Quick Take
Score: 8.5/10 | The Woder 10K-Gen3 is the value champion of under-sink filtration. At $55 with 10,000-gallon capacity, it costs roughly $0.006 per gallon - less than any pitcher or competing under-sink system.
Safety Analysis (40% weight) - Score: 8.5/10
NSF 42 and 53 Certified
The Woder holds NSF 42 certification for chlorine, taste, and odor plus NSF 53 certification for lead and heavy metals. Independent testing confirms 99.6% lead reduction.
Contaminant Removal
Removes chlorine, lead, mercury, chromium-6, and heavy metals. Does NOT hold NSF P473 certification for PFAS - families with forever chemical concerns should consider Clearly Filtered or Aquasana instead.
Direct Water Line Connection
Connects directly to your cold water line with included fittings. No separate faucet required - filtered water comes from your existing faucet.
Efficacy Analysis (35% weight) - Score: 8.2/10
10,000-Gallon Capacity
This is the standout feature. At 3 gallons daily for a family of four, the filter lasts over 9 years theoretically. Woder recommends replacement every 3 years regardless of capacity to ensure optimal performance.
Flow Rate: 2 GPM
Two gallons per minute is excellent for an under-sink filter - no waiting for water to fill containers.
Selective Filtration
Woder uses selective filtration that removes contaminants while retaining beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium. Unlike RO systems, you keep the good stuff.
Value Analysis (15% weight) - Score: 9.2/10
Price: $54.99
Remarkably affordable for a 10,000-gallon NSF-certified filter.
Cost Per Gallon: $0.006
The lowest cost-per-gallon of any filter we have tested:
- Woder 10K: $0.006/gallon
- Brita Elite: $0.13/gallon
- Clearly Filtered: $0.45/gallon
3-Year Replacement Cycle
One filter every 3 years at $55 = $18/year. Unbeatable value.
The Bottom Line
The Woder 10K-Gen3 is the best value in water filtration for families who want solid lead and chlorine removal without premium pricing or frequent filter changes. The lack of PFAS certification is the only significant limitation.
