I just bought two slim style Brita Pitcher, and I find after 2-3 days I have mold under the lid and also around the rim of the filter. I cleaned them carefully, and after 2-3 days the mold is there again. Is there a way to avoid this? Brita says we have to keep water in the pitcher to keep the filter wet. Will this be bad for our health? I am sure they are mold, not the black stuff from the filter.
You know how you're not supposed to have an aquarium or fishbowl in direct sunlight? Same thing - try not to keep the pitcher out of direct sunlight.
If the pitcher is cracked replace it otherwise soak in hydrogen peroxide and wash well. You shouldn't have a problem with gross stuff growing in the water if the water is circulated frequently. If the water starts to get older you can water plants with it.
Alternately, you could store the pitcher in the fridge.

I feel really silly asking this, but can it? I went to get some water out of my Brita pitcher, which was in my fridge, and found little, white "sea anemone" type things on the bottom of the pitcher. When I wiped out the bottom, the white things turned out to be black. So I was just curious what it was.
Truly pure water would not support fungi growth. However, your Brita filter does not come anywhere close to producing pure water, particularly from the stand point of a hardy fungus. There are a variety of fungi that can grow in the presence of very low salts and very low organic matter. All fungi must have some organic matter to digest as an energy source and some inorganic salts. We typically call these fungi mildews. The fungal spores that gave rise to the colonies likely came from variety of sources. The container that you thought was clean, the Brita filter can't remove all the spores from the water and you will introduce spores from the air every time you open the container.
