 Brita filters optimize your drinking water to be healthy and great tasting every time. |
 Each Brita filter helps reduce waste by substituting for an estimated 300 water bottles. |
Brita Filters provide you the natural benefits of water by cutting down on unwanted substances. Specially engineered with an Ion Exchange Resin, these filters grab hold of impurities found in tap water like lead, copper, mercury, cadmium, and zinc to reduce their presence in your drinking water. The taste and odor of chlorine is decreased with a sponge-like filtration system, giving your water a clean, fresh taste every time.
Refresh Your Body and Mind
The health benefits of water are wide-ranging. Water helps keep your skin glowing, your mind working, and your body moving by aiding in metabolism, detoxification, and the transport of nutrients to all organs. Brita appreciates the importance of water to human wellbeing and has created products that enhance the quality of your drinking water so you get the nourishment you need in a fresh, healthful way.
Brita Filters should be changed every 40 gallons or two months and are not intended for use with microbiologically unsafe water.
Reduce Waste and Help the Environment
Using Brita filters is an effective way to reduce waste. Each filter equals about 300 water bottles, many of which end up in landfills. Even better, Brita filters can now be recycled thanks to Preserve's Gimme 5 Program.
Brita Pitcher Replacement Filters are universally compatible with all Brita Pitchers, including the Aqualux, Atlantis, Classic, Chrome, Deluxe, Grand, Riviera, Slim, and Space Saver pitcher models.

CONS: Every time I open the reservoir, I see what looks like pepper.
FINAL VERDICT: Don't have much of a choice when it comes to what filter you want to put in your Brita.
SUMMARY: As mentioned above in Cons, the filter appears to be causing backwash. Note, this is not going into what I drink, the other way around. When I fill it up with water, there is a top half (reservoir) that slowly allows water to flow through the filter and down into the bottom half. It's the reservoir that is filling up inexplicably with this stuff. I rinse it out and it keeps coming. But as long as it doesn't get into my drink, I suppose I can't complain. Just not too appetizing.
When I examined their pitcher, I found a lot of legal stff at the bottom of the pitcher in very hard to read font. This alerted me - if a product does eliminate 99% lead, why would they not advertise it in big letters right in front?
Then I looked carefully at the box in which the replacement filters came in.
Turns out - The certification is on the side of the box - is again in very tiny font. So you will normally fail to notice it is in there. The only claims made are for copper, mercury and cadmium. No mention of lead. Why can't Brita tell us what the deal is regarding lead reduction in BIG COLORFUL font?
If you are using this product believing it to reduce lead levels - time to wake up. I'm going back to my earlier sears system which was NSF certified to remove 99% of lead.
