Pitcher water filters......
I have a Brita that is many years old and I'm thinking of replacing it soon.
Usually I fill it with water from fridge with a filter and mostly use it for coffee.....who here says what : |

Same at my house. Used a Brita for many years, but primarily use the filtered water out of the fridge.

if the water from the fridge is already filtered, why filter again with a brita?

I love the ZeroWater filter. Available everywhere.
A very ballsy marketing move is that it comes with a water impurity meter. It has three digits in the readout. Read your tap water unfiltered, then after running it thru the filter. With a new filter it's always 000. Kind of makes me want to try reading filtered water of other brands but I don't own any others. Keep checking the water as you use it. When it gets above 006 they recommend replacing the filter but I'm cheap and I can't taste anything wrong at 006. I let it get up around 030 or 040 before I change mine. |

I have never noticed any bad 'city' water in any house, now decades ago my folks had a filter installed on the ~100' well.....and it did improve the water a noticeable amount......
but 'city' water?? never an issue..... rusty pipes, another issue entirely..... copper pipes, another issue.... |

i haul our water from a bulk water dispensing facility, 285 gallons per trip. that goes into a 2500 gallon buried cistern which has a submersible pump that pumps the water to the house. at the house, the water goes thru a reverse osmosis filter and a 5 micron sediment filter (sediment first) and then thru a remineralizer (calcium carbonate) and then into a 450 gallon day tank. from the day tank, another pump pressurizes the water to the house taps, but first the water goes thru a UV light and then a carbon filter. it's very pure water. not a cheap system. originally put in to treat the crummy well water we had, but when the well went dry, we put the cistern in, and then updated the RO set up. we use about 700 gallons of raw water a week, and about 65 gallons thru the tap on an average (non-laundry) day. so i have to make 2 or 3 water hauls each week. |

it's no big deal, i was asking out of curiosity, e.g. maybe there was something about your water supply that needed it. |
