sells them only in 3-packs, at $41.99, so one 3-pack is recorded as 600 gallons or 9 months. Waterdrop gives the tank as 7 cups; its comparison chart lists the pitcher at 5.
