Perfect for areas with weird tasting tap waterI’m really picky about how water tastes, I went a year avoiding our hard gross tap water by buying 2.5 gallon jugs of spring water every couple weeks. The water softener just doesn’t do enough, and there’s always visible white clouds that have to settle when getting a glass of water from the tap.I finally looked into Brita filters, and I’m so glad I did! It makes the tap water we already have tasty, clear, and drinkable ! I’m happy, the cats are happy, they actually drink out of their bowls regularly instead of standing in the tub waiting for the faucet to drip. Their bowls aren’t stained with the white sediment anymore. So worth it!! The box says these blue ones last up to six months, I’d say after 3-4 months I noticed a slight change in the taste, but it’s still clear and considerably better than straight from the tap.i ended up changing it after about 4 months but I definitely could’ve left it in longer. Highly highly recommend!

Improvement on the former modelThe last filter I got for my Brita pitcher was the LongLast, which was rated at the same 120 gallon life as this one. There have been complaints that it took a long time for the water to filter through, and that’s true – these only work if your use is low enough that you can pour what you want, fill it and put it back in the fridge. It’ll be ready to go for next time. If you sit there waiting for it you won’t be happy.The Elite series seems to do everything the LongLast did, same life, same taste, but it flows faster now. So it’s a shorter wait before the water filters through. Haven’t timed it, but I’m guessing about half the time. These filters get used in a variety of products, so actual time will depend what it’s in. It’s still not something you want to use for heavy use needing rapid refills, but it’s a substantial improvement.

It filters.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.

Switched from regular Brita filterI recently switched to this filter and now my water tastes better than ever. It takes longer to filter than the other replacement but it’s worth it. I use to have to add lemon to my water just to make it enjoyable. I’m curious to see if the water quality remains the same after the recommended 6 months.

Best pick!Get the Blue Originals…. The knock off ones do NOT work. Wife got 2 or 3 nock offs in a box. They sucked. Water runs fast thru the nock offs. How can it Filter if its pouring thru??? Spend the money…go Britta O.G. blue.

Last LongerI’ve been using a Brita pitcher for years. Let’s be honest, they say the base filters last up to 2 months, but I usually get 2 weeks before I taste the difference using tap water.I finally purchased these Elite filters and they definitely last longer. I’m currently on week 3 and the water still tastes fresh.I’ll buy the Elite filters more often if I can get some type of value pack.

Really makes a difference!I expected this filter to just last longer than the regular ones, and to filter out more of the things that you can’t taste but are still important to remove. Turns out the taste is noticably improved as well! I will definitely be sticking with this filter in the future.

Perfect Fit and PriceI love that Britta uses one filter for all sizes of water filters. It takes the guesswork out of it. This fit perfectly, at a great price. I bought the single because at the time of purchase it was cheaper than two. Also arrived quickly.

Excellent ProductI am so happy I found this at Amazon. I have been wanted to get a lead filter for a long time. I read Consumers Report and they recommended getting a Purr brand that filtered the lead out of the water. However, it would required buying the whole picture and filter, which was a lot more expensive than Britta. Also, it did ‘not’ state anywhere on the Purr specifications that it filtered out the lead in the water. Although, the Britta specifically states that it does filter lead and other chemicals. I can slso tell the difference in the tast of the water which is an improvement. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase..
