Everpure water filter review: the H-Series, EF-1500 and their listings
5 under-sink filters, $367.93 to $696.72. An Everpure water filter is a Pentair product: Pentair owns the brand, and everpure.com now redirects to Pentair’s site. As of October 15, 2026, NSF lists all five Everpure home systems I priced for lead, cysts and microplastics: the H-104, H-300, H-300-NXT, H-1200 and EF-1500. Only the H-1200 is listed for chloramine, and only it carries a total PFAS listing, from IAPMO. Many Everpure cartridges sold online are restaurant filters for ice machines and coffee brewers, not home systems.

Verdict: which Everpure system fits and where to look instead
The H-1200 is listed by NSF for chlorine and chloramine, lead, cysts, VOCs, MTBE and microplastics, and by IAPMO for total PFAS. It’s also the most expensive Everpure: $696.72 (checked Oct 15, 2026) on Amazon, plus $299 a year for the cartridge pair.
The H-104 takes one 1,000-gallon cartridge a year, $109.24 as of October 15, 2026. It’s listed for lead, cysts and microplastics, not VOCs or chloramine.
The H-300 adds a VOC listing, but its 300-gallon cartridge costs $199.40 as of October 15, 2026, about 66 cents a gallon: six times the H-104 rate.
The H-300-NXT is listed for six pharmaceuticals and chemicals, ibuprofen and BPA among them. Its Amazon title says VOCs, but its NSF listing doesn’t.
The EF-1500 needs no extra faucet and runs 2.2 gpm, over four times the H-Series flow. It has no VOC, chloramine or PFAS listing.
The Aquasana Claryum Direct Connect is listed for chloramine, lead, cysts, VOCs, PFOA/PFOS and microplastics, costs $249.99 (checked Oct 13, 2026) and connects to the faucet you already have.
Alternatives worth considering

Matched by type, price and listing, the closest system with a store link is the Kohler Aquifer+ Two-Stage (K-29638) for the H-104, H-300, H-300-NXT, H-1200 and EF-1500. The Claryum Direct Connect is the closest match to the H-1200’s listings, and like the EF-1500 it works with your existing faucet. Its 784-gallon cartridge lasts 6 months, so two a year come to about 184 at October 13, 2026 prices. The Claryum 3-stage has its own faucet, like the H-Series, and costs about 168 a year in filters.
Pentair also sells home filters under its own name. The FreshPoint F2000 is a two-cartridge system with a side faucet, like the H-1200, listed by IAPMO for total PFAS, but not for chloramine or VOCs. The FreshPoint Easy Flow connects to your existing faucet, like the EF-1500, and adds PFOA/PFOS. Both run about 87 a year in cartridges as of October 15, 2026. The Epic Smart Shield, at $129, is listed for chloramine and VOCs and comes with a 3-year warranty, but has no PFAS listing.
All under-sink systems are compared in the best under-sink water filters, and every filter type in our water filter guide. See also our Pentair review and Aquasana review.
Who makes Everpure: Pentair, restaurants and a home line
Pentair does. The Everpure brand page on pentair.com calls it “one of the most recognized brands amongst foodservice operators” and describes the home systems as commercial-grade filtration for the home.
The listings split the same way. NSF lists the home systems under Pentair Residential Filtration, LLC, with the trade name Everpure Residential. The restaurant line is listed under Everpure LLC: 1,287 NSF rows on October 15, 2026, for Insurice ice machine cartridges, Coldrink and MC² fountain filters, coffee filters and the Conserv and EZ-RO reverse osmosis systems. Two NSF/ANSI 58 rows are versions of the MRS-600HE-II reverse osmosis system labeled Starbucks.
Pentair’s other home filters, FreshPoint, OMNIFilter, Pentek and Pelican, are covered in our Pentair review.
Everpure home systems: H-104, H-300, H-300-NXT, H-1200 and EF-1500
I found six Everpure home systems on Pentair’s site and priced them on Amazon on October 15, 2026. Amazon.com itself sold and shipped the five in our database.
| System | Faucet | Listed for | Cartridge | Flow | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| H-104 | Own side faucet | Lead, cysts, microplastics | 1,000 gallons | 0.5 gpm | $455.89 |
| H-300 | Own side faucet | Lead, cysts, VOCs, microplastics | 300 gallons | 0.5 gpm | $439.69 |
| H-300-NXT | Own side faucet | Lead, cysts, 6 pharmaceuticals and chemicals, microplastics | 300 gallons | 0.5 gpm | $549.51 |
| H-1200 | Own side faucet | Chloramine, lead, cysts, VOCs, MTBE, total PFAS, microplastics | Two, 1,000 gallons | 0.5 gpm | $696.72 |
| H-54 | Own side faucet | Lead, cysts, microplastics | 750 gallons | 0.5 gpm | $466.06 |
| EF-1500 | Existing faucet | Lead, cysts, microplastics | 1,500 gallons | 2.2 gpm | $367.93 |
The H-Series name covers the H-104, H-300, H-300-NXT, H-54 and H-1200. All of them need a separate drinking water faucet, so you need a spare hole in the sink or countertop. Pentair’s page lists a chrome faucet with the H-1200. The cartridges twist into the head, and the H-104 spec sheet lists a built-in shutoff for changes.
The EF-1500 is the full-flow version: it sits on the cold line to the faucet you already have, at 2.2 gpm. NSF also lists the EF-3000 and EF-6000, with 3,000- and 6,000-gallon cartridges. On October 15, 2026, the EF-3000 system sold for $280.00 on Amazon, less than the EF-1500. Pentair says the EF-1500 and H-300-NXT are available in select US markets only.
