Brita Water Pitcher Replacement Filter

Since moving to the east coast I still find that these filters do a great job at making the water taste as good or better than bottled water at a fraction of the cost.

I have been using Brita filters for over six years now and I have nothing but the best to say about them. Living in a part of the country where the tap water contains impurities resulting in poor taste, at first I resorted to bottled water. Besides being hard on the old wallet, I found that some brands had a burnt aftertaste to them. So I tried Brita. I was amazed at how it improved the taste of ordinary tap water. It tasted better than some bottled water I had been purchasing and it was crystal clear. I have been using Brita ever since. The only drawback initially is the cost of the pitcher, but once you have it the only other cost are the filters that are readily available at most stores. Each filter lasts about 40 gallons, which translates into getting bottled water quality for seventeen cents per gallon.

The Brita filters are an excellent lower-end water purification system. They work quite well in most cases and these new filters come with a guide that indicates when it is time to change the filter. This is a marked improvement over the old method of going by calendar days based on the number of times you fill the pitcher per day.


Hint for use of the Brita filter...   December 10, 2002

I have been using this system for a couple of years now. Here's a tip to get rid of the little black particles...

If you make sure to keep the water level above the level of the filter at all times, the carbon particles will not get into your water! Good luck!

Makes tap water taste great. Better than most bottled or spring water that you can buy in a store. Keeps those hard water mineral deposits from building up in your coffee pot. The Brita is much more economical than buying bottled water and tastes much better.
