I used the Brita for some years before we got the latest fridge, which
has a filter installed for the water dispenser. The Brita filters ran
about $8 each and lasted about 3 months so $24 for a year's supply.
The current fridge has a $40 filter that is supposed to last a year
but seems to go significantly longer for us; we don't use that much
filtered water.

Brita took the excess chlorine taste out of our tap water. It was a
bit of an annoyance to fill the pitcher; I like the convenience of the
fridge filter. But the Brita worked just fine.
