I am asking mainly to see if there is a three stage filter instead of Brita's 2 stage "on tap" filter.

Pur and Brita filters aren't compatible. If you want a 3 stage, you'll have to get a Pur filter.

How to install your new BRITA Filter tap with Sophie. Enjoy visably clear and fresh water with this new system from BRITA.

I'm going to Cancun next month and was wondering if the tap water would be safe to use if i brought a Brita filter and filtered it

No, Brita is used more for removing minerals from the water not microorganisms. I would recommend using bottled water or water tablets.

Price: $34.99

100-Gallon capacity
Attaches easily to the faucet without tools
Removes 99-Percent of lead and chlorine

Or does it just make tap water taste better? I can't really find info on their website. The reason I'm asking is because the tap water in my county is known for having high amounts of chlorine by-products suspected to cause miscarriage and I drink Brita-filtered tap water daily. I want to know if the Brita water is safer or if it just makes it taste better than tap. Thanks in advance!

From the Brita website:
Basically the activated charcoal in the filters traps the chlorine so you do not drink it.

Why is chlorine added to tap water?

Treatment Plants add chlorine at P.O.E. (Point of Entry) to remove germs and ensure they don't re-appear while the water travels many miles through the pipes to your tap (P.O.U. ...Point of Use). While the amount of chlorine added is regulated and not considered dangerous, it does impair taste and odour plus there is a definite chance that it can combine with organic compounds to produce chlorinated hydrocarbons that may lead to health related problems. The activated carbon in the Filter will reduce the chlorine by up to 99%.

Water dispenser with filter; reduces chemicals, bad taste and odor in water
Filter-life gauge indicates when filter needs to be replaced
Advanced filtration system; reduces more contaminants than other pour-through filters

I drank like more than 3 liters of water today and all that water was from my brita filter. Is this safe?

Does the brita filter out all the harmful substances?

Your tap water should not contain any harmful substances already, filtering it with a Brita will really only make it taste better. It is perfectly ok to drink your water from a Brita filter. You've already filtered it once, how many more times where you planning on filtering it?

From their web site:

How the Brita® Pitcher Filter works

As you’ll see below, the process may sound complicated, but it’s really quite simple. All it takes to create fresher, great-tasting water are three separate filtration processes packed into every Brita® Pitcher filter.

* A sieve and bottom filter mesh screen out larger particulate matter from the water
* Activated carbon granules act like a sponge, sucking up Chlorine (taste and odor)
* An Ion Exchange Resin acts like a magnet to attract and hold the impurities Lead, Copper, Mercury, Cadmium and Zinc, at the molecular level
