Some reviewers are complaining about the timer not working properly.If you read the description for the pitcher you'll have an answer to your question.I didn't and ended up contacting Mavea who explained why the timer on my pitcher ticked down to 0% after only 3 weeks of use.The timer is not simply a clock like you get with the Brita filter.Theirs is a dummy clock that ticks down 2 months regardless of how often you fill it.Mavea claims their timer is more sophisticated than that.It also factors in the hardness of the water and the amount of water you put into the pitcher. My city water is hard (14) and we refill the pitcher quite a bit...even though there's only 2 of us plus a dog in this household.I'm home all day and I drink a lot of water.The dog gets filtered water too in his bowl. :)

So that explains why the timer is not giving all of us the same information.I'd rather know my filter is nearing its usefulness than to not know and keep drinking water from it.

The extra filter keeps those nasty charcoal bits out of my water.I was constantly emptying the Brita pitcher to remove charcoal that had sunk to the bottom of the pitcher.Brita says that's Ok, you can drink the charcoal.No thank you, I'd rather my water pitcher not look like someone has been panning for gold.

The company that makes this Mavea pitcher used to own Brita.After they sold it to Clorox they proceeded to design a better product which turned out to be this water filtration pitcher. Another improvement was to make it out of BPA-free plastic.

Even though I'll have to buy more filters (3-packs) I'm still happy I switched to this brand.
