About Water Clarity
Water Clarity exists to help homeowners make confident, informed decisions about their drinking water. Water treatment is full of confusing jargon, mixed advice, and products that look similar on the surface but perform very differently in real life. We cut through the noise with clear, practical guidance—so you can understand your options, choose the right system, and enjoy cleaner, better-tasting water at home.
Our work centers on deep research and structured comparisons. We evaluate water filters, reverse osmosis systems, whole-house filtration, water softeners, and related purification products by digging into the details that matter: what a system is designed to reduce, how it’s built, how much water it can handle, how fast it flows, how often filters need replacing, and what long-term ownership looks like. Instead of relying on hype, we focus on verifiable specs, third-party certifications where available, and consistency across manufacturer documentation and independent testing reports.
Water Clarity also helps you solve specific water problems—because “best” depends on what you’re dealing with. City water and well water have different challenges, and concerns like chlorine taste, hardness scale, iron staining, sulfur odor, PFAS, fluoride, nitrates, and microplastics often require different treatment approaches. We publish dedicated contaminant guides and “best for” recommendations so you can match the right filtration method to your water source, household size, budget, and goals.
Above all, we aim to make water treatment simple, honest, and useful. Our guides and reviews are written for real homes and real people, with straightforward explanations and practical next steps. Whether you’re choosing your first under-sink filter or building a full whole-house setup, Water Clarity is here to help you get it right the first time—and feel great about the water you use every day.

Brendan Callaghan is the Lead Editor at Water Clarity and a trusted water expert with 15 years of experience in residential water filtration and more than 30 years in plumbing.

Brendan’s expertise is in customizing water filtration setups that actually fit real homes and real water. He looks at the full picture: whether you’re on city water or a private well, your household size and daily usage, your plumbing layout and water pressure, and the particular problems you want to solve—hardness scale, chlorine taste and odor, iron staining, sulfur smell, nitrates, PFAS concerns, and more. His goal is always the same: help homeowners choose a system that delivers meaningful improvement without unnecessary complexity or maintenance.
At Water Clarity, Brendan leads the editorial approach behind product reviews and “best of” guides. He’s known for breaking down confusing specs into plain English, comparing products on the things that matter (performance, flow rate, upkeep costs, certifications, and long-term reliability), and highlighting who a system is best for—so readers can buy with confidence. He’s also passionate about helping people avoid common mistakes, like oversizing or undersizing a system, ignoring prefiltration needs, or choosing the wrong solution for well-water conditions.
Brendan believes the best water advice is practical and transparent: prioritize what you can verify, match the system to your water and your lifestyle, and focus on solutions that provide consistent results over time. Whether you’re looking for better-tasting drinking water, whole-home protection, or a setup that can handle challenging well water, his work is built to help you make a clear, informed decision.
