Nearly everyone is familiar with the Brita home water pitcher filtration
systems. Brita is a very popular brand but is it the best brand?
Read on to find out who we think makes the best water filter pitcher.
Water
Pitcher Filters are an inexpensive, convenient and effective way to improve taste
and color of your water while reducing up to 99%
of the chlorine in drinking water. Some water filter pitchers can filter up to
2000 gallons of water on a single filter replacement cartridge and because they have
multiple stages of water filtration, can remove hundreds of contaminants from water.
Water filter pitchers are good at filtering drinking water but are generally
impractical for filtering water that will be used in cooking since they can only
filter about 10 cups of water before they need to be refilled and the filtration
takes several minutes to complete.
Pitcher Filters kept in your refrigerator are a convenient way of providing
cool, clean drinking water and they are small and convenient
enough that they can also be taken along on camping trips.
Look for a pitcher water filter that is designed to fit conveniently into your
refrigerator. We personally prefer the slim design water filter pitchers.
Lids are another feature to keep in mind. Some water filter pitchers have lift off lids
while others come with flip up lids. This feature is a personal preference
but we like the flip top units better because you can handle the pitcher with
one hand and operate the water supply with the other. A little bit better
ergonomics in our opinion.
