Answers
How many times would you have to pass urine through the Brita Water Filtration System before it would just be water again? Would this even be possible? The number doesn't have to be exact, just a rough guess (several times versus several filters)
These sort of domestic water filtration systems remove very little - which isn't surprising when you consider the residence time of the water in contact with the filter is only a couple of minutes.
You could potentially do it using some sort of ion exchange resin system, but you would probably need several different types because urine contains a variety of dissolved species.

Unlimited, great-tasting water
Tool-free set up
I am looking to purchase a water filtration system for my kitchen faucet. I have seen Pur and Brita and am wondering which is best. It also looks like they have a level 2 and 3 filtration system. I want to stay within a budget and not go too crazy and am wondering which one is best. Any ideas?

Nope. Perchlorate molecules are smaller than H2O molecules. Reverse osmosis or distillation might but haven't looked into it yet.

www.waterandwastewater.com Go to "help forum" and you should see "perchlorates" listed. Click on it and you can see the answer and who wrote it. My answer is right.
Hope this answers your question as the threat is real.
I'm talking about the kind you attach to the water main, not the Pur or Brita pitchers.
Can you tell the difference in texture and taste?
Anything else I should know? Thanks
if you live in a city in America, there is NO NEED for one, as all potable water passes rigid tests for quality, unlike other countries, where you REALLY need one.

Why Tap Water is Best | Healthy and Green Living
Consumers are wasting billions of dollars a year on billions of gallons of bottled water in large part because advertising spin has led them to believe that water in a bottle is safer or better than tap water.
Truth is, tap water generally is just as safe, clean, and healthy as bottled water, and in many cases more so. In fact, the federal government requires far more rigorous and frequent safety testing and monitoring of municipal drinking water. The Environmental Protection Agency requires that utility companies test municipal water hundreds of times per month, while the Food and Drug Administration requires only one water test per week by bottling companies.
Bottled water causes many equity, public health, and environmental problems. Beverage companies often take water from municipal or underground sources that local people need. As much as 40 percent of bottled water comes from the tap. Producing plastic bottles uses energy and emits toxic chemicals. Transporting the bottled water spews pollution into the air, adding to global climate change.
