Bought this product about a year ago. After 12 months it developed a crack in the plastic body and started spraying water all over the place. Since the product came with a 5 year warranty I thought I would be covered. Ha... After an hour of discussion on the phone with customer service in India, I was told it was only a 1 year warranty. Insisting I know the difference between the number 1 and 5 didn't help much. I ended up getting a 10$ voucher towards buying.... you guessed it.... another inferior Pur product.

Go for Brita - at least they stand behind their products

Brita 42558 Aqualux Water Pitcher Review

Brita 42558 Aqualux Water Pitcher
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been using Brita water pitchers for a few years and I am a big fan of it. The taste of the water is very nice. It eliminates the need to buy dozens of bottled water every month and it helps the environment because it reduces the waste made from the plastic bottles. The previous pitcher that I have been using was poorly designed, but this pitcher is very much improved from the older ones. It's silm shape fits better in the fridge and the lid doesn't fall off when you pour, which happend quite frequently with the older model. The smaller lid is my favorite feature of this pitcher which makes filling it so easy. The electric timer is a TIMER, not a SENSOR. You reset the timer when you change the filter and the timer will count down 2 months, which is the usual lifespan of the filter.

Over all, a very nice water filtering pitcher. If you're sick of the plastic water bottles I would definitely recomend this product. Plus helps keep the environment clean!

Product Description:
The Brita Aqualux Water Pitcher turns ordinary water into healthier, great-tasting drinking water without costing a fortune and without the waste of bottled water. With Brita's advanced filtration process, you can enjoy water that's free of harmful substances and unappealing chlorine taste. Despite its slim profile, this smartly designed pitcher has capacity of 48 ounces, making it perfect for the whole family.
The Brita Aqualux
Water Pitcher offers:

    Efficient, compact storage
    Capacity up to 48 ounces
    Reduction of potentially harmful impurities
    Clean, better tasting water
    A convenient, electronic filter change indicator
    A flip-top lid and soft-grip handle


Each Brita filter helps reduce waste by substituting for an estimated 300 water bottles.



A flip top lid makes refills easy, and an electronic indicator ensures that you know when to change the filter.


Purified water is a powerful way to keep your whole body revitalized and uplifted.

All Brita Pitchers are universally compatible with Brita Pitcher Replacement Filters. Filtration System Reduces Harmful Contaminants
With the Aqualux Water Pitcher, you and your family can enjoy clean, better-tasting water straight from the tap. The pitcher's included Ion Exchange Resin filter acts as a magnet for impurities that are often found in tap water, such as lead, copper, mercury, cadmium, and zinc. The filter removes these impurities, reducing their potentially harmful effects. The filtering process also reduces that taste and odor of chlorine, thanks to a special sponge-like filtration system.


The end result is clean, better tasting water that is healthier for everyone. This is especially good news for children and pregnant or nursing women who are more susceptible to potential harm from lead and other impurities. Filters should be changed every 40 gallons or two months and are not intended for use with microbiologically unsafe water.


All Brita Pitchers are universally compatible with Brita Pitcher Replacement Filters.


Filter Change Indicator Ensures Healthier, Great-Tasting Water
Changing your filter regularly ensures that you will always have clear, healthful, great-tasting water. The Electronic Filter Change Indicator makes it easy to know when it is time to replace your filter. Every two weeks an indicator bar will disappear from your pitcher's electronic display. After two months, when all the bars have disappeared, an arrow will flash at the top of the display reminding you to change your filter. Reset your filter change indicator each time you replace your filter to make sure your water is always healthier and great tasting.


Smart Design Features Make Water Filtration Easy
The Aqualux Water Pitcher is built smart to make water filtration easy. The pitcher cover has a flip top so that you do not need to remove the entire lid to refill the pitcher. A contoured, soft-grip handle makes the pitcher comfortable and easy to lift and pour.


Stylish and slim, the Aqualux is designed to fit into your refrigerator door so you'll always have plenty of cold, filtered water on hand. Despite its compact size, the pitcher holds up to 48 ounces of water, enough for six eight-ounce glasses, making the Aqualux a practical choice for your family.


Improves Your Health and Invigorates Your Senses
Water is a vital resource in energizing your mind and body, and using a Brita Pitcher ensures that the water you're drinking is in top quality. It helps your body regulate its temperature, keeps skin clear and glowing, and aids in the transport of nutrients to the brain and other organs. It also acts as a powerful aid in digestion, metabolism, and detoxification. Brita recognizes the importance of water to human well being and takes special care to optimize the healthfulness of your drinking water, so you can keep fit and energized.


A Simple Way to Support the Environment
It's estimated that one Brita pitcher filter can substitute for the use of 300 water bottles, many of which end up in landfills. By using Brita filters, which are now recyclable through a Brita and Preserve filter recycling program, you lower your impact on the environment while benefiting your own health and possibly your wallet, too. Plus, your support of the Brita Products Company goes toward help environmental efforts like the Brita Climate Ride, a five-day bike ride whose participants raise money for climate change awareness.

