A sleek, compact design makes this pitcher efficient and portable. | 
Purified water is a powerful way to keep your whole body revitalized and uplifted. | 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.

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.

Great for College Students November 4, 2005 Diaspora Chic (Silver Spring, MD) 45 out of 52 found this review helpful
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 Bradley Berkemier (North Sioux City, SD USA) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
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 Nicole Shepard (San Diego, CA United States) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
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 Greg-O-Wii 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
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.
Turned Rotten Egg Water into Sparkling Eau di Vie! March 20, 2006 Vespa Rossa (NYC, USA) 8 out of 10 found this review helpful
My apartment is one of those "luxury" shindigs. Unfortunately, the water is terrible! When I turned the sink fauced on I could smell the horrible Rotten Egg scent and it made coffee/rice/pasta taste disgusting. I had my water checked but the city said it's "within limits" which is infurating. I bought a Brita pitcher hoping it might take out some of the scent/taste. I was wrong -- the Brita pitcher took out ALL of the horrible scent and taste and my water is perfect! Highly recommend this product if your water: tasted bad, smells bad, has a metallic/chlorine after taste.
