Brita Standard Replacement Pitchers Dispensers Reviews Summary

Filter Effectiveness

Pros:

• "The BritaPlus has high density that can trap twice contaminants as comparing with the standard filter."
• "The new design is much better than the previous large and chunky one, it's slender and much more compact."
• "These Brita filters are just as good as the OEM product."
• "This high density replacement filter improves water taste and odor as good as the standard filter."
• "The filters are easy to replace and activate."
• "The water always has a clean, refreshing taste and feel."
• "The Brita Plus Water Filter is supposed to be trapping twice more contaminants from tap water."
• "I have not tested to see how much it filters out so I cannot speak to to how much contaminates are filtered out."

Cons:

• "I've had a repetitive issue that’s quite irritating. I have to take the filter out, shake it, bang it against the sink to clear whatever’s going on inside."
• "The water flows through this BritaPlus filter is slower than that of my original standard filter."
• "I can definitely taste the difference in my water."
• "This filter can be a bit difficult to find in stores."
• "The final improvement in taste over the regular version is not discernible."
• "The Brita filters only reduce TDS by about 20%."
• "The first one I pull out has the top separated from the bottom with a bunch of micro beads and charcoal bits inside the wrapper."
• "These filters are not effective. The water flows thru very quickly and after testing for particulates, it only reduced our the ppm from 340 to 316."

Convenience and Ease of Use

Pros:

• "The filter is simple to prepare and easy to install."
• "They're still very easy to use. Just pop them into your Brita pitcher and you're good to go."
• "This is as described. My water is fine, Brita only filters the taste, so it's perfect for my needs."
• "They work in even our older 10+ year old pitcher so we're happy with these replacements."
• "Filters are easy to install and well worth it to get great tasting water for little to no cost."
• "Very easy to change these out and I am really happy that I bought these in bulk."
• "These filters are compatible with my Brita."
• "I use my Brita filter every day, about 4 or 5 times a day for my ice maker, water bottles, plants, meals, etc."

Cons:

• "I find that totally frustrating, even though I press the filters down into place when I set them in."
• "These filters are much slower to process the water than I have noticed over the years usually when they’re brand new they process the water fairly quickly and then as they age they move the water slower this one is moving super slow immediately."
• "I started to fill water. “Why is my pitcher black?” Oh its a broken filter."
• "The water starts to taste poor."
• "The water was running right out of it and not filtering at all."
• "The water, after filtering it with these, tastes the same to me as the brand name's."
• "The filter doesn’t stay in it’s chamber, they don't lock in so they float up out of the blue though the pitcher hasn’t been knocked or bumped."
• "I used to drink bottled water for our house however decided to switch to filtering our tap water instead as a more sustainable and economic way of drinking water at home."
