Brita BB01 LongLast Replacement-Pitcher-Water-Filters, Plastic, Blue

Slow to deliver since this comes from outside UAE, but works as expected. Seems to be original. Of course i am not doing a scientific test of the water pre and post filter, but it does seem to filter out smells and tastes (for some weeks before this came, we ran out brita jug without any filter, and it was picking up smells like onion, etc from the air in the fridge, and after we installed the new one, the water 100% has no foriegn smell/taste anymore)

Easy to install and reduces frequency of filter change.

De los mejores filtros de agua, especiales para esta época de falta de agua

These are worth it to filter more contaminates, use less plastic, and spend less compared to cost of two-month Brita brand. They fit in different Brita pitchers, but may need a firm push to make sure it is sealed and water is not bypassing the filter. It is normal for the filter to get more saturated every month and water flow will slow down. In month five I noticed if the filter processed extra gallons, the flow may get very slow and the water gets a taste -then I replace it. But this is rare since I am the one person is using it. If the pitcher is refilled more than two times a day or an extra large dispenser is used, one may need to change the filter more often.

I think I might prefer the ones you have to change more frequently as it limits bacteria, but these have been holding up well. Lead filtering is kind of useless unless your building was built in the 60s or older, as most pipes are not lead by 70s. Get some water test strips and you can see if your water has lead or not; that’s what I did and the water is good here. Tested elsewhere in a different city and the results showed hard water.
