It's the reservoir that is filling up inexplicably with this stuff. SUMMARY: As mentioned above in Cons, the filter appears to be causing backwash. PROS: Works as advertised, makes Baltimore water taste way better.CONS: Every time I open the reservoir, I see what looks like pepper.FINAL VERDICT: Don't have much of a choice when it comes to what filter you want to put in your Brita. I rinse it out and it keeps coming. Note, this is not going into what I drink, the other way around. When I fill it up with water, there is a top half (reservoir) that slowly allows water to flow through the filter and down into the bottom half. But as long as it doesn't get into my drink, I suppose I can't complain. Just not too appetizing.
These filters are perfect for our Brita. Clean water without having to store bottles upon bottles of water.
I'm glad I bought my Brita. The filter works great. Just be sure to soak it and run water through it a couple of times until the water runs clear. I check the water in a clear glass container because the pitcher is tinted and it's hard to see if the water is clear.
About 95% of all liquid I drink is water, so this slight difference is important to me. I uploaded a picture for everyone to see (click on "see all customer images" at the top of the page). I have been using these for about 6 years now. coming out of it. Also, I have to constantly remind myself that there's stuff at the bottom of the glass so that I won't accidentally swallow it. To Brita, I wish you improve your QA process. I am very OCD, so I follow the directions exactly, which means that it's probably not my fault.
the water tastes better. The water tastes slightly better through this filter than tap water. Still, even with this issue, I recommend this product because the filters are very cheap when bought in bulk and it does work, i.e. About 1 in 4 filters has black stuff (charcoal). This occurs both on the top and the bottom of the filter. For that 1 in 4 product with the defect, it can be annoying waiting for the charcoal to sink to the bottom every time I pour a glass of water. Thus, -1 star.
I have had a Brita pitcher for about a year now and love it. I've done some considerable checking on the internet for replacement filters and this company came out tops. I received the filters promptly, in great shape, and they were all they promised to be at a great price. I highly recommend both the Brita pitcher and this company for replacements.
