the design of the filter is flawed. it pops out of the filter holder of my pitcher with every use - therefore allowing unfiltered water to mix with filtered water every time, totally defeating the purpose of filtering my water. It needs to have some type of twist & lock design to hold it in place. I have owned a brita filter pitcher for as long as I can remember & this last filter design is making me seriously consider switching to a different pitcher & filter system. please tell me a new twist & lock design is already in the works - I can't believe this is happening only to me...
Pros: Health Reasons, Great Taste
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello there, we're sorry to hear that your filter kept popping up. We wouldn't expect that to happen with our products. We do have some tips! We suggest submerging the filter upright in a glass of cold water for 15 minutes. Then, line the groove in the filter with the notch in the reservoir and press down firmly. If this doesn't help, please give us a call at 1-800-24-BRITA Monday through Friday, 9:00AM to 5:30PM EST. We're always happy to help!
I bought this one recently that it say "new" outside the box ! Since I change to this new one, the filters come out the lose many times, and I have to pour out whole tank of water ! Waste so many water and time, and so much trouble ! I don't know is the filter's problem or Dispenser's problem ! My Dispenser is Brita UltraMax Water Filter Dispenser White 18 Cup
Pros: convenient, Easy to Drink, Great for the Environment

Sorry to hear about that, but this is a super easy fix, Romeilee. Prior to inserting, make sure you flush the filter with cold water for 15 seconds. Ensure that the groove in the filter lines up with the notch in the reservoir. Then simply press down on the filter firmly until it seats into the reservoir. This should solve the problem! If you're still encountering trouble, please call us at 1-800-24-BRITA Monday-Friday 9:00am to 5:30pm EST so we can help.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this newer design for the past 3 months. Excellent. I don't get the little back specks I have gotten before. Thanks for updating your design.
