 We like the filtered water! January 6, 2009
We've been using the Brita pitcher and filters for six or eight months, and they work very well. It's nice to have really clean-tasting water, and have ice-cold water in the summertime. (I even use the cold water to make hot tea or coffee because it tastes so much better.) I replace the filters when the indicator on top says to do so, about every 2 months. and they're easy to change. I often see some of the little black carbon specks in the top part of the pitcher as I refill the water, but the lower, filtered section is always clean and clear. This has been much less expensive than buying bottled water.
Good System December 19, 2008
I love my Brita water pitcher and therefore, couldn't live without the filters! I find that my water tastes so much better after being filtered. Also, since my husband I and are the only ones using it and we aren't home much, I find that the filters last much longer than the suggested replacement period.

Brita is the best ! November 25, 2008
Great product. Earlier I tried local brands but did not like them. Finally got back to Brita. I got 10 pack for about 35$. Thanks Amazon for having this deal earlier.
 Nothing Should Be Floating In Your Water November 19, 2008

In the beginning Brita Replacement Filters were an outstanding idea that complimented the pitcher system. For the first couple of years the filters worked great. Somewhere along the line beginning in 2007, Brita decided to go cheap and introduce a much maligned filter.
The filters look the same, but that is where it ends. No matter how long one soaks the filter, carbon residue still shows up in the reservoir and in the water. At first I thought it was just a bad batch of filters.
After contacting Brita Customer Service about the issue, I returned the filters. Two weeks later, the new replacement filters arrived. Sadly, same story, same problem. Brita recommends soaking the filter 15 minutes before installing. I soak mine for 3 hours and still the same result. Upon contacting Brita Customer Service again I was casually informed " the carbon particles are normal and will not hurt humans." Enough said.
The bottom line is for the price paid for this product and combined with all the issues with clean water, there should be absolutely nothing floating in my water. The fact that NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) still allows its stamp to be placed on this product is simply amazing.
