Brita Water Filters?




I use the brita water filters. I pour water in from a glass jar into the pitcher so that I don’t have to run water directly from the spicket. I make sure to pour slowly.
Every brita filter we use always has the charcoal specks in it the whole time we use it from start to finish.
I am getting sick and tired of the charcoal specks every time I get a drink.
Is there a brand that doesn’t leak as much charcoal or any charcoal?
Please any suggestions would help. Thanks.

Are they from the same company? And i tried the brita filter container, and it got dirty in 2 days or less, i had to clean it out with soap and water because it had these little things floating in it. Is the PUR water container a better buy?

How does a Brita filter work?




I am just wondering how a Brita work.
Is it basically chromatography?

Does the Brita filter change hard water into soft water by removing Ca or Mg ions?

I took out my old brita filter, and the four holes in the bottom had green dots in it, not just the black I was expecting for the carbon. So I thought it was mold. I bought a new package of filters, and ALL FOUR fillters had the green little balls in them. Does anyone else have these little green balls in their filter ( in bottom four holes) . Is yours just black ( carbon) and I thus have mold?? Help!!!

I’ve recently moved and the area i’m staying in this year has quite horrid water, it doesn’t seem to be doing peoples skin any good either if water can affect that, my friends just bought a brita filter and it wasn’t very expensive but I don’t think I would bother to keep buying cartridges for it as we are only here till summer. Does boiling water then keeping it in the fridge have a similar effect? or not? thanks!
Thank you so much everyone! I know I could have researched it but this was much quicker and I wondered what other people thought of filters, I think I’ll just buy a Brita filter now.
Thank you all!

I have a Brita filter and a water bottle that I keep in my fridge. Whenever I want to drink water, I drink straight from the water bottle, and refill it as needed. Are there germs festering in the water bottle from my mouth? How often do I need to clean it?

I have access to use microscope, petri dishes, incubator, x-ray diffraction machine, gas chromatography, pH meter, and regular chemical experiment equipments.

thanks in advance

I was wondering what was better and why. I just bought a Brita Filter and the water tastes fine, but is it as good in purity as Poland Spring? and if not, are the things that have not been filtered using the Brita making me any less healthy? Thanks.

Basically I’m so cheap that I can’t afford top shelf vodka or a Brita Filter (Note: I’m in college). So really I’m asking for a better, CHEAPER alternative to filtering vodka (assuming you believe in the whole cheap stuff thats filtered multiple times is just as goo as top shelf). Any sugestions would be great! Thanks!
