Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
You have an infant and want a soft spout cover that cushions accidental bumps during bath time
A built-in temperature indicator would help you set a safe bath temperature without a separate thermometer
Your tap water is chloraminated and you want media that addresses chloramine, not just basic chlorine
You prefer a filter that an independent lab has actually tested rather than one resting on brand claims alone
You want to use it as marketed, at a bathroom sink for face washing, and value published lab reductions over flow-rate confirmation
Your water is treated with chloramine and you want a filter with measured chloramine reduction
You want a filter that threads onto the faucet in minutes and swaps cartridges with no tools
Seeing an outside accredited lab's test results matters more to you than a formal certification
The main thing to know
At a normal tub-fill speed it removes about half the chlorine; to get near-complete removal you have to run the tap slowly, which takes much longer to fill the tub.
Filterbaby publishes accredited lab results for chlorine and chloramine, but no flow-rate-specified chlorine test, no heavy-metal leaching test, and no gallon capacity rating, so the questions that matter most for a baby's bath stay unanswered at the highest price in the category.
Skip this if you...
You need the most chlorine possible removed at full fill speed, where a faster-acting filter would serve you better
You want a filter backed by a published third-party certification rather than a tested-to-standard claim
You already own a spout cover and thermometer and only need raw filtration for the lowest price
You need confirmed chlorine removal at real tub-fill speed before putting a filter in your baby's bath
You want to know how many gallons a cartridge lasts, not just a three-month estimate
You need a test or certification confirming the filter does not add metals back into the water
You expect a soft spout cover or scald protection built into a tub filter
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
