Brita™ Elite™ Water Filter, Advanced Carbon Core Technology™ Replacement Filter for Pitcher and Dispensers, Made Without BPA, Reduces 99% of Lead, 2 Count (Package May Vary)

I 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..

Water taste great
filters decently quick
bought the ‘slightly used’, were brand new and sealed

highly recommended!

These filters actually produce water that tastes good enough to drink. Their regular filters do not and are exceedingly dreadful.

I like the fact that i only have to change this filter every six months.

I like it because it is cheap and long lasting use

Purchased this for my brita. Was looking for a filter that is long lasting and don’t have to purchase to fast. This brita elite defeats the purpose. It is long lasting and dont have to change it so frequently. You just change it twice a year. Every 6 months to be exact. Very satisfied with this purchase. Thank you!

Fine service and product

These last way longer than the regular filters. Definitely worth it!

The water does taste better, and this brand reportedly works for removing some pollutants.

When brita came out in the 90s, their filters cost about $8 each, filtered lead and harmful things, and lasted a good month or two.

Over the years, they appear to have snuck in cheap junk in the same white case, since bottled water is still $1 a gallon and they had to compete on price. The new filters last a few days or a week or two, don’t filter lead, and often fail and grow mold. For a price that is suspiciously unchanged since the 90s. Yes, the price of a white filter from brita has remained unchanged for almost 30 years! That should be a red flag that corners were cut.

Well, you get what you ( don’t ) pay for. Filters today of good ( original ) quality should be $12-$15 each purely based on inflation. Which these are – just now in a blue plastic container.

Bottom line – if you must have filtered water in your area, this will work as advertised. The white basic ones simply do not.

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 the extended life (6 months) versus the standard filters 2 month lifespan. Fits my brita pitcher perfectly. Filtered water tastes as good or better than the standard filters. Only issue is occasional problems with drainage thru the filter when the pitcher is full which i’ve gotten past by only tapping the pitcher on the counter to clear any bubbles obstructing the filter.

These filters work very well and are good for six months

Yes

After reading reviews & q&a feature was sure these would fit the hot water machine i have but these are much shorter. Thought they were not filtering but then used more pressure to push them down once aligned correctly (used much more pressure than i ever had to on the white filters). It fit and filtered correctly! Hoping these make a difference in how many times the filter needs replacement.

There is no flavor to water as such except that the color of water changes by a slight amount if the water is muddy. Haven’t used it for long till now so cant leave any comments on longevity but i believe this product can be less in price if not using this system for the quality of water.

Very good tasty water and only have to change every 6 months. Also removes lead which would help with the increasing stupidity of our population.

I purchased a three pack of long lasting brita water filters for the first time recently. I am going back to using the brita water system thanks to the encouragement of my son who uses the brita system daily. I like these filters because they are so long lasting. Water falls freely through the filter. It doesn’t take a very long time at all to filter a new pitcher of water. There is no after-taste in the newly filtered water. The reason i took away one star is two-fold: first of all this is a new type of system to me. The thought of using the same filter for such a long time before replacing it seems a little concerning. Secondly i wish there was a way to mark a general change date on the filter or on the pitcher. If you, like me, forget to note the date that you started using the water filter it’s a problem! It is my mistake but i think there needs to be a better way to note the filter replacement date. Other than that i have no problems with using this filter or with buying from this seller. My set of new long-lasting water filters came on time, the set was well packed, and the filters were priced competitively.

Works as expected, a bit expensive.

Cumple con lo que esperas, trabaja bien y es fácil
