*Note: Areas with high sediment levels (NYC metro area especially), and people who have well water or in an older home with old pipes), we recommend using our 5 micron Epic Smart Shield Sediment Filter (click here). This will prolong the life of your Smart Shield filter and it is a good idea even if you do not live in these areas to catch larger particles of dirt and debris before they reach your filter.

The dimensions of the Epic Smart Shield are 19 3/4" Tall x 4.5" Deep x 4 1/4" Wide. Remember, the Epic Smart Shield now comes with heavy duty Velcro tape so you no longer have to drill holes, this allows more people with tight spaces under their sink to install the Epic Smart Shield.

Confidence of Clean water

Wonderful to have a single filter with a reasonable small footprint as an undercounter water filter and without the water loss of an RO filter. We have a very small single filter RO on our drinking spout and it's great to have the Epic filter on our cold water faucet too. Just wish the Epic filter took out more chlorine. We lived in Wilmington, DE and the Brandywine watershed has some of the cleanest water on the East Coast. Unfortunately, the workers at the water treatment have little experience and the chlorine from water treatment has been measured as high as 27 ppm. Being able to take out more of the chlorine when high concentrations are presented would give us even more peace of mind.

Great tasting water right from the tap

Very happy with my new Epic Smart Shield water filter. Water from the faucet tastes great and I have peace of mind knowing how well it filters the things I don’t want in my drinking water. Filter doesn’t take up a lot of space under my cabinet and it’s is easy to install.

Met my expectations

It was a snap to install, definitely improved the taste of our town’s tap water, and gave me confidence that we were drinking better water, while cutting the waste of single-use bottles. However, there was quite a noticeable drop in pressure, maybe almost half, which , fortunately, didn’t matter too much to me because I installed it on the supply line to the pot-filler behind the stove and next to the coffee maker. There I can use it for all my cooking and drinking needs (as long as I’m careful not to overfill!). Personally, I think if one was going to install this under the kitchen sink, it would be wise to buy the model with the dedicated faucet, so that a) you wouldn’t use filtered water for dish washing, and b) the sink pressure would not be affected. I know that’s a pain on stone countertops, but would be worth drilling a new hole. But that’s just me, hence the 4 instead of 5 rating.
