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.
You can send Brita's customer support a question at http://www.brita.com/index_us.html , or call them: 1-800-24-27482. (This is contact info. for U.S. customers.) Ask them what's going on! If they say this is normal, please post that info. Thanks.

I bought a BRITA water filter and it worked fine for like three days, then it started tasting funny so i looked at the filter and there were greenish dots on it. I figured this was the problem, so I threw it out and bought another filter. This one also has those greenish dots. What are those green dots and why does my water taste hilarious?

Do they have any water filters that remove fluoride? | I Choose Water
I don’t know if this is exactly the answer you are looking for but I will share what I know.
I don’t know about filtering out fluoride or chlorine, but if you have hard water spots… I think that comes from calcium and magnesium (meaning "hard" water). I have the same issue here and that is what my well guys said.
Options for me: filtering out at the well or filtering at sink (but would only filter out for kitchen sink) with a reverse osmosis system. We are going to filter out at the well because you don’t want the hard water going through the system as it will damage the pipes over time with all the build up. Plus the reverse osmosis system wastes a lot of water. For every gallon your get, you lose 2-4 gallons. Yikes! We are in conservation mode here and I couldn’t do that!
If you are on city water, your water should be fairly good. But contact the water quality control board and ask for results of their water testing to see what is in the water besides chlorine and fluoride (i.e. nitrates, calcium, magnesium, etc.). Good luck.
