Where do I even start! We have well water and I never liked the taste of it or felt fully safe drinking it. This beautiful water filter popped up on my TikTok and I could not stop thinking about it! Finally decided to buy this and my only regret is not getting it sooner!

I was so excited to invest in better water and throw out my plastic filter. This is a gorgeous piece of art and it is by far the best water I have ever had!

The Stillwater Well has been a game changer for our family! Its size is perfect for a family because there’s minimal refilling, and it is so beautifully made. I love that it is handcrafted in America and third party tested to ensure the highest quality! This will be a generational piece that we can have for years to come.

Not only is the Stillwater Well a BEAUTIFUL addition to our home, but also to our health! The difference in taste & quality of our water is unmatched – I’ll never go back to using any other water filter. I couldn’t recommend a product or company more.

We absolutely love our Stillwater well! We spent a lot of time researching different options because clean drinking water is important to our family. This was definitely an investment, but one we would make again without hesitation.

The water tastes so fresh and clean, and we love not having to buy bottled water thus adding more unnecessary plastic into our lives. Reducing our exposure to microplastics was important, and this was one simple change we could make every day.

Honestly, it's one of those purchases that makes me wonder why we didn't do it sooner!

We’ve had ours for about 2 weeks now and I am so so so glad we chose this system. It’s gorgeous for one, the water taste amazing and it gives me a peace of mind. I’m such a water snob and always have been and i genuinely love the taste of this water after running through the filter. Highly recommend!!

I love my Stillwater Well so much! I’d been wanting a water filter that would remove fluoride as well as all the other stuff but wasn’t thrilled with the looks of the water filters out there. When I found this one that is beautiful as well as functional I was all in. And my water has never tasted so good! The handmade craftsmanship is over-the-top awesome too. I’d recommend this for every home.

It arrived today, packed so wonderfully with so much thoughtfulness and attention to detail (the magnet was a beautiful touch!) something you can only get from a homemade item.

Very small gripe— paid an extra $10 for the brass spigot, assuming it would be brass. It’s actually copper (common confusion between the two for a lot of people, copper is orange in color, brass is like gold in color.) Therefore the spigot doesn’t match the brass fixtures in our kitchen. But no harm, no foul. Ordered a brass one from Amazon for around the same price.

Still overall overjoyed with our purchase and so happy to support a small business with people’s health in mind. It’s pricey but as the old adage goes, “buy it nice or buy it thrice.”

I’m enjoying my new water well. It’s beautiful and the water quality is great. Everything came very well packaged and loved the personal note on the box. I also really liked that the stand can be used as a bowl to make bread in it.

Absolutely LOVE our Hillside water well! 🤍 The aesthetic alone is a huge plus, haha! But more importantly, the water is SO good! I love that it filters out all the bad stuff while leaving the natural minerals, so the water actually tastes like water should fresh, clean, and delicious! 💧

The hardest part was definitely waiting to get one and trying to beat everyone else with those fast cart fingers 😂 But honestly, I completely understand the high demand and wait because the quality of this well is SO worth it!

Thank You Hillside Hime store! We will be enjoying so much water! 🫶🏼

Love my Stillwater Well! The challenge and multiple trys until I finally timed it just right to be able to secure my order was intense! The elation when I saw the confirmed order! Does not compare to the joy when I finally received it. It is truly GORGEOUS. LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I am planning to go back and order the pitcher and the cutting board and all the things. I'm hooked and love your products. The quality and craftsmanship and knowing I am drinking healthy clean water is such a relief. And...THE WATER TASTES LIKE WATER SHOULD TASTE!!! I use it all the time now. Highly recommend!

Love it! Remarkable difference in the taste of the water. Even my dog is drinking more water. It is also beautiful. Not a big metal obtrusive thing. It is delicate as it is ceramic so be careful opening the packages. Our lid was not well wrapped and broke but the team was quick to replace. Will certainly be purchasing another unit.

Beautiful piece. Packaged very well and looks great in my kitchen. I am in the process of priming the filter right now, but I can't wait to try the filtered water!

We have had our Stillwater Well for almost 9 months! The quality of the ceramic is top notch. It’s truly a beautiful piece and my favorite thing on the counter. We had another name brand filter before this one. The Pleated Filter blows it out of the water in filtration time and taste. I feel so safe using this water with my kids!

Fantastic product. I looked and researched for months the best water filter and found Hillside. The filter is third party tested and the ceramic is finished with a lead-free glaze. Water tastes amazing!

had such an incredible experience with The Stillwater Well — their customer service was truly above and beyond from start to finish. The filter itself is not only aesthetically beautiful, but the water tastes like the freshest spring water you could imagine.
As a busy mom, I love that it filters water faster than I can keep up most days — it’s made our routine so much easier. Absolutely worth every penny!!

FAQs

The Pleated Filter reduces PFAS, fluoride, chlorine, lead, VOCs, heavy metals,
pharmaceuticals, pesticides, microplastics, and more.

The Pleated Filter is rated for up to 1,100 gallons, which lasts most families about one year. We recommend replacing it annually regardless of gallons filtered.

We recommend monthly cleanings of the ceramic with dish soap and water. During cleanings, simply rinse the pleated shell of your filter under cool water.

The Stillwater Well is made from thick-walled, high-fire stoneware ceramic designed for real daily use in busy homes.

Yes. The Pleated Filter reduces many common well water contaminants, including bacteria.

No. The Stillwater Well does not remove naturally occurring minerals from your water.

The Pleated Filter uses NSF-certified polymer end caps made from a very stable industry-standard material. In a gravity system, these parts are not exposed to heat or friction. The filtration media itself is activated carbon + electrokinetic nanofiber technology designed to reduce contaminants including microplastics.

Yes. The filter inside the Stillwater Well is third-party tested. Those results can be found on our lab testing page.

The filter inside the Stillwater Well has been tested and certified for NSF Standard 42, which ensures material safety and certifies water filters for reducing aesthetic contaminants like chlorine, taste, and odor.

Our ceramics are independently tested by SGS Laboratories. No lead, cadmium, barium, arsenic, mercury, or other regulated heavy metals were detected in soluble or leachable form.

The Pleated Filter combines activated carbon with electrokinetic nanofiber technology.

We don't recommend storing all drinking water in copper, especially for young children, as excessive copper exposure can become a concern over time.

Most traditional gravity filters rely primarily on carbon filtration. The Pleated Filter combines activated carbon with electrokinetic nanofiber technology, allowing it to reduce smaller modern contaminants more effectively, including PFAS, fluoride, nitrates, and microplastics.
