Amazon.com Review
For crisp, clean drinking water in small family or single-person households, Brita offers their Slim Pitcher with Filter. The filter reduces impurities and harmful substances from tap water and holds approximately 40 liquid ounces. The slim pitcher fits neatly into many refrigerator doors, enabling users to maximize shelf space.

Certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International, Brita water filters contain a mesh screen to catch sediment and particles as tap water flows through into the pitcher's basin. Brita pitchers employ an ion exchange resin with activated carbon granules to draw mercury, zinc, copper and cadmium from tap water, trapping these harmful elements inside the filter. Brita filters eradicate up to 98 percent of the lead found in tap water while significantly reducing other impurities and dangerous bacteria including cryptosporidium, giardia, and benzene. Additionally, the odor and flavor of chlorine are removed from drinking water. Brita filters should be replaced every 40 gallons or after two months of use. Replacement filters can be purchased separately. Wash the Slim Pitcher by hand in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Brita offers a limited 90-day warranty on pitchers in the event of manufacturer defects. The pitcher weighs two pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

Easy to store July 12, 2008
I like that this Brita pitcher is easy to store in the refrigerator. The water tastes great, and it holds enough for me to make a pot of coffee in the morning.

Good for 1-2 people July 11, 2008
I'm a college student, and the fridge can only hold so many things. My roommate and I have one of these each and live in a 4-person suite with 2 others. The pitcher fits in the fridge nicely, it's very slim; don't be fooled by the pics.

One thing, though, it does not hold a whole lot, it probably is enough for 1-2 people.

This product is garbage July 6, 2008
I bought this pitcher to replace a PUR one that I had trouble finding replacement filters for--it seems that P&G decided to change its filter designs without pausing to see if it would fit older models.

Now onto Brita. As others have said, the top will come out when pouring at extreme angles because it doesn't hook into the base of the unit, making the product cumbersome to use. For that and the reasons concerning limited capacity, you should look elsewhere.

PUR is so much better July 2, 2008
The charcoal bits that float around my pitcher is not acceptable, even if the manufacturer claims it is normal and safe. My pitcher has also started to leak between the top and bottom portion, so that the little bits float down to the "purified" section. How pure can my water be if tap water is passing around the filter and not through it? I replace my filter very frequently (like every 2-3 wks) since I have noticed that the bottom of my pitcher became green. How gross is that? Please save yourself this headache and buy a PUR. I've used that brand for many years and have never had any complaints. I swear water tastes better with a PUR. Their filter actually screws in the container to prevent leakage. Someone was thinking!

A fine water jug. July 1, 2008
Well, here you an exceptionally well designed water jug. This is probably all you should expect, with the added luxury of SOME water purification.

I can't really comment on the scientific claims of the filter. I don't think anyone intelligent buys this item really thinking it will "fix" dirty water. This is not supposed to be an emergency system for toxic or disease ridden water. There are such products available from specialty outdoor/camping stores. The filter certainly gives the water a distinctive taste, which anecdotally I find superior to old apartment tap water which can tastes metallic.

That aside, the actual jug is everything it claims to be. It's slim, solidly built and some careful thought went into putting it together. It pours well and holds enough to be ideal for a single user or couple!

With regard to the black granules - there are a few grains that emerge every week, but only in the filtration compartment - never actually going into the water.

Buy this if you are looking for a compact and high quality pitcher. Think of filtration ability as a bonus.
