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

Almost every day I have to scrub a green ring out of the bottom of my Brita filter water pitcher. It's like it's algae or something, but it grosses me out. How can I stop it?

It's one of the drawbacks of the Brita; I get it, too.

You should wash it with hot water and soap, not just remove the ring from the bottom. Also scrub the plastic insert.

It,s been one week that I began to use the Brita pitcher, and I notice a lot of black particles on the upper level of the pitcher. They look like dried black tea, having the size of Nescafe powder particles. They float at the upper compartment of the pitcher.
What could they be?

According to: http://www.brita.com.au/help/frequently_ asked_questions

The black particles are tiny granules of food grade carbon that are used in the cartridge. Our carbon comes from natural sources, usually coconut shell, and can sometimes vary in shape and size. Some pieces can occasionally be unusually small and may escape into the funnel through the cartridge cap. These particles are food grade and the small amount that escape in no way affect the performance of the cartridge.

An effective means of minimising this is to re-soak the cartridge as you would with a new cartridge.

Also:
All materials used in a Brita Cartridge are non-toxic, top foodgrade quality and are in no way dangerous

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.
