[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my Brita about 3 months ago and I had ran out of bottled water and pulled my Brita out instead of racing to the store for more bottled water. I had gotten so tired of running to store to purchase bottled water. I’m now glad I ran out of Bottled water. My Brita have great taste and impurities are reduced, and I’m glad I’m not a slave to bottled water ANYMORE.
Pros: convenient, Easy to Drink, Health Reasons, Good Value, Great for the Environment, Great Taste, Great Design
We would like to know if anything concerning your standard (Model OB03) water filters has changed. We have been using you filters for years even though our town's central water system improved and monitored by the EPA is doing well. We could easily use one of your filters for at least 2 months without any problems. Now we are lucky to get a month or less out of one. Our supply water has 0% of arsenic, iron and other minerals and our usage is normally 6 8 oz cups per day that we filter. It seems the price of your filters has increased but the quality has decreased. If we are doing something wrong please let us know as we strictly follow the directions of install for the filters. Thank you for your consideration.
The only channel to recycle used filters is Brita’s partner, TeraCycle. I just learned that there’s a several-month waiting list to join their recycling program. I have a stockpile of a dozen of these filters. I will wait, but, I suspect there are tons of these filters going to landfills. May be better to jus drink the tap water.
