I am asking mainly to see if there is a three stage filter instead of Brita's 2 stage "on tap" filter.

Pur and Brita filters aren't compatible. If you want a 3 stage, you'll have to get a Pur filter.

How to install your new BRITA Filter tap with Sophie. Enjoy visably clear and fresh water with this new system from BRITA.

We normally drink bottled water at home. We use filtered tap water for our hot water. I was just wondering if tap watered filtered by Brita charcoal is safe to drink. My wife says activated charcoal does not filter out organisms or the tiny amout of parasites that might be in the municipal tap water.

I checked the label for the bottled water in the grocery store. They usually say it's been ozonated and filtered by activated charcoal. Even the water from the spring water says it's been filtered. That seems to tell me you need to filter out the organic impurities with charcoal and treat it with something to kill off the germs. Is that correct? Thanks.

Activated charcoal does clean the water to some extent. It will never be completely cleaned of unwanted minerals and microscopic organisms unless you distill it and pour it into a sterile container. But don't worry about it. We probably all ingest quite a bit of dirt and organisms without realizing it. Just think. When was the last time you ate without washing your hands first? Or handled money before you ate French fries? There were probably more germs in one dirty finger than the germs that pass through the charcoal filter in a month.

So relax. Just wash your hands before meals. The water that's been filtered is already much cleaner than the tap water. And the lowly tap water has already been treated and chlorinated. I know of some 80 and 90 year old people that have drunk tap water all their lives.

From their web site:

How the Brita® Pitcher Filter works

As you’ll see below, the process may sound complicated, but it’s really quite simple. All it takes to create fresher, great-tasting water are three separate filtration processes packed into every Brita® Pitcher filter.

* A sieve and bottom filter mesh screen out larger particulate matter from the water
* Activated carbon granules act like a sponge, sucking up Chlorine (taste and odor)
* An Ion Exchange Resin acts like a magnet to attract and hold the impurities Lead, Copper, Mercury, Cadmium and Zinc, at the molecular level

The tap water in my apartment is SUPER hard. I just drank some water because I was very thirsty & didn't want to open a new water bottle tonight, and I think I'm thirstier now than before, and on top of that my mouth feels...weird. And the water smells a lot like chlorine. In a nutshell, it's pretty unpleasant. Would a water filter be a worthwhile investment? I'd probably buy a pitcher rather than one that fits on the faucet.

Yes it would be a good investment. I use the pur filter on my kitchen faucet and use it for drinking water, cooking, and also making tea and other drinks.
