I purchased my Brita Water Pitcher including the
filters a few months ago.
Recently noticed the bottom of my water pitcher has a
slight ‘Green’ haze coloring in the bottom of the water.
I haven’t used the Water Pitcher very much at all,,, and had just
purchased this Brita Pitcher a few months ago.
Tho purhaps I need to change my filter???

Love the Pitcher, Filters Not So Much
on December 3, 2025
Posted by: Bethe006
I have several bones to picked here. I'll try to not take all my frustrations out on 1 company.
(1) Why aren't the "PLUS" filters listed here on the main website for your product? No one has noticed this oversight?
(2) so, if you buy the "ELITE" filter, it (supposedly) removes lead & other harmful metals. BUT - the water still has cholerine, minerals & tastes like water from the tap.
(3) If you buy the white Original or Plus -> this filter is 2x as dense. It's suppose to remove twice the impurities. We shall see. I'm receiving this one today.
(4) YOU CAN'T HAVE A FILTER THAT DOES BOTH?!? The term, "elite" implies just that, SUPERIOR filtration. There is activated carbon in the blue elite filters but it doesn't change the water quality one iota. I have a tds water meter.
My review: The pitcher is fine. For me, I like the sleek design & colors. I don't understand why all the options aren't offered in all the same colors, but, whatever. Just seems like laziness, to me.
The plastic is much thinner & less sturdy than the 1 I replaced, but, sign of the times. Nothing is made well any more.
- I purchased a tds water meter when I got this new pitcher bc I wanted to see for myself if the claims & hype, for any water filtration system, held up. I did multiple rounds of testing under several varieties of conditions a d measured different sources of water.
WHAT I FOUND: the "ELITE" filters don't not change the tds (total dissolved solids) at all from tap to pitcher. The scale used is '0 - 50' = highly filtered. This is usually alkaline or RO (reverse osmosis).
51 - 150 = Good. this is supposed to be 'avg' tap water. (sure)
151 - 300 = more minerals, contaminated, etc.
And it goes up from there.
My tap water avgs btwn 170 - 212 or 215.
With the blue filter whatever comes out of the tap, is what ends up in the pitcher. The value is exactly the same. VERY DISAPPOINTING. If I wanted to drink tap water, I wouldnt know about Brita products.
With the white, Original - the filter does reduce the tds approximately 20 pts and i can sometimes even get into the green on the scale.
My RO is 9 - 15. I buy it at Whole Foods from their self-service water dispenser. (Bring your own container.)
Thats it. Conclude for yourselves. I find it so confusing as to why 1 filter can't lower contaminates & remove heavy metals. I plan to return the elite filters, if i'm able.

Response from brita.comBy Shannon from The Brita Team, December 9, 2025
Thanks for your candid review of our Brita products, Beth. We pay close attention to all feedback and are sorry to hear they fell short of your expectations. We don't make claims about TDS reduction at Brita, because TDS isn't a measurement of water safety. It is only an aesthetic (taste) measurement. Additionally, TDS is not even an aesthetic measurement everyone wants to reduce, since TDS includes minerals widely considered beneficial, like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Please reach out to us at 800-242-7482 and mention #251209-000434. Hope to hear from you soon.

Why pay more for bottled (municipal) water?!
on July 31, 2025
Posted by: Stevn
always dependable, affordable and saves time, money & environment. No more schlepping cases of disposable water bottles, just filter your home water that you're already paying for..at pennies per gallon. Plus, bottled water is filtered municipal water anyway..at a 300% premium! Convenient..for whom?
Pros: Good Value, Great for the Environment

Easy to use. Hard to recycle
on July 28, 2025
Posted by: Hirezach
We love our Brita filters but what can we do with all the used ones while waiting to be accepted into the Terracycling program?? There don’t seem to be any drop off locations around Pittsburgh. Are we supposed to dispose of them in the trash or what?? I have a growing collection and can’t keep them forever. Please advise.
Pros: Easy to Drink, Health Reasons, Good Value, Great for the Environment
