+## `console.error`
+
+In order to catch errors that are produced in all parts of the hook's lifecycle, the test harness
+used to wrap the hook call includes an
+[Error Boundary](https://reactjs.org/docs/error-boundaries.html) which causes a
+[significant amount of output noise](https://reactjs.org/docs/error-boundaries.html#component-stack-traces)
+in tests.
+
+To keep test output clean, we patch `console.error` when importing from
+`@testing-library/react-hooks` (or any of the [other non-pure imports](/installation#pure-imports))
+to filter out the unnecessary logging and restore the original version during cleanup. This
+side-effect can affect tests that also patch `console.error` (e.g. to assert a specific error
+message get logged) by replacing their custom implementation as well.
+
+### Disabling `console.error` filtering
+
+Importing `@testing-library/react-hooks/disable-error-filtering.js` in test setup files disable the
+error filtering feature and not patch `console.error` in any way.
+
+For example, in [Jest](https://jestjs.io/) this can be added to your
+[Jest config](https://jestjs.io/docs/configuration):
+
+```js
+module.exports = {
+  setupFilesAfterEnv: [
+    '@testing-library/react-hooks/disable-error-filtering.js'
+    // other setup files
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can change your test to import from `@testing-library/react-hooks/pure` (or any
+of the [other non-pure imports](/installation#pure-imports)) instead of the regular imports.
+
+```diff
+- import { renderHook, cleanup, act } from '@testing-library/react-hooks'
++ import { renderHook, cleanup, act } from '@testing-library/react-hooks/pure'
+```
+
+If neither of these approaches are suitable, setting the `RHTL_DISABLE_ERROR_FILTERING` environment
+variable to `true` before importing `@testing-library/react-hooks` will also disable this feature.
+
+> Please note that this may result is a significant amount of additional logging in you test output.

-## Testing Framework
+## Pure imports
+
+Importing from any of the previously mentioned imports will cause some side effects in the test
+environment:
+
+1. `cleanup` is automatically called in an `afterEach` block
+2. `console.error` is patched to hide some React errors
+
+The specifics of these side effects are discussed in more detail in the
+[API reference](/reference/api).
+
+If you want to ensure the imports are free of side-effects, you can use the `pure` imports instead,
+which can be accessed by appending `/pure` to the end of any of the other imports:
+
+```ts
+import { renderHook, act } from '@testing-library/react-hooks/pure'
+
+import { renderHook, act } from '@testing-library/react-hooks/dom/pure'
+
+import { renderHook, act } from '@testing-library/react-hooks/native/pure'
+
+import { renderHook, act } from '@testing-library/react-hooks/server/pure'
+```
+
+## Testing framework
 
 In order to run tests, you will probably want to be using a test framework. If you have not already
 got one, we recommend using [Jest](https://jestjs.io/), but this library should work without issues
