Ever told a home improvement store salesman "I rent" just to end an awkward conversation? You’re not alone.

A decade after the housing crisis, more U.S. households are headed by renters than at any point in the last 50 years (Pew Research Center analysis of Census Bureau housing data). Yet, many renters assume they have no say in their home’s water quality—which couldn’t be further from the truth.

The reality? You don’t need to own a home to enjoy safe, high-quality filtered water.

Whether you're in an apartment, condo, or rental home, there are non-permanent, landlord-friendly filtration options available.

We hear these concerns all the time:

❌ "I don’t want to spend money on a system I’ll have to leave behind."
❌ "My landlord won’t approve the installation."
❌ "I’m not allowed to permanently install anything."

At Clearly Filtered, we’ve designed our filtration systems with renters in mind. Our systems:

✔ Require no permanent modifications – No drilling, no complex installation.
✔ Are easy to set up and remove – Move to a new home? Take your filter with you!
✔ Provide advanced filtration without a complicated process – Just clean, safe water on your terms.

Each Clearly Filtered water filtration system features our Affinity® Filtration Technology, which is a unique blend of filtration media that work together to provide you with the cleanest and safest water.

Filtered Water Pitcher with Affinity Filtration Technology:

This sleek, compact pitcher works for everyone and fits anywhere – whether you keep it on the counter or in your fridge, you can be sure that you’ll always have clean water on hand...

Plus, it's the only pitcher on the planet proven to protect you from 365+ contaminants (including PFAS, lead, and fluoride)—without removing healthy minerals from your water. 

✅ Filters up to 99.9% of 365+ contaminants, including PFAS, lead, and fluoride
✅ Compact & portable – Store it on the counter or in the fridge
✅ Made from 100% BPA/BPS-free medical-grade Tritan® plastic
✅ Long-lasting filter – Each filter lasts up to 100 gallons (about 4 months for an average household)

Keep in mind: The lifespan of any water filter depends on your water quality and household usage (e.g., drinking, cooking, showering, watering plants, etc.). More people and more usage = more frequent filter replacements.

Filtered Water Bottles:

Want clean water on the go? Our filtered water bottles ensure you always have clean, safe water handy—whether at home, work, the gym, or traveling.

A filtered water bottle provides advanced filtration anywhere, using a built-in filter that removes contaminants with every sip.

✅ Available in three world-class materials – Double-walled stainless steel, Tritan® plastic, and ultra-durable glass.
✅ Filters last for 25 gallons – Replace every 1-4 months, depending on usage and bottle size.
✅ Great for travel & outdoor adventures – Enjoy clean water from any tap or fountain.

Perfect for renters who want a secondary filtration option in addition to an at-home system.

3-Stage Under the Sink System:

Let clean water flow from any sink with this multi-purpose option that makes life easier.

It's the perfect system for renters looking for a powerful yet removable filtration system for endless flow of clean, cool water to drink with, cook with, clean with, and more.

While under-sink filtration systems are typically associated with permanent installations, Clearly Filtered's 3-Stage Under-Sink System is different.

✅ No need to mount the system, but a hanging bracket is included for those who prefer it
✅ No separate spigot required – Uses your existing faucet
✅ Quick & easy filter replacement – No need to turn off the water supply
✅ Long-lasting filters – Each filter lasts 9–15 months, depending on usage

💬 One of our customers put it best:
"It took me longer to clean out the space under my sink than it did to install the filters. Should have done this a long time ago."

Universal Inline Fridge Filter:

Enjoy safe, clean, filtered water right from your refrigerator dispenser or ice maker—without messing with its warranty (and without a plumber, power tools, or anything else that would worry your landlord).

Instead of replacing your fridge’s built-in filter (which may not remove all contaminants), Clearly Filtered's Universal Inline Fridge Filter connects to your refrigerator’s water line—providing a more effective filtration solution:

✅ Compatible with any refrigerator – Doesn’t plug directly into the appliance, so it shouldn't void your warranty
✅ Long-lasting filter – The average customer replaces the filters just once per year
✅ Easy installation – One-way lock valves make setup simple

Important Note for Renters: Moving your fridge and attaching anything to the water line should be approved by your landlord first.

Being a renter doesn’t mean sacrificing water quality. You have options—and they don’t involve expensive, permanent installations.

At Clearly Filtered, we provide portable, high-performance water filtration systems that don't require a plumber or power tools to use.

Still have questions? Our customer experience team is happy to help—many of them are renters themselves!
