Great question, TMC. The water filter can filter out up to 80% more contaminants than other leading private-label brands.
You should know that herbicides, pesticides, lead, mercury, asbestos, and even pharmaceuticals like ibuprofen, carbamazepine, and a whole lot of other hard-to-pronounce chemicals are all filtered out by Samsung. So you can rest (and drink easy)
Thank you for being a valued customer of Samsung. Have a great day.
