For crisp, clean drinking water in small family or single-person households, Brita offers their Slim Pitcher with Filter. The filter reduces impurities and harmful substances from tap water and holds approximately 40 liquid ounces. The slim pitcher fits neatly into many refrigerator doors, enabling users to maximize shelf space. Certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International, Brita water filters contain a mesh screen to catch sediment and particles as tap water flows through into the pitcher's basin. Brita pitchers employ an ion exchange resin with activated carbon granules to draw mercury, zinc, copper and cadmium from tap water, trapping these harmful elements inside the filter. Brita filters eradicate up to 98 percent of the lead found in tap water while significantly reducing other impurities and dangerous bacteria including cryptosporidium, giardia, and benzene. Additionally, the odor and flavor of chlorine are removed from drinking water. Brita filters should be replaced every 40 gallons or after two months of use. Replacement filters can be purchased separately. Wash the Slim Pitcher by hand in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Brita offers a limited 90-day warranty on pitchers in the event of manufacturer defects. The pitcher weighs two pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

Great Price

Perfect size for my dorm living college kid, and the best price I found anywhere. He said the water "tasted terrible" before using the Brita Slim Pitcher.

Not the best filter
»
Filters water, however water still tastes somewhat chlorinated after filtration. When pouring from a full pitcher, water from the unfiltered chamber can leak into the glass if top is not firmly secured. Also the entire top compartment can shift and fall out of place while pouring. These are only minor things that do not compromise the integrity of the filter

Simply great!
»
This pitcher is simply great and it stands up to the infamous Brita name! There is no problem with black crystals in the actual water that has been filtered. I read in a past review that someone had crystals in their water. Well, they could not have followed the instructions for filling & dumping. This pitcher is worth the money and will certainly save you money.

Does what it's supposed to do
»
Having lost my last water filter, I needed a replacement, and I didn't want to spend a lot of money so I bought this product. It does what I want expected it to do - filter water to eliminate some of the (unpleasant) taste of tap water. Of course, your results may vary depending on the geographic location you live in, since the chemicals and taste of water varies greatly from region to region.
The size of this pitcher is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it's rather small, so it easily fits in a variety of places (such as a refrigerator), but because the bottom only holds a few cups of water, you'll find yourself refilling this filter regularly. Some reviewers have mentioned finding filter granules in the water - I've only seen those granules come loose in the top part of the pitcher, not the bottom part which actually holds the filtered water.
