When my mom moved into her Assisted Living Facility it came with a small refrigerator. She likes cold water so I couldn't get a large Brita Filtration System. Instead I bought her the Brita Pitcher Water Filtration System in the Slim Model. This is the most compact system so the box tells me.
A Closer View
We used a Brita System for years until we got an outside water system on our refrigerator. I found the water to taste clean. In fact we are told that it is certified to reduce chlorine; mercury; and lead. It has the Good Housekeeping sign of approval on the box.
Some Specifications
The Brita Water Slim Pitcher is 10.6 inches by 9.1 inches x 4.2 inches which fits in perfectly in her refrigerator.
Brita offers a limited 90-day warranty.
The Brita Pitcher comes with one filter. Filters should be changed about every 2 months.It came with a complicated sticker to help me remember when to refill it.
It holds about 40 ounces of water.
Setting Up the Brita Pitcher
Setting this up was really a cinch (mostly). I soaked the filter for 15 minutes; washed the pitcher; rinsed the filter under cold water; inserted the filter into the reserve lining up a groove with a notch. Now truly I had a bit of trouble with this. I have no idea why - maybe I was just in a hurry but I finally got this lined up and it was good to go.
I did as was suggested and that was to fill it a couple of times and dump the water (or use it to water your plants) because carbon dust will appear the first few fillings. I actually did this several time before I didn't see any carbon in the water.
Pros
Cons
Price: I paid $10.99 in the grocery store. You can find it here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000AP7NV for $11.99.
Jo's Viewpoint
In spite of the Cons I think the Brita Pitcher Water Filtration System is great and would buy it again.
