I've been Brita-ing my water for at least 25 years. Used to live
where the chlorine was so bad you could smell it.

I keep two pitchers going - in case I suddenly need a lot of water or
someone forgets to fill it. I think it tastes fine. You DO have to
wash the pitchers thoroughly every so often.

They say average two months on a filter. I change em every three
months, as I have two of em going. I buy the five pack at Kmart -
cheapest was to get the filters that I've found. About 19 bucks for
the 5 of em.

My cat won't drink the tap water, so I Brita water for his benefit
also.

There are probably better methods now - like the Pur filter attached
to the faucet. Not sure tho how costly.
If I were rich, I'd install the reverse osmosis system on the whole
water supply to the house, but the Brita will do for now.
