 best filter I've found December 23, 2002
36 out of 39 found this review helpful
In California the water tends to be very hard. I purchased an under the sink two stage water filtration system and thought the problem would be solved. The water still tasted bad so I bought a Brita pitcher filter. Unbelievable! It tasted so good. I think it's because each filter has silver oxide particles mixed in with the charcoal and it softens the water very well. I wish I would have tried this filter first.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.
Hint for use of the Brita filter... December 11, 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!
Brita Pitcher Replacement Filter November 17, 2002

The carbon particles which come off the filter is a little bothersome. However, it probably does not hurt anything, since it is carbon and I have not noticed it in the finished product, only in the top part of pitcher before it is filtered. It is a little annoying though. I would give it 5 stars, if not for that. It does make the water taste a lot better after the filtration.
Better Tasting Water October 25, 2002

I live in a town where the water tastes terrible....I'm sure its probably heathly with all the bleach they put in but I cannot stand the taste...I have used Brita filters for over a year and they work great...the bad taste is gone and if there is any toxins I'm sure Brita took care of them too..Buying Brita filters is cheaper than buying bottled water...and besides you don't know where that water actually comes from!
 I switched to Pur. Better safe than sorry. September 15, 2002

I used Brita filters for a couple of years before I noticed black carbon deposits floating around in my freshly poured cup of water. They are very hard to see.I purchased my first Brita filter system for home use. I didn't notice it for a long time because I always pour into a glass. I eventually bought a second system to use at work. At work, I use a paper cup. That's when I noticed the small carbon particles. It is easier to see the particles floating around in a white cup, as opposed to glass. I tried rinsing several different filters per the Brita instructions, but it didn't help. I have switched to using Pur filters. No black carbon deposits with the Pur system. I give the Brita filters 3 stars because they do remove the chlorine smell from city water (which is why I use water filters), and they filter the water reasonably quickly. If Brita can correct this problem, I will switch back to the Brita system.
