The Multipure Aquadome Counter Top Water Filter System is recommended for anyone who wants a water filter that sits on their counter instead of one that is placed under the counter which often requires a plumber to install. The Aquadome can be installed by anyone in under an hour as it requires no plumbing or drilling.
There are many reasons why one may choose to have a counter top system but the most common one is if you are renting an apartment so do not want to get involved with plumbing or possibly drilling a hole in your sink top (in case there is not one already in place).
Note that all our water filters have the same basic carbon block filter except for our Aquaperform (for those who need to filter arsenic) and the AquaRO for those who want to filter more impurities at the expense of also removing the healthful minerals.
There is no difference between the filtration capability of the Aquadome counter top model and the Aquaversa counter top model. The main difference is that the housing for the Aquadome is polypropylene and the housing for all our other models is stainless steel. Both are NSF Certified to reduce over 65 contaminants of health concern.
