I bought a culligan filtered water pitcher and water tastes weird?

Question

I bought a cheap Culligan water pitcher from Walgreens for $10 that's charcoal filtered. The water tasted very strange. I normally drink tap water and like it a lot, but once filtered it added a strange taste at the end. Almost reminds me of lemon. My boyfriend agrees the water tastes different but not necessarily with the lemon comparison.

I have had water from Brita pitchers and don't recall it having the weird taste. Has anyone else experienced this? What causes it?

Answer 1

Sounds like it too cheap i would go back to the Brita filter jug. I have been using one for years and never had a strange taste.

Answer 2

The problem is the cheap filter...Go get the Brita

Answer 3

Your first sentence of your question is the problem. When you buy commie made garbage from Walgreens. I use brita and don't ever have a problem.  Also, when you buy a new pitcher, you are supposed to dump the first few pitchers of water out, but i am assuming that you knew that already.
