Why do I see black dots/tiny chips coming out of the water filter? What is inside the filters? Something to do with charcoal? Any idea what makes up the filters?
Extra question: How much does it actually filter the water? I still get that chlorine-ish taste that I do from the tap.
This requires a semi-detailed answer. I want to know WHY and HOW IT WORKS. Thanks.
Bottled water is bad for the environment. I suggest drinking non-bottled whenever possible. If you do get a plastic bottle, refill it with filtered water instead of buying a new one. It will save you money and it's better for everyone.
it's charcoal pieces but if theyre coming out and it still tastes like tap you just need to get a new filter, not a whole new water jug but they sell individual filters

I took out my old brita filter, and the four holes in the bottom had green dots in it, not just the black I was expecting for the carbon. So I thought it was mold. I bought a new package of filters, and ALL FOUR fillters had the green little balls in them. Does anyone else have these little green balls in their filter ( in bottom four holes) . Is yours just black ( carbon) and I thus have mold?? Help!!!
I've been using a Brita water filter pitcher for several years, and I don't recall ever seeing green dots in the filter cartridges. Their FAQ section says spare filters should be kept in a cool, dry, place, but they should last indefinitely.

why are there black dots on the bottom of it?
im guessing its not a good thing but what am i suppose to do to get rid of them?
thanks:)
It's probably charcoal, that's what it uses to filter the water.
hi...my boyfriend and i just got a brita water filter and i know that there are actual little black dots in the top part where the filter is but we've noticed really really small black specs in the water itself. whats the deal? thanks!
It is just little bits of charcoal from the filter. My husband and I have them in ours, too! They won't hurt you, but you can fill the top with water a few times and then dump it out to make them go away.