WaterPik F-8 Instapure Faucet Water Filter, contemporary style Review

WaterPik F-8 Instapure Faucet Water Filter, contemporary style
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We have tried Brita and Pur faucet filters. Neither lasted. The knob on the Brita was hard to turn in the first place, but rapidly grew impossible to turn. The Pur broke soon after installing it. I have had the WaterPik faucet filters before and I don't know why I bothered to try other brands. This particular model is terrific. The flow of filtered water is strong(the Pur and Brita filters barely trickle,) and it has a nice feature whereby the filtering mechanism automatically turns off when you turn the faucet off. The handle is very easy to pull. It's a very effective, nicely designed and convenient filter. I just hope it is durable.

Culligan PIT-1 Water Filter Pitcher Review

Culligan PIT-1 Water Filter Pitcher
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this pitcher. The price is rock-bottom, as are the replacement filters (I was able to get the pitcher and 1 years worth of filtration for less than the price of just a Brita or PUR pitcher alone).
The water tastes great, the pitcher fills pretty quickly, it's easy to clean and the filter changes easily. The LID is an issue, but a very small one for me personally. It does flip off easily, but that is solved by just pressing it with your thumb when you pour. A very minor inconvenience in an otherwise excellent product.

ZeroWater ZD-023 23-Cup Water Dispenser and Filtration System Review

ZeroWater ZD-023 23-Cup Water Dispenser and Filtration System
Average Reviews:

Get this and drink clean water!

I've been using a zerowater pitcher for about a year.Just got this larger dispenser and couldn't be happier.So much easier than buying bottles and the water is much cleaner and healthier (I add mineral drops to make it perfect).I am sensitive to Chlorine and Fluoride so zerowater makes me feel much better.

Most bottled waters are not nearly as pure as zerowater and contain chlorine, fluoride, or some of both.Lots of companies even add the fluoride after getting it clean.Maybe some people want it, but I don't.Of course bottles are a bad solution anyways, since the plastic chemicals can get into the water, and the bottles themselves create a lot of waste.

Not everyone needs to avoid chemicals in their water like I do, but everyone can enjoy drinking clean water.With this dispenser you can even cook with clean water.I drink the water cold, heat it in my electric kettle for tea, and make soup, all with perfectly pure water.

Just as a note, another reviewer mentioned using a PH test kit for a swimming pool.That test is not useful for drinking water.Typically pure water has a PH of 7, while your pool should be more alkaline (7.2 - 7.8 usually).So, an "acidic" result actually is further proof that the water is pure and below the test kit's range.Tap water tests more alkaline due to dissolved salts/minerals as well as chlorine, fluoride, etc.Because PH is a logarithmic scale, it would be completely normal to require large quantities of more alkaline water to raise the PH of pure water into the range of tap water or pool water.

Product Description:
With its generous 23-cup capacity, this innovative water-filtration system keeps pure, filtered drinking water conveniently accessible--its sleek, space-saving design fits neatly on the counter or on a shelf in the refrigerator. Functioning as both a water filter and a handy dispenser, the unit comes equipped with a push-button spout for simple one-handed dispensing into a glass, water bottle, or other beverage container, or even into a pot for cooking. Unlike conventional two-stage carbon filters, the dispenser's next-generation filtration system combines five levels of water-purifying technology. First, its activated carbon and oxidation reduction alloy removes the chlorine taste typically associated with tap water. Next, its Ion Exchange stage removes virtually all dissolved solids that may be left over from public water systems or even leached into water from aluminum, lead, and other types of piping. Finally, three additional stages of filtration remove other impurities and ensure the water receives the appropriate amount of treatment time to deliver a "000" reading on the included laboratory-grade Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) water-testing meter. Other accessories include a patented dual Ion Exchange water filter, a handy user manual, and $35 in coupons for future filter purchases. Thoughtfully designed, the water dispenser also provides a built-in TDS meter holder, a flip-up lid for easily adding more water, and a shape that completely dispenses all the water inside, which means no stale water to worry about. A useful addition to any busy and health-conscious household, the 23-cup water-filtration dispenser measures approximately 6 by 11-1/5 by 15-1/5 inches and carries a 90-day limited warranty.

Watts 7-PK RO Filters Premier 1-Year 5-Stage Reverse Osmosis Replacement Filter Kit Review

Watts 7-PK RO Filters Premier 1-Year 5-Stage Reverse Osmosis Replacement Filter Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this filter kit for my Watts Premier WP5-50 RO unit. The package's shrink wrap was broken (I guess) in shipping, but each of the canister type filters had individual shrink wrap so I have no worry about dirt contamination. The final 'polishing' filter was not shrink wrapped, but it had end caps so I have no worry there.

Just so this is 'clear', a RO membrane is not included. This is a kit for sediment and carbon filter replacement only, NOT the RO membrane. Still a good price.

The final filter (indeed a 10 inch one) had a sticker on it, with some specs = (Watts Premier, Model RIL-10a, flow 0.5gpm, capacity 1000gal, NSF certified, pressure 25-100psi, temp 32-100f, and flow direction arrow) also the package had a 'Made in USA' flag logo on it.

Just for fun, I purchased a replacement polishing filter for my WP5-50 RO unit at the 'Watts Premier' web site. It had a sticker that read only 'Made in Taiwan' They look to be the same filter with different manufacturers. The Taiwan Watts filter did include the end 'screw in' fittings that may not be needed but are nice to have. Enjoy.
