Everyday Elite Water Filter Pitcher with SmartLight Filter Change Indicator, BPA-Free, Replaces 1,800 Plastic Water Bottles a Year, Lasts Six Months, Includes 1 Filter, Large - 10-Cup, Blue

My water is “city” water, and the city pumps it from the local reservoir. When seasons change, especially, the water is undrinkable from the tap because the taste is awful. This water pitcher with the blue filter makes the water practically without a taste at all! I don’t know how I lived without it, since water is the only thing I drink. I also use the filtered water for cooking. It is easy to replace an old filter with a new one. Just make sure you fill the pitcher with water and pour it out in the sink around eight times to make sure you aren’t tasting any of the filter’s contents in the water. The pitcher itself is sturdy and works well even after a year of using it at least twelve times a day, for drinking and cooking water. You use the filter for six months, then buy one or two new blue filters just like the one you already have in the pitcher, and switch the old one out for a new one.

The best Brita filter and pitcher I have ever used. Water taste incredible. No lead, no chlorine, judt fantastic water. Pets immediately had cleansing evacuations versus feeding them tap water. They slept better. Holds lots of water. Filter is fast drainjng and snaps in tight. Construction solid versus the other pitchers from Brita. Worth the money this one. Get it.

I love the size and shape of this pitcher. I pair it with the elite filters because we have lead pipes, which lead/ to high lead levels in our water. I bought this to replace my previous one I obtained through Costco because that one developed a large crack along the side of the pitcher when it was accidentally (gently) knocked into the side of our sink. I wanted to like this one because the blue color matches our kitchen color scheme so well, but unfortunately it too developed a substantial crack on the side—this time even sooner on than before. I’m still using it because I can’t bring myself to buy a third one of these pitchers in the same year. As of now, little to no water seems to be leaking from the crack, but it concerns me. For the price, I would like to see a higher quality plastic that is more durable, as I have done nothing major to cause these cracks.

We had two of the original white versions -- which worked well -- but the first blue elite was so good we ditched the other white one and now have two of these. Filtration is quite fast and the water actually tastes better (we get our water from a water tank in the hills above us and it is not tasty from the tap). I highly recommend this because it does a great job filtering, has a green light to indicate the filter is still "in season", and the filters last six months instead of just a couple. A bit pricier, but well worth it for us.

I like it. BUT IT WAS TOO TALL TO FIT IN MY REFRIGERATOR, VERY SLOW TO FILL & HEAVY WHEN FILLED. I put it in my under counter refrigerator. At least it fit. TIME WILL TELL.
