How much do they weigh compared to Brita brand..Walmart has cheapies also,but they weigh half as much, wonder about the charcoal content long lasting.

Didn't notice much difference in weight or for that matter performance when compared to brita filters. Biggest plus i notice is you don't see any of the black sediments (activated carbon) in water.

Never thought about weight. I think they are comparable. I haven't got a Brita on hand to check. I do think they do a better job of filtering and last a little longer. I would be concerned about buying a "cheapie".

I used to purchase at Walmart as well, for less than $7.00. Can't believe they pulled it off the market!!!! Comparable to NADS which I will go back to since Amazon is way too expensive!

I was wondering the same thing! I am trying to decide between the Graco Nautilus and the britax. I really like the extra "snacky" features of the Nautilus because I know what my 5 year old uses. (This seat would be for my 1 year old.) Input from anyone who knows about these carseats would be appreciated!

I have not had that experience. I would compare with Walmart as well they carry these. I needed to get my order up for free shipping.

The cartridges that come with this are garbage as are the replacements. I bought some activated charcoal for $6 or so, popped the top off, rinsed off the fiber filter and refilled. I did that about a month ago and the water still looks good. I have enough charcoal for the rest of time.

Same results. i use Kingsford, Walmart, Grocery store etc... Make sure it is actual charcoal and not the charwood. some places sell the wood pellets, which have a much lower heat.

DUMBEST question ever posted. How the heck do you think people stay strong. You should just go to walmart and buy the 40lbs cheap ones. These are not for the likes of you!

I use the black + bum bottle. I don't know what is in these filters, but the black + blum uses a regular charcoal stick and lasts longer than two months. I am pretty sure it's 150 uses - so that's about 5 months.. also, because it is charcoal it can also be reused! Just set it outside and dry it out to use it again, although I would only do this maybe once to prolong the use and then buy a new one.. Anyway, I really like that bottle and the unique, cool design. It's great! The only con would be that it is a little wide on the bottom, so be careful if you have narrow cup holders!

I ordered 5,10 and 15 lb set from Wal-Mart for about $35-$40 dollars. I am going to purchase a seperate 7.5 or 8 lb weight soon from Wal-Mart as well. Good luck!

the charcoal is safe to drink in small amounts , but try running the filter through a few times to get clear water. Mine did not have any blackness to it after I rinsed it a few times. if it continues , then i would replace the filter or send it back to get a replacement filter.

Yes, its the 1 pound disposable tanks. You can actually get them at Wal-mart 2 for $5.50 in my area. They last about 5 hours if you leave the heater on low.

I think they are both comparable, but I've had Britta for years. I have run out of filters and that just means you don't get filtered water, you're just using it as a regular pitcher. It won't hurt it if you don't have the filter. I recommend buying them in bulk; three to a package. You can also get six in a package at Costco for a much lower price than if you buy them at the grocery store. Well worth it, though to keep up with your filters.

We went with Walmart's version (Parent's Choice) for half the cost and have had no issues. My little guy is 3 months and formula is only running us $14/week now.

In my opinion yes. Both brita and pur's quality has dropped significantly in the years since they first came out and mavea has surpassed their quality even by the original standard. They are made in germany with bpa free plastic so you know the quality is fantastic.

I bought the Olay one first. Then I got a really good deal($22) on a Sirius Sonic. I bought the Brite Leafs b/c of the pumice stone. The BriteLeafs never worked...Amazon was very helpful about the return. My local Big Lots was selling one like the Olay and/or the BriteLeafs for under $10. I would go with a vibrating brush if you can find a deal. Amazon has several under $30.

I am not sure, but it is not very much for what you pay. Ridiculous price. What I do that is MUCH more cost-effective is to not use any filter at all, and then run all the distilled water through this Brita water filter (or any other brand is fine) that I bought here on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Brita-Slim-Water-Filter-Pitcher/dp/B0000AP7NV/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1392493476&sr=8-4&keywords=brita+water+filter. MUCH cheaper and works a lot better too because charcoal filters work a lot better when the water is room temperature instead of hot. Another thing that I do that makes the filters last MUCH longer (remember, I don't use these over-priced filters at all) Like I mentioned before,I let the distilled water go into the the bottle without going through any type of filer at all, then after it cools, I pour it through one of those pitcher type charcoal filters (which is WAY cheaper). But what I forgot to mention is that when I distill the water, I throw away the first ounce or so of distilled water. Smell or taste that first ounce and you will see why!! By far, most of the chlorine that distilling takes out is in the first ounce. By throwing that away, you will be running MUCH less chlorine through the charcoal filter in your pitcher type filter.

Yeah I believe so. Walmart just carries the cheap stuff and lower potency. This stuff has worked awesome for my girlfriend and I. I take it everyday and it have lost 13 pounds in a month just taking that and little exercise since I work a lot and not able to get to the gym as much as a I was.
