Brita Elite Water Filter Replacements for Pitchers and Dispensers, NSF Certified to Remove 99% of Lead, 2 Count

The media could not be loaded. Wed20250528 @Amazon @Brita #BritaEliteThis Brita Elite filter comes nicely packaged and easy to install inside the pitcher. To reset filter life indicator, press the status button for 6 secs until light moves to 'Longlast Filter' option and turns green💚 ;).The Brita Elite Filter doesn't purify water, it just reduces the amount of contaminants like lead, benzene, mercury, cadmium, asbestos & more. Filter needs to be replaced every 6 months or 120 Gallons or when the Brita filter life indicator turns red ❤️.The Brita Elite Filter is tested & certified by IAPMO R&T & NSF International against NSF/ANSI Standard 53 and by WQA against NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53 and 401. What does this mean? That the standardfor removing specific health-related contaminants is met. Some of the contaminants included in this certification are lead, asbestos, volatile organic compounds, Cryptosporidium, perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and chromium🤢🤮.😉Note to anyone that doesn't like fluoride in the water: The Brita Elite doesn't remove fluoride in the water, which is common in this type of water filters (activated carbon). if you want to filter fluoride you'll need different types of filtration like reverse osmosis (RO) & distillation. Activated alumina filters can also reduce fluoride levels.Some activated carbon filters reduce some fluoride levels but not a ton. according to my research, Brita Elite filters do not effectively remove fluoride from water. Brita filters are designed to reduce chlorine taste & odor, as well as some other contaminants like copper and mercury. They don't contain specific mechanisms to remove fluoride.Overall i appreciate the affordability & i enjoy the taste of my drinking water better with this filter so thank you! Mahalo! Gracias mil 🙏! -MarianaFV☯️

This is one of the times that buying the upgrade isn't frivolous. This filter is phenomenal. When you first use it, the water filters quite fast. But when it's near the 6-month mark and you need to replace it, it slows down significantly. I know that sounds silly (or annoying) but I always had filters that went at the same speed regardless of term-of-use. In other words, you know that it is still working hard by the end of the efficacy cycle. Alright, I am no scientist so that is all my assumption. Most important is the taste! I have literally never tasted better water. When I first moved back to Chicago, I thought the tap water was alright as far as taste. Then I got this Brita filter. Oh. My. Gosh. It's insanely delightful and refreshing!

We have some really nasty ahh water. I mean, it's quite putrid since there's some sort of organic decay somewhere in the pipes and the stink of bacteria always proliferates in the kitchen. I actually don't think it's potable from the tap.We actually go through these filters every three months instead of the normal six. Whatever unholy rotting ahh is in the pipes, it does get filtered out and our water is very much clean afterwards.Here is a pic of how nasty our filters get every few months. Ewww.

Too quickly. Still unclear whether this thing is working or not. Stay tuned.

The water at my place used to taste great 5-7 years ago. Since then it has gotten and continues to worsen in both taste and smell. I bought a Brita pitcher and once the original filters were used up, I bought these. They do a great job taking out the stink and awful taste.At the same time, the water has no flavor good or bad. It makes me wonder if there are any good minerals left in the water at all. Without minerals in the water, the water dilutes and flushes away the minerals in the body that we need to be healthy. While these minerals, vitamins and other nutrients need and can be replaced, that is an expensive and difficult process. The best sources are through diet, but that is already difficult and we can only eat so much in a sitting and or day.There are water dispensers out there with filters filter systems out there that leave the good stuff behind leaving the water tasting fabulous, clean, refreshing, and satisfying. The satisfying because the good nutrients are still in the water.These filters Do last a long time. I go over 6 months regularly. But, I am only 1 person and I don’t drink nearly enough water.The filter can float up out of place when filling the water reservoir if not securely inserted into place.The filter will sometimes fall or pop out of place when pouring a glass of water. When this happens with the lid is on, the lid pops off with a lot of force causing big splashing and dumping of water. This happens even when it’s positioned correctly and checked to make sure it’s and secure. Sometimes this happened even when I’ve poured some other glasses from the same batch of added water before the mishap. The water mess can cause time consuming and frustrating cleanup. It can cause permanent and/or costly damage to items such as furniture, carpeting, clothing, and paper products including personal and professional photos, documents and books, etc. The spills can also cause cooking/baking processes to be interrupted and/or damaging to whatever you are making.The filters aren’t cheap, but given how much longer they last than the standard filter, they have less environmental impact. When I first bought the pitcher, there were boxes for sale that had 4 or more filters in it. I haven’t seen those available in a while and the price per unit has gone up quite a bit on buying 1 or 2 packs. I wish they could make a filter out of stainless steel with a natural fibers and filtering substances, like charcoal, but not necessarily charcoal.Recap: The product is a mixed bag.Pros:Price: less than monthly filter replacement and other water filtering products.Convenience: easier than monthly replacement. Less time spent buying.Filter effectiveness: Can get out the things in water that make it taste and smell bad. (Results will vary depending on where you live, water pipe ages and materials the pipes are made of, (in your home, neighborhood, town, county), public water treatment plants, well water and water sources, polluting sources nearby, what is the water, etc.)Cons:Filtering: so effective the water ends up flushing out and/or diluting the minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients one needs for a healthy body.Filter can float out of place when filling the reservoir.Filter can and does sometimes fall or pop out of place which causes the pitcher lid to forcefully pop off, time consuming cleanup, damage to food products (and inadvertently cause damage the products used to cook and bake), at any time during and after the process, and can cause costly repairable damage and/or costly permanent damage to personal and professional, items from inexpensive to very expensive.3) Causes permanent environmental damage.4) Expensive to buy.

I love using these filters with my Brita! They’re super easy to install and last a long time, which makes maintenance a breeze. The water tastes so much cleaner and fresher after filtering. Reliable, effective, and totally worth it!