Is Everpure NSF certified? What each listing covers
Yes. On October 15, 2026, I read the 43 NSF rows under the Everpure Residential trade name and the IAPMO certificate for the H-1200. Here’s what each standard covers for the home systems.
- NSF/ANSI 53, health contaminants: lead and cysts for all six. VOCs as a class only for the H-300 and H-1200, and MTBE only for the H-1200.
- NSF/ANSI 42, taste and odor: chlorine and particulate class I for all six. Chloramine only for the H-1200.
- NSF/ANSI 401, emerging contaminants: microplastics for all six. The H-300-NXT adds BPA, estrone, ibuprofen, naproxen, nonylphenol and phenytoin.
- IAPMO certificate 19673, NSF/ANSI 53: total PFAS for the H-1200, the only Everpure home system with a PFAS listing. Pentair’s page says it reduces “up to 99.6% of total PFAS”; that’s the brand’s number, not the listing’s.
None of the six is listed for fluoride, arsenic, nitrate or bacteria. For fluoride or arsenic you need a reverse osmosis system. See the best reverse osmosis systems. The H-300-NXT’s Amazon title also says it reduces VOCs, but its NSF/ANSI 53 listing covers lead and cysts only.
A listing doesn’t tell you what’s in your tap water. A water test does, and our list of lead-certified water filters covers every lead listing in our database. The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water treatment device are not necessarily in your water.
Everpure replacement cartridges: cost per year and per gallon
Pentair rates every home cartridge for up to 1 year or its gallon capacity, whichever comes first. I priced the replacements on Amazon on October 15, 2026.
| Cartridge | Fits | Rated life | Price | Per gallon |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EV961211 | H-104 | 1 year or 1,000 gallons | $109.24 | 11¢ |
| EV927072 | H-300 | 1 year or 300 gallons | $199.40 | 66¢ |
| EV927441 | H-300-NXT | 1 year or 300 gallons | $177.44 | 59¢ |
| EV928201 set | H-1200 | 1 year or 1,000 gallons | $299.00 | 30¢ |
| EV925268 | H-54 | 1 year or 750 gallons | $128.66 | 17¢ |
| EV985850 | EF-1500 | 1 year or 1,500 gallons | $138.52 | 9¢ |
Gallons matter more than price here. The 300-gallon H-300 and H-300-NXT cartridges last a year only if you drink under a gallon a day. At 2 gallons a day, they last about 5 months. The H-104 and H-1200 cartridges last 1,000 gallons, about 2.7 gallons a day over a year.
The H-1200 takes two cartridges, and its spec sheet says to replace both at the same time. Amazon.com sold every cartridge above except the H-1200 set, which came from a third-party seller on October 15, 2026.
Everpure for restaurants: Insurice, MC² and coffee filters
Search Amazon for an Everpure water filter and most results are restaurant cartridges. On October 15, 2026, the top ones included the Insurice i2000² for ice machines at $109.22, the MC² at $104.26, the 4C at $60.80 and the OCS2 coffee cartridge at $59.38.
These fit Everpure’s commercial filter heads, not the home H-Series. If you’re replacing one at work, match the part number on the old cartridge. They aren’t in our database: we cover home systems.
The same goes for the Everpure RO system. NSF lists the Conserv 75E and EZ-RO reverse osmosis systems under NSF/ANSI 58 for Everpure LLC, as part of the commercial line. For a home reverse osmosis system, see our Pentair review.
What Everpure owners say
I read the Amazon review summaries for the five systems and their cartridges on October 15, 2026. Owners like the taste and the easy installation. The complaints are about the cartridges: leaks after a change, slow flow and filters that wear out early.
H-1200. 4.3/5 from 74 Amazon ratings. 17 of 22 reviews that mention water flow are positive, 18 of 20 that mention taste and 12 of 13 that mention installation. On the cartridge set page, 4.5/5 from 358 ratings, 14 of 21 reviews that mention filter life and 25 of 40 that mention value for money are negative.
H-104. 4.4/5 from 70 ratings for the system. The EV961211 cartridge has 4.6/5 from 1,324 ratings: 95 of 104 reviews that mention installation are positive, and 15 of 19 that mention leakage are negative.
H-300 and H-300-NXT. The H-300 system has only 15 ratings, 4.3/5, and the H-300-NXT 4.6/5 from 55 ratings. The H-300 cartridge has the most ratings of the parts I checked, 4.5/5 from 2,251. 108 of 124 reviews that mention taste are positive. 52 of 67 that mention leakage and 28 of 41 that mention water flow are negative.
EF-1500. 4.2/5 from 56 ratings, with 11% at 1 star. 4 of 8 reviews that mention functionality are negative. On the cartridge page, 8 of 9 reviews that mention leakage are negative.
Everpure warranty and returns
The Everpure limited warranty from Pentair Residential Filtration covers filtration systems for 1 year, cartridges excluded, and cartridges for 1 year. Faucets get 3 years with a coated finish and 5 years without. Reverse osmosis systems get 1 year from the date of manufacture.
The warranty goes to the party that bought directly from Pentair. If you bought from a store or a dealer, the warranty says to start the claim with that seller, so keep the receipt.
Returns are set by the store. On October 15, 2026, Amazon.com sold all five home systems with free 30-day returns.
