About Brita water filter?

Question

sometimes , even after the filter, the water's a bit murky. why does it do this? has this happened to you? and it's not like it was time to change the filter, i do that every so often.

especially today! ew, the water was so gross i couldnt drink it.

how often do you clean the Brita water.. container? i don't know what to call it.

Answer 1

Reinstall the filter, and then run the water for a couple of minutes through the filter.

Answer 2

Normally when you first change the filter you get that. It is just the charcoal in it. Don't worry though, it is actually good for us. If you don't let water run through it long enough when you change it that can happen.

Also Brita and Pur a very simple and basic filters. They really only do very little to improve taste and smell. They don't do all that much for clarity and health related contaminates.

I would suggest moving up to a purification system. The highest one available is eSpring. Only distilleries can get water cleaner. By year two it actually costs less per gallon than a Brita does anyhow.
