Brita 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

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 am going to get this set up soon. I really enjoy the color, size and quality. I am very glad I made the purchase so I will be drinking much better water without so much hardcore minerals that Colorado falls has. My only complaint is it didn't come with a paper to say how to set it up. I googled this with the product and received some great information.

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.

I love this pitcher. Living in an apartment that does not have a water filtration in the apartment and of course you can't install one. This is the next best thing.

I have been using the Brita 10 cup since my purchase in June. The water tastes cleaner than the filtered water from my fairly new refrigerator and definitely from the kitchen faucet. I bought the 10 cup because I drink water all day long and wanted to stop buying bottled water. I found it difficult to manage picking up 12 and 24 packs of water, getting them in the grocery cart, lifting to get into the trunk of the car and then managing into the house. So, I decided this would be a great option. However, when the container is full, I need two hands to get it in the fridge because it's quite heavy. As I mentioned, I drink water all day long and have to refill twice. It sounds silly, but I find it slightly annoying waiting for it to refill. With the plastic bottles I have not used up, I just refill them a few times.
