Can a brita pitcher filter all the crap out of it and make it drinkable?, Also will a coffee filter work?, thanks

that's not what a Brita is intended for. I wouldn't suggest drinking rain water....have you ever heard of acid rain?

Review of Brita Pitcher Water Filter System. See what eFilterWater thinks about this system.

My roommate and I are lazy as hell, AND broke. We have a Brita water pitcher and I swear the filter has been in there for at least 8 months, maybe a year. I just want to know if there's a risk of getting sick or poisoned by not changing those little buggers out every 3 months like the box suggests.

We seem fine now.

The filter has pulled out all the contaminants it can. So it is no longer filtering the water. However, since you have maxed out the effectiveness of the chemical component of the filter, not only does it slow the rate at which water passes through the filter, it is also 'washing' the water over the excess contaminants.

If you are not going to replace the filter, you are better off removing the entire thing and allowing yourself to use the entire pitcher.

Price: $16.00

Filter uses an ion resin exchange to reduce lead, copper, mercury, cadmium, zinc, and other impurities from drinking water
Filters should be changed every 40 gallons or 2 months; do not use with microbiologically unsafe water
Pitcher holds 40 fluid ounces of water(5 x 8 ounce glasses) - weighs 2 pounds

I don't think so. You might filter out some of the chemicals and other stuff, but I doubt it will be crystal clear.

I read about an experiment where some guys were pouring cheap vodka through a Brita filter to see if it would make it taste better. It turns out that after sending it through the filter about 5 -10 times, it tasted a lot better, on par with some of the better vodkas. But my point is: it was still vodka.

If you want to try peeing in your Brita pitcher, go for it, but I suspect it will still come out yellow.

I feel like an idiot because it's time to change out the filter on my pitcher. It's the first time I'm changing it. I opened the filter and have it soaking in the water and have taken out the trash with the package with the instructions on it...
I tried twisting the old filter, but it barely budged and I don't want to get it stuck.
I have the vintage pitcher if that makes a difference.

Just push it up from the bottom

I've heard a little about fluoride in sink water and i was wondering what all the noise is about. Also, i don't want to get cancer or anything so i was wondering how accurate a Brita filter pitcher is in removing these harmful additives, thanks in advanced! Tyler

Many people have died or become sick due to the toxic effects of fluoride. It is highly reactive, it is a neurotoxin, and it is carcenogenic at even low levels. Both the Nazis and the US studied fluoride as a poison gas for use during WWII.

Even the small amount of fluoride added to domestic water systems cause flurosis and brittle bones among a percentage of the population. The supposed benefits in use to prevent caries is hotly disputed. The original funding for a flawed study in the 1930s was funded by Alcoa (to help minimize negative impact of the many poisonings due to this dangerous waste product). Fertilizer plant flue gases are trapped in water and shipped directly to municiple water systems.

A traditional water filter does not remove fluoride. You need either a reverse osmosis filter or a distiller. The filters are expensive and must be replaced, and the distiller removes minerals which would perhaps cause de-minerization of your bones.

Get informed by buying "The Fluoride Deception" and reading information on the Internet. WARNING: You can count on glossy articles written for corporate media outlets by staff writers to be totally inept, incomplete, and misleading.
