Let’s Rewind 3 Months…
When I was first blessed with a Sans Air Purifier for my birthday. I know, not the most glamorous gift—but that’s what presents from your parents look like when you’re 30 and single. From the first day I plugged that baby in, I was hooked. The way it eliminates odors in minutes. The way I no longer wake up with congestion and dry eyes. The fact that it’s cut down on my dusting… My home life has been significantly better these last few months because of my Sans Air Purifier.
I already knew that Sans means business. So when I saw an ad for their new Water Purifier the other day, I didn’t need much convincing to add to cart. In the video, a man pours a bottle of Coca Cola into the water tank, and what comes out into the glass pitcher… is clean water. I thought my Brita was totally fine, but after doing a little research and discovering just how disgusting most at-home water filters are, I threw it away immediately and ordered a Sans Water Purifier. Now I’m recommending it to everyone I know.
Wanna Hear Something Gross?
Yeah you do. Research published in the European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases found in a study of 34 household filters, the filtered water in 24 of them had more bacteria than the tap water. In some cases, the bacterial colony counts of the filtered water were 10,000 times greater than those in the tap water. That’s because most refrigerator filters and pitcher filters (ahem, Brita) use a single carbon filter that removes only the sediment and particulate matter from water—creating a breeding ground for the dangerous microorganisms and bacteria that get stuck in the filter.
In no particular order, here are some of the nasty AF things found in municipal water: forever chemicals like PFOAs, viruses and bacteria, heavy metals, antibiotics, hormones, arsenic, chlorine, fluoride, and microplastics.
That’s where Sans comes in, of course. Their countertop Water Purifier ($399) features a 4-stage Reverse Osmosis filter which removes impurities down to 0.0001 microns in size, with a UV-C light that kills pathogens like viruses and bacteria. This next-level filtration system removes up to 99% of harmful contaminants, making it up to 5x more effective than traditional water filters.
The Filter Works in 4 Simple Steps
- Sediment and Carbon Pre-Filter: removes silt, debris, and other suspended solids.
- Ultrafine Reverse Osmosis Filter: eliminates up to 99% of contaminants like heavy metals, chemicals, forever chemicals such as PFAS, and microplastics.
- Dedicated VOC Filter: the dense activated carbon absorbs Volatile Organic Compounds like Benzene, Formaldehyde, and Trichlorethylene, as well as unpleasant odors and taste
- UV-C Light: acts as a final defense against contaminated water and keeps the machine itself clean.
Unlike my Brita filter, which needed to be changed every 2 months (though I hardly ever did), the Sans filters last 12-24 months. The Carbon Pre-Filter ($34.99) and VOC Carbon Filter ($34.99) need to be replaced every 12 months, while the Reverse Osmosis Filter ($59.99) is good to go for 2 years. That means the filter replacements come to $97.50 per year.
Why I Won’t Shut Up About This Water Purifier
Besides the fact that it removes all of the BS from my water, there are a few things that set the Sans Water Purifier apart from the other options out there.
The Water Tastes Amazing
Turns out, chemicals and heavy metals make your water taste terrible. So when I took the first sip of water from my Sans, I nearly dropped my glass. It tastes like it came straight from the Alps: crisp, clean, and pure. Then, I made coffee with it. When I tell you that I didn’t know what coffee was supposed to taste like until I tried it with Sans-pure water, I’m not exaggerating.
It’s Easy on the Eyes
From the sleek lines to the high tech-looking digital display, the Sans Water Purifier looks like it jumped out of the pages of a Crate and Barrel catalog. And unlike the clunky plastic eyesore I used to have, the included glass pitcher looks just as great on my dining table as it does in my fridge.
Convenient Setup and Zero Installation
Apparently, setting up a normal Reverse Osmosis filtration system is a lot of drama. First, it takes up a ton of space under your kitchen sink. Second, it requires a whole installation process… and ain’t nobody got the time for that. Sans’ clever countertop design gives best-in-class purification with no installation needed.
Auto-Filling and Instant Heat
She’s got range. The system automatically dispenses water into the pitcher if it’s sitting in the dock (it takes about 2 and a half minutes to fill it completely), ensuring I always have a full pitcher of water ready to go. I usually toss it into the fridge and refill it as needed. On top of that, there’s an instant hot water setting—so I can dispense hot water for tea straight from my Sans in seconds.
It Monitors My Water Quality in Real Time
Just like my Sans Air Purifier, my Water Purifier uses SmartPure technology—which features a precise TDS sensor and a digital display that gives me a readout of the total dissolved solids in the water. It also tells me when it’s time to replace the filters.
Is This Water Purifier Expensive? For Sure, But It’s Worth It.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I could put a price on the peace of mind I have now that I’m no longer downing bacteria, forever chemicals, heavy metals, and microplastics every time I take a sip of water.
And speaking of peace of mind… Sans offers a 30 day risk-free trial with free returns, so if you’re unsure about it, you can always try it out for a month at no cost. Standard shipping is fast and free, and they offer the ability to pay in installments (as low as $18.46/month or split into four payments of $100.00). Finally, the Sans Water Purifier is backed by an industry-leading 3-year warranty.
We can’t control what’s in our tap water, but with Sans’ Water Purifier, we can make sure it’s as clean and pure as possible for ourselves and our families. Water is one of our most basic needs—so isn’t that worth investing in?
