Answers
1) If the electronic filter change indicator breaks or runs out of batteries, is the whole system useless?
2) What are the pros and cons of Brita pitchers?
3) If the filter should be change, and I keep using it, what would happen (would the water come out slower, impurities in the water, etc.)?
Thank you.
I have a Brita pitcher, so I can help you with questions 2 and 3. The pros are that I don't have to keep running out to buy bottled water, and I feel more confident about the water I'm drinking. The cons are that the water takes a few minutes to filter, so if I forgot to fill up the pitcher the night before, then it feels like an eternity to filter in the mornining when I want to make coffee. Ok, really, it's only a few minutes, but that's a con when you're used to instant gratification.
According to the Brita website, the filters "fill up" with junk over time and that's why you have to replace them periodically. But they say if you do not replace it, then it will just stop filtering so the worst thing will be "tap water in, tap water out". But it won't add any impurities that weren't already there.

What’s in the Box I read all the reviews about water filters, and went to Lowe’s looking for the Culligan one. But, nothing from that brand was there, and they had this Instapure filter, in addition to the PUR and the Brita. But I read a lot of bad reviews about the last 2, but did not know of Instapure. Given that it was real cheap, I decided to try it.
