Why would you use a chemical if you can buy a great bacteria filter and a britta pitcher?

A filter and pitcher is great for most cases. This is something that is small,portable, and can be used on the fly. So such applications as camping/ backpacking, or a survival kit.

Filters and Pitchers take up a lot of space in a back pack when your camping. This product isn't for in home use. It is for people traveling to remote places with only what they can carry.

I think these are meant more for survival situations where you are dealing with contaminated water. Most water filters can remove bad tasting chemicals (chlorine) and contaminants from tap water, but they are not guaranteed to remove bacteria and contaminants from standing water. I purchased them for my survival pack, but after reading all the warnings (can cause blindness, handle with gloves, wash clothes immediately after using), I decided this is probably something I shouldn't keep in close proximity with all of my other equipment.

No. According to Brita, their filters will not remove or reduce bacteria, viruses, and parasites. You should boil the water, wait for it to cool down to room temperature, then filter it.

brita only has one type of filter for all of its pitchers. This one Brita filter fits all Brita pitchers. Brita has a customer contact on their website.

NoIt,s only a stainless steel covering on the outside for decorative purposes.But it has a excellent visual and more functional than plastic Brita Pitcher.Even it is able to pour before filtering operation is finished completely, because it has a good struture. Filtered water is saperated from natural water.I am quite happy with that except a little heavy.

someone had asked about this pitcher, or another Pur item, as to what impurities it removed. I found a water filter comparison at the following link. Hope it helps.http://www.waterfiltercomparisons.com/water_filter_comparison.php

Boy asking wrong person. You need to ask Brita those serious questions. I would certainly boil my water then filter to be extra safe.

We all have our own Brita bottle, our water tastes terrible (usually like chlorine) and bottled water was getting too pricey. I keep the filters on auto ship, no need to remember, when they show...its time to change them. Great product.

It isn't a good idea. You should only use water or the filters will get clogged up.

Berkey's come with carbon filters, the Ceradyn doesn't, but the Gravidyn does. Carbon gets used up faster, so you will have much less of a filter life. Most people just use a Brita pitcher (or equivalent) if they want a carbon filtered water after (for taste and aroma). I personally chose the Ceradyn for long filter life as its ceramic inpregnated with silver, and its used by missionaries around the world. You can put river water in this thing and have it come out clean.

I never use carbon in my filters, I think one pad is enough to keep the water clean, but if you have too much tanines you can use in bothRegards

Faucet Filters, Bottle water and pitcher filters. I did compare other site pricing. I find ebay and amazon better pricing on these. pitcher filters work with any container that allows the filter to sit upright without falling through.

It doesn't have a filter such as a water filtration pitcher would, it is only sufficient to filter out possible grit or vegetative matter. The filter looks like a small round large pore sponge.

I do not know of glass pitchers for brita filters....have never looked. I especially like this pitcher, it's smaller thatn most that I've had and easier for me to use, I have a weak wrist.It has a date you can set to remind you when to change filter, not automatic, you pick your date based on your use.

you can use filtered tap water (like from a brita) . it works better than just tap water.

There is a box of little activated carbon filters that I looked at and tossed. I can think of few reasons one might want to filter distilled water (and even fewer good reasons), but I can't imagine the pathetic little carbon pouches and even more pathetic placement method would be useful in any scenario.The filters seem an afterthought to let marketing claim this technically has a filter. Like the others said, it's a great distiller with no replacement parts needed. Fill, distill, collect, clean, repeat.
