Recommended for Eveleth tap water
Pitcher filter
Epic Pure XP Water Filter Pitcher
NSF-certified dual-layer filtration reduces 70+ contaminants including PFAS, lead, chlorine, microplastics, and bacteria.
The health risk for Eveleth
PFAS traces were detected in local water tests, though levels are currently below EPA limits. Since no amount of PFAS is considered completely safe by health researchers, a certified filter adds a meaningful layer of protection — especially for children.
- PFAS or other chemicals detected; no confirmed exceedances in multiple samples.
