A Moen water filtration system like ChoiceFlo™ offers your family peace-of-mind, convenience and great-tasting water - all for just pennies per glass. Here are some common questions you may have about whether filtered water is right for your family:

Does filtered water taste better than tap water?
  • Since filtered water reduces many impurities, many people notice a difference in taste.
  • Baby formula, lemonade, iced tea and coffee - all taste better with filtered water.

Is filtered water better for my family than tap water?
  • Filtering water reduces harmful contaminants, like lead.
  • According to the EPA, homes built before 1986 are more likely to have lead pipes.
  • In 2003 and 2004, the EPA reported that only 90% of drinking water systems met all applicable health-based drinking water standards. Some areas of the country experienced rates as low as 80%.
To find out how the water quality in your community rates, visit the EPA Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water web page.
