The ability of five tabletop water pitcher filters, listed by the brand name, to remove arsenic (10 μg/L) from soft water. Control represents ICP-MS measurement of the arsenic solution before it was added to the filters. Three lots of each filter were tested, 1 L/filter. *P<0.05 versus 10 μg/L. **P<0.001, indicates that the ZeroWater® filter reduced the arsenic concentration in the filtrate to less than 0.05 μg/L. Data presented as the mean ± SEM. Effluent arsenic concentrations were: ZeroWater® (below detection, 100% removed by filtration), PUR® (6.9 ± 0.6 μg/L, 31% removed by filtration), Brita® (7.7 ± 0.8 μg/L, 23% removed by filtration), HDX® (8.6 ± 0.8 μg/L, 14% removed by filtration), and Great Value® (8.6 ± 0.6 μg/L, 14% removed by filtration).
