[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This filter works well. However, I constantly get the small black pieces of charcoal in the top resivoir holder (before the water goes down through the filter). I have a newer pitcher and it tells to have the faucet water not stream down on top of the filter, which I don't do. I constantly get these pieces in the pitcher and some even get down into the water pitcher.
