I have a Kinetico water system. The filters on it need to be replaced again so I tried a Brita pitcher water filter to save me a hundred bucks on the kinetico filters and to see if it was even close in flavor.. Man I thought I was drinking gutter water!!! Unless you like the flavor of gutter water save your money.. Maybe the Kinetico system spoiled me but thats my opinion!! (p.s. Ive never tasted gutter water before but I needed something to compare the water to!)

They work; I have two, one outside the fridge 3qt (coffee, tea, cooking etc.)and one in 2qt (drinking water, diluting juice, etc). A few people have mentioned a some shortcomings or gripes; here’s my take on those problems.
1)The top is made out of fragile plastic and breaks if you drop it. Yeah well it’s made out of that kind hard plastic because it’s easier to clean effectively. Soft plastic might bounce but it would be less effectively cleaned. No solution ‘cept buy another before you break the one you have.
2)Someone wrote that when they clean their jug, every two months when they change the filter, they notice “pinky fungus stuff”. See above… the jar was designed to be easily cleaned like … er… weekly, daily, hourly … take your pick. Then you wont have the pinky stuff problem .. perhaps you didn’t realise but that pinky stuff causes brain deterioration … you start buying valentines day stuff and barbie outfits all year round .. even big hairy guys slump to this. BE CAREFUUL!
3)The top on the 3qt model sticks then suddenly opens … it’s partly that hard plastic problem again .. just give the little top a quick flip up before you pour to break the water “seal” caused by a sticky capillary attraction effect. Or just pull it off and let in odours and insects etc.
4)Filling the jug up to the top causes water to leak out over the sides YEP it does … try filling up to the mark on the inside .. bowt a half inch down from the top.
5)The 3qt jug is awkward to hold. Yes it is if you have a small hand or holding 3 qts is a problem. The 2qt is the solution or the “box” style that you fill and put on a shelf (in the fridge say).
6)The water filters through very slowly. Yes it does, but I’ve discovered a way to speed it up! Pour in the water… keep the lid up .. put the lower half of your face over the top and exhale enthusiastically. If you’ve read this far the “pinky stuff” is getting to you. CHEERS!

another poster remarked about this as well, check the bottom of your pitcher, it maybe turning green with algae. We finally returned it in digust.

Wrote to the a couple of emails and never got an answer. Had no idea the product was on its way when suddenly I received a package.

I’ve used Brita since its inception and this is by far their best pitcher.
While others have the filter change indicator, this chrome color is so
modern and “today.” Thanks for another great item, Brita!
