When shopping for a cheap water filter, check to see what they filter compared to what you need filtered according to a test of your water. Common pollutants include sediment, copper, chlorine, mercury, lead and microbiological cysts. The cost of replacement filters and how often they need changing is another consideration when choosing a cheap water filter system. Most discount water filters need replacement filters every 40 to 100 gallons of water, or every two to four months. How much water the pitcher or dispenser holds is only relevant for pour-through systems, and your choice of size will depend on family size and refrigerator space. Extras in cheap water filter systems include an indicator to notify users when it's time to replace the filter, a flip-top lid for easy refilling, a pour spout for easy pouring, and different flavor options for flavored water.
