why are there black dots on the bottom of it?
im guessing its not a good thing but what am i suppose to do to get rid of them?
thanks:)
It's probably charcoal, that's what it uses to filter the water.
SKIP TO 2:40 TO SEE RESULTS (the two cups in the middle have no filter, the two on the ends of the table have the new filter, the other two have ...
The filter is new and I never noticed this before until now. I read the instructions on how to use a new filter by soaking it in water for 15 minutes and I did that.
Now my water has black specks?! Do I need to soak it again or do I just need to dump it out and get a new water filter like a different brand?!
And what are those black specks? Is it bad if I drank the water that contained those black stuff.
my friend has the same problem with her brita filter. but hers also has black specks on the top where you pour the water in. looks like pepper.
The specks are actually little pieces of carbon. It's not dangerous at all. The inside of the filter is filled with those little black pieces of carbon. The carbon is actually what absorbs all of the chemicals from the water.

For use with the Pur 2 Stage water pitchers and dispenser
Reduces lead and contaminants in water
Leaves beneficial fluoride in the water
every time i pour it out and pour tap water through the filter i always find little specks of black things. is it safe to drink or should i return it?
it's perfectly safe. Sometimes they give the same activated charcoal to patients in hospitals to help with some ailments. Not to worry. Little tiny specs of it won't make a difference.

My mom usually uses a brita water filter and one day i looked in a cup of water that was just boiled and there was some black stuff in there from the filter. I don't think she aligned the cartridge thing into the slot and thats why some of its leaking. I don't know how long that has been happening but if i drink it is it a problem?
Not a problem!!! I have a Brita water pitcher too and all that black stuff is, is carbon. Carbon is what is in the filter to filter all the water out.
my brita water filter where you put water in a container and the water drains to the bottom through a filter always leaks out these black particles. i believe they are meant to filter the water and come loose in the process my mom says its safe to drink but i highly doubt it. we use a top of line filter but this stuff just comes out of it. has anyone heard of this and is it dangerous?
The black particles are just activated charcoal. It's perfectly fine to injest them, as a matter of fact, it can aid your digestion.
You should change the filter every few months because the pores in the charcoal do become clogged and it doesn't taste as fresh. You should also change it out because bacteria and mildew can build up in the pitcher and filter. When you change the filter use that same time to rinse the pitcher with 2-3 drops of common bleach. Then rince once or twice.

Dear Sir / Madam, what a great disappointment!!untill now I have always received my parcels without any problem, but they were not coming from amazon. This time, your parcel never arrived to me because "Home delivery network" are an absolute disaster and completely unfriendly to customers. First you can only contact them through an automated service where there is no choice to speak to a human being. Second even if you give telephone numbers (i gave my landline and my mobile number) for them to contact you if they needed, nobody tried to contact me at all!!! I finally tried putting a note on the door to live the parcel with our neighbours. Unfortunately they were not in, but even then nobody tried to contact me. I am extremely disappointed and upset and for sure even if I will order things though Amazon, I will make sure they are not delivered by you. Last annoying bit was that I couldn't...
