Are cheap faucet filters as good as the expensive ones?

Inexpensive Faucet Filters

If you're looking to save a few bucks, think twice before you choose the inexpensive faucet filter over the more expensive version. The least expensive faucet filters are built to improve the taste of water. They're virtually ineffective in combatting harmful pathogens. Because most drinking water in the U.S. is considered safe to drink, this may be all you need. However, if you have reason to be concerned about the health risks associated with your drinking water, you'll save more in the long run by choosing a more expensive faucet filter that filters harmful bacteria and pathogens.
