I've got a bad habit of opening a bottle of water, drinking less than half and leaving it somewhere, then forgetting about it and opening a new one.

I understand after a couple days (especially if left uncapped) this is an all-inclusive party for bacteria growth.

Rather than throwing these half-consumed bottles of water, would an effective treatment be to run them through my PUR or Brita Water pitcher in the fridge?

you could boil the water if you were that fearful....

I know on the brita website, it says to hand wash it. However, I was just wondering if anyone has washed it in the dishwasher anyway without problems. Thanks so much!

Well if it says to hand wash it I would, it might melt from the heat in the dishwasher.

I've been thinking about buying a pitcher to filter water but I'm wondering what exatlcy will it remove? Does it remove chlorine and flouride because that's my main reason for buying one.

It looks like both will reduce the chlorine in your water, but they will not do a lot to reduce the fluoride in it.

Brita's pitcher filters removes "only small amounts of fluoride over the life of the filter." The Brita pitcher filters also reduce the amount of chlorine in the water, reduces copper by 88%, reduces mercury by 91%, reduces 99.99% of cysts (crytosporidium and Giardia), and reduces lead by 97%.

As far as the Pur filter pitchers go...
"The PuR 7-Cup Pitcher using The PuR 1-Stage Filter:

* Combines activated carbon to reduce chlorine, sediment, bad taste, and odor with an ion exchange resin that reduces lead and copper. It also reduces pesticides (lindane, atrazine, and 2,4-D) and chemicals that are linked to increased cancer risk (benzene, TTHMs, and toxaphene)."

On the topic of Pur Filters and Fluoride reduction:
"Our household water filtration products leave the benefical fluoride in your drinking water, which may already be present."

Are they from the same company? And i tried the brita filter container, and it got dirty in 2 days or less, i had to clean it out with soap and water because it had these little things floating in it. Is the PUR water container a better buy?

those little black powder particles were from the filter. The filter is a charcoal filter and it's perfectly safe to drink. They actually give charcoal to poison patients to help them clean out their system. It just comes out in your fecal matter.
