Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brita 42558 Aqualux Water Pitcher

Customer Review: Perfect, Just Make Sure To Follow Instructions
Summary: 5 Stars

I was somewhat hesitant to purchase this Brita pitcher after reading some of the one and two star reviews. I find sometimes the lower rated reviews are even more helpful than the higher rated ones. As such, I knew what I needed to look out for. I've owned a Brita before, so I know how it works, however, I chose to follow the instructions and hopefully avoid a bad experience. First thing, the filter is packaged wet, so I can see if someone did not soak it long enough and rinse it, maybe there would be a foul taste to the water. Second, I ran the water through the filter for a couple of pitchers before drinking. One thing I noticed is that I did not place the filter in tight enough during assembly. That did result in charcoal in my drinkable water. After double checking everything and following the instructions to the letter, I honestly cannot see how some folks have rated this product one, two or even three stars. This Brita pitcher is great. Water tastes perfect and fresh and the pitcher holds up to frequent use. I highly recommend this product to everyone. One feature that this pitcher also has is a timer of sorts that lets you know when to replace the filter. It is that dark patch on the top of the lid with an LED bar system that is quite useful as opposed to the old refrigerator magnet sticker system. I am sorry that some folks have had bad experiences with this product, I just honestly don't see how.

Filtration System Reduces Harmful Contaminants
With the Aqualux Water Pitcher, you and your family can enjoy clean, better-tasting water straight from the tap. The pitcher's included Ion Exchange Resin filter acts as a magnet for impurities that are often found in tap water, such as lead, copper, mercury, cadmium, and zinc. The filter removes these impurities, reducing their potentially harmful effects. The filtering process also reduces that taste and odor of chlorine, thanks to a special sponge-like filtration system.

The end result is clean, better tasting water that is healthier for everyone. This is especially good news for children and pregnant or nursing women who are more susceptible to potential harm from lead and other impurities. Filters should be changed every 40 gallons or two months and are not intended for use with microbiologically unsafe water.

All Brita Pitchers are universally compatible with Brita Pitcher Replacement Filters.

Filter Change Indicator Ensures Healthier, Great-Tasting Water
Changing your filter regularly ensures that you will always have clear, healthful, great-tasting water. The Electronic Filter Change Indicator makes it easy to know when it is time to replace your filter. Every two weeks an indicator bar will disappear from your pitcher's electronic display. After two months, when all the bars have disappeared, an arrow will flash at the top of the display reminding you to change your filter. Reset your filter change indicator each time you replace your filter to make sure your water is always healthier and great tasting.

Smart Design Features Make Water Filtration Easy
The Aqualux Water Pitcher is built smart to make water filtration easy. The pitcher cover has a flip top so that you do not need to remove the entire lid to refill the pitcher. A contoured, soft-grip handle makes the pitcher comfortable and easy to lift and pour.

Stylish and slim, the Aqualux is designed to fit into your refrigerator door so you'll always have plenty of cold, filtered water on hand. Despite its compact size, the pitcher holds up to 48 ounces of water, enough for six eight-ounce glasses, making the Aqualux a practical choice for your family.

Improves Your Health and Invigorates Your Senses
Water is a vital resource in energizing your mind and body, and using a Brita Pitcher ensures that the water you're drinking is in top quality. It helps your body regulate its temperature, keeps skin clear and glowing, and aids in the transport of nutrients to the brain and other organs. It also acts as a powerful aid in digestion, metabolism, and detoxification. Brita recognizes the importance of water to human well being and takes special care to optimize the healthfulness of your drinking water, so you can keep fit and energized.

A Simple Way to Support the Environment
It's estimated that one Brita pitcher filter can substitute for the use of 300 water bottles, many of which end up in landfills. By using Brita filters, which are now recyclable through a Brita and Preserve filter recycling program, you lower your impact on the environment while benefiting your own health and possibly your wallet, too. Plus, your support of the Brita Products Company goes toward help environmental efforts like the Brita Climate Ride, a five-day bike ride whose participants raise money for climate change awareness.
