Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brita 35503 Pitcher Replacement Water Filter Cartridges, 3-Pack
Customer Review: Stop Being an Environmental Deadbeat and Paying More For Drinking Water Than Premium Gas
Summary: 5 Stars
The Brita filters consistently produce drinking water that is better tasting than bottled water at a fraction of the cost and without the use of all the plastic bottles.
Regardless of the Brita container used the flow rate through the filter is about the same. Drinking water, coffee, bourbon and water, and anything with ice tastes better.
One of the concerns with the inline filters is that they remove chlorine or other disinfectants from the water on the faucet side of the filter. If not used frequently there is a potential problem for both contamination and picking up the taste from metallic piping systems. Brita cautions that once water is filtered it should be stored in the refrigerator.
If you like pure water at an economical price and care enough not to create more plastic bottles this is the system for you.
Brita listened to those who thought the original containers were way too large and cumbersome. The new pitchers are great.
For the kids cool water from the refrigerator is much better than soft drinks and again a fraction of the cost.
I have three of the pitchers (office, home and cabin) and disposed of my old large container.
Highly recommended.
Customer Review: You can use it up to 40 gallons - if you have the normal pitcher, that's 106 times
Summary: 5 Stars
Think about it. If you're using a filter for 106 times, you're getting your money's worth. Or you can just use it until your tastebuds decide the water is gross again. Remember, it's a water filter, not a purifier. It says so on the package. All it's supposed to do is remove the things that aren't tasting good, and copper too.
There are other brands that you can use first to filter the water that take care of all the other things, like asbestos and stuff. I use one of those, and then to take care of lead, I end with the Brita pitcher. The one that takes care of many more things than Brita does is called ClearH20, and the only thing that it doesn't do is copper. Brita does.
Using both of them makes the water taste terrific. I'd never use Brita or the ClearH20 alone....both of them together create awesome flavor....but either one by itself, the water tastes poor.
Customer Review: 17 Cents Per Gallon
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: inexpensive, environmentally-friendly, delicious water
Summary: 5 Stars
Ahhhh... the Brita filters. They're like magic. You put in your tap water with a bad after taste, and it comes out tasting like water should... like nothing!
They don't filter everything; they don't purify (kill bacteria), but they sure do make the water taste good and take out much of the harmful additives.
Also, they are cheap compared to buying water and don't cause nearly as much waste as bottled water. They also save energy because they do not use massive amounts of fuel (truck or human!) for hauling.
Besides, you know most bottled waters are from the ta anyway, don't you?
The three-pack is a discounted version of the single-pack, without the price commitment of hte larger packs.
