Compact, Efficient, and Portable
Thanks to its slim, compact design, the Brita Slim Pitcher can be stored in narrow spaces like refrigerator doors, avoiding the hassle of sacrificing valuable shelf space. 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. All Brita Pitchers are universally compatible with Brita Pitcher Replacement Filters. Improves Your Health and Invigorates Your Senses
Water is a vital resource in energizing your mind and body, and using a Brita Pitcher ensures that the water you're drinking is in top quality. Proper hydration helps your body control temperature, keeps skin clear and glowing, and transports nutrients to the brain and other organs. It also acts as a powerful aid in digestion, metabolism, and detoxification. Brita recognizes the importance of water to human wellbeing and takes special care to optimize the healthfulness of your drinking water, so you can keep fit and energized. A Simple Way to Support the Environment
It's estimated that one Brita pitcher filter can substitute for the use of 300 water bottles, many of which end up in landfills. By using Brita filters, which are now recyclable through a Brita and Preserve filter recycling program, you lower your impact on the environment while benefiting your own health and possibly your wallet, too. Plus, your support of the Brita Products Company goes toward helping environmental efforts like the Brita Climate Ride, a five-day bike ride whose participants raise money for climate change awareness.

 Great for College Students November 4, 2005

The cost of bottled water adds up and can burn a hole in your wallet, especially if you're a starving student. The Brita pitcher is affordable and saves you more money. And it's also a healthy approach to drinking sodas which adds a great deal of sugar and pounds. Don't let the size fool you. It's not heavy and doesn't take up room. I highly recommend getting this product as to buying spring water in bulk and gallons. You won't feel that you're wasting money and you will get six to eight glasses of water each day.
Does the job brilliantly April 27, 2006

While the filters are expensive to buy, this is a small pitcher and if you don't go through much you can stretch them out pretty well. It does the job perfectly, taking the awful chlorine taste out of my water. It fits well in the door of our dorm fridge, keeping room for the essentials like pizza and beverages. Absolutely nothing to complain about with this product.
Perfect for the dorm! January 3, 2008

I was sick of buying bottled water and lugging it from the store to my dorm room, so I decided to buy this pitcher instead. And it was the best choice I made! The water tastes great and the pitcher fits nicely in my mini 2.4 cubic feet fridge with room to spare. I bought a couple of poly-carbonate water bottles so that I could still take my water on the go and it works out perfectly! I highly recommend this to all college students!!!
Great when you FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS November 19, 2008

Mine just came yesterday and took about 20 minutes to get it ready. It's very important to Follow the Instructions provided. People have complained about black particles in their water, I believe that is because there filters were not in all the way.
Make sure to follow the instructions for installing the filter perfectly because it is very important. They ask you to soak it in cold water for 15 minutes; I put it in a plastic cup from a fast food place with cold water for 15 minutes and it ate through the coating the cups have and the water turned grey and had some of those black carbon particles in the cup, which is perfectly fine that's exactly why you soak it for 15 minutes. I then put it into my cleaned Pitcher, making sure the filter lined up with the groove to hold it in place properly. It goes in easy, if it's going in hard make sure you are putting it in the right way. I believe the only reason people have complained about the particles in their water is they did something wrong. Make sure the filter is in as much as it goes so that it is sealed properly. I see the particles in the top of the pitcher where you add more water to be filtered. But that's not a problem it's Supposed to do that. It will NOT get into your drinking water once it's filtered. If you see them in your drinking water check if you did something wrong
I was amazed how crystal clear the water was after everything was setup, especially since the water used to soak the filter was so grey colored. I have found zero black carbon particles in the water since i've filled it up (i've filled it about 4-5 times now). The lid for the filter makes a tight seal when put on properly, I was very happy to find after filling it once i could fill the filter again so when i use up the filtered water it filters more of the unfiltered water (wow sorry if that's a bit confusing)
Anyways for only $12 i highly recommend this product. I'm gna get a few more for Christmas Presents this year.
Tried it and like it, great alternative to disposable bottles August 27, 2009

I wasn't sure I'd like a filter/pitcher combo, but the price on this pitcher was so low that I just had to try it. Wow, what a difference! I've never been able to tell a lot of difference between our tap water and bottled water. Bottled water always tasted a little like plastic, or maybe it was my imagination. With the Brita pitcher, the water does taste noticeably better. I'm pleased with the pitcher design as well. It takes very little space in the fridge and holds enough for us. The lid doesn't fall off but isn't hard to remove. I soaked and rinsed the filter before using it as directed, and I've had no problem with charcoal granules, only a slight few in the top part a time or two, none at all in the filtered water. I've only had the pitcher a few weeks so I've not bought replacement filters yet. It came with one filter included. The only added feature I see for the higher priced pitchers, other than greater capacity, is a covered spout. So far, I've had no problem with flavors transferring to the water in the refrigerator overnight. The water drains through the filter very fast, less than two minutes for a full top reservoir, which fills the bottom part of the pitcher about 2/3 full. I'm glad the Brita pitchers are said to be BPA free. Everyone should consider not buying water in disposable plastic bottles because of the environmental costs, both in energy used in production and transportation, and in landfill space consumed. There is also the concern about BPA leaching. We now drink filtered water from refillable stainless steel KK bottles and are totally pleased with this pitcher.
