Ninja’s First-Ever Water Filter Has Already Won Us Over. Here’s Why
Turning ruby Kool-Aid into pure water was just one of the things that impressed me about Ninja’s new water filter.
A new water filter from Ninja, the first in the company's lineup, has impressed me with its design, features and performance. The $200 HydraSense stands out with its easy-to-use build, custom pour settings and advanced contaminant-removal certifications. Unlike reverse osmosis filters that strip water of minerals, the HydraSense's activated carbon filter preserves essential minerals like calcium, magnesium and potassium, resulting in crisp, clean tasting water.
Ninja's filter is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation to remove chlorine, chloramine, lead, volatile organic compounds, PFAS and microplastics with the same level of rigor as other leading systems. The HydraSense's standout feature is its built-in filter life monitor, alerting you when it's time to replace the filter.
Unlike many other filters, the HydraSense warns you not to change the filter too early or too late, preventing guesswork and ensuring you always use fresh filter media. The filter's lifespan is 120 gallons, with replacement filters costing $40. Unlike most countertop units, the HydraSense offers an immediate water flow thanks to its unique pressure system, making it ideal for those who drink a lot of water or have families.
The machine also includes a slow pour setting for filling ice trays without making a mess, and you can adjust the flow to any ounce pour up to 18 ounces. At a discounted price of $160, the HydraSense offers excellent value, outperforming competitors like the Brita Hub and gravity filters in terms of mineral retention and ease of use. The filter is now available on Ninja's website.
