    How to choose

    Filter, crock or stand

    A filter system cleans water through a ceramic filter, a crock holds a jug for dispensing, and a stand holds bottles and crocks off the floor. The Doulton filters water through ceramic, the Geo holds water in a porcelain ceramic crock, and the ETELI holds bottles and crocks on a stand. Check whether you need filtration, a crock or a stand before you buy.

    Capacity and size

    Capacity sets how much water a system or crock holds, and size sets where it fits. The Doulton holds 1.58 gallons, the Geo fits 3 to 5 gallon jugs and measures 9.5 inches tall and 9.75 inches wide, and the ETELI measures 12.9 inches by 13.3 inches by 36.5 inches. Measure your counter or corner before you buy, and check the height against the space under a cabinet or shelf.

    Materials and upkeep

    The Doulton uses ceramic and stainless steel, the Geo uses porcelain ceramic with a stainless steel faucet, and the ETELI uses metal and MDF board. Wipe the faucet and lid after use, and check the filter life on the Doulton, at 6 months, before you buy a replacement.
