| saturnbabi's Full Review: Brita Deluxe Water Filter Pitcher 35611 |
My husband has been asking me to get a water filter system for years now, but I have always believed that tap water is good enough. On a trip to Sam's Wholesale club we saw the Brita Deluxe with 2 refill cartridges for only $18.88 and decided that the price was low enough that we could indulge ourselves in this needless new toy for the kitchen. We brought it home, soaked the filter like the direction said (30 minutes),watered the plants with the first two pitchers full (the directions say to do this because the carbon in the filter comes out for the first 2 pitchers full and makes the water gray),and then we had sparling pure water. An important note to make is that you always have to keep the level of the water at least up to the bottom of the filter so that it doesn't dry out because this will cause it not to filter properly.
I must admit that at this point I was still sure that there would be no real difference in taste with the tap water so we did a side-by-side taste test. To my surprise, even in our own unscientific blind taste test I could still pick out the filtered water! It just tasted better. I now find myself only drinking the filtered water because I actually prefer it.
The pitcher is a good size for leaving in the refrigerator. The lid has a convenient door for refilling the pitcher without removing the whole lid, and it also has a "door" that opens and closes the spout when pouring so that your water doesn't taste like the refrigerator. I think that the Brita Deluxe Water Filter was a smart buy and would highly recommend it, even to the skeptics!
