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?

How long does it take to fill a Brita pitcher and filter the water?

Mine (filled all the way to top) takes about 3 minutes.

They're not actually in the pictcher but in the filter part - the part you put the water in. It comes from the part that the water filters through. It kind of freaks me out. We rinsed out the filter part by "sloshing" the water around to clean out the filter but more came out. We've only had it about a month!

Make sure you soak your Brita filter in water for about 10 minutes and then rinse it off in clean water before you install it.

If there are still some carbon pieces floating in your water dump the first pitcher of water and try again.

Either way, these little specs pose no threat but they can be annoying.

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.
