Brita pitcher leaked into the water?

Question

My mom usually uses a brita water filter and one day i looked in a cup of water that was just boiled and there was some black stuff in there from the filter. I don't think she aligned the cartridge thing into the slot and thats why some of its leaking. I don't know how long that has been happening but if i drink it is it a problem?

Answer 1

Not a problem!!! I have a Brita water pitcher too and all that black stuff is, is carbon. Carbon is what is in the filter to filter all the water out.
