Despite its compact size, the pitcher holds up 40 fluid ounces of water, the equivalent of five 8-ounce glasses. The sleek design makes for effortless transport, refilling, and pouring. Reduces Impurities and Cuts Down on Chlorine Taste The pitcher's included Ion Exchange Resin filter acts as a magnet for impurities that are often found in tap water, such as lead, copper, mercury, cadmium, and zinc. The filter removes these impurities, reducing their potentially harmful effects. The filtering process also reduces that taste and odor of chlorine, thanks to special sponge-like filtration system. The end result is clean, better tasting water that is healthier for everyone. This is especially good news for children and pregnant or nursing women who are more susceptible to potential harm from lead and other impurities. Filters should be changed every 40 gallons or two months and are not intended for use with microbiologically unsafe water.

Lid top will come off too easily July 15, 2010 H. Oh 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Don't get me wrong. Filter itself is working fine, just the top part where holds the unfiltered water comes of too easy, and it makes you drop it several times. Not well made, for sure.
Nice addition to my desk July 12, 2010 elocin62 (az, us) This pitcher is small enough to have on my desk... It has helped me get my water intake in during the day...
Clean, fresh water any time! July 10, 2010 Michael Swaidan (Ventura, CA) I've had my Brita for a while now and have never had any problems with it. Simply, pour water into the top reservoir, wait for it to filter, then enjoy delicious tasting clean water! Perfect for the hard water we have in Southern California.
Some customers have complained about the lid. I have had no issued with my lid at all.
Water spills easily with every pour of water! Junk! June 24, 2010 Positron (USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
A few years ago the Brita pitcher was good. But the two new ones I bought in the last 2 year are total junk: with every pour of water, the lid would fall off and water spills out big time. What a junk! I have no clue what happened to Brita. What a pity.
Mmm.... Tasty water! May 10, 2010 Charles Jorgensen This wasn't my first experience with Brita pitcher but this is my first time purchasing one for myself. So far I'm impressed by how great the water tastes(Even though I know it's just because it's colder.). The carbon filter really cleans out that chlorine taste that the water here in LA has, so a plus there. I never had a problem with the carbon pieces floating in my cup, it was only in the top where you pour the water into that I saw black dots. If you want to have clean drinking water for everyday use then I would recommend this. Owning this will just make you drink more water and carry water, if you do carry it, around more. One point for environment, two points for me!
