Does somewhere recycle Brita filters?


In Canada, every Brita filter comes with an envelope to return the used filter for recycling. This is not the case in the US for some strange reason. We should really complain to Brita about that.

I've been putting my Brita filters in the recycle bin.

Is filtered brita water bad for fish? What are some colorful fresh water fish?
Ta Daa!

I am deciding whether to start a fresh water fish tank or a salt water fish tank. I have heard arguments on both sides on which tank is easier to keep. I know that salt water fish are a lot prettier than fresh water fish. Is there any nice fresh water fish that are colorful like salt water fish? I have a 40 gallon tank. Any suggestions?

On another topic… I had a beta fish that died after about 2 days of switching his water. I used half Brita filtered water and half bottled water. A couple days after he died I got 2 gold fish and they died very soon also. I cleaned and changed the water with the new gold fish but used the same combo of water. Is Brita water bad for fish?


Brita water is ok for fish, no problem there. It is equal to water that has been run through a filter that contains carbon ( interesting that the Brita does the same as your tank filter yet people say it's bad) Brita filters do not remove the vast majority of minerals from the water. It will remove suspended materials but not dissolved materials and would not affect the hardness for example. So your Brita didn't do it.

As for colorful freshwater fish I would suggest you check out African cichlids and killifish. They might surprise you.

What do you do with used Brita filters?
Kim - 187/356

I have a Brita filter, and I just finished using my first removable cartridge that you place in the filter. But what do you do with the used Brita filters? It feels weird to put it in the trash and create more waste when I initially bought the Brita filter to minimize my plastic bottle usage and be more environment-friendly.

Any thoughts?


I just put mine in the trash. You still saved a load of plastic by not using bottles.

My brita filter just broke and I have well water is it safe for me and my puppies?
(Untitled)

I have well water and never really drank it , I have always used brita filters on my faucet. Is well water safe? It passed the health inspection in Nov 07 but I am just worried about other issues, like I heard somebody found ameba (sp?) from well water.
It is late and we are all thirsty!


I grew up on well water, and not from just one well. For the first 16 years of my life that's all we had. I personally think it's much better than municipal water. Like some people said you can boil it if you're super worried, but we never had a single problem the entire time I was growing up. In fact, at least on our wells we had tested, you actually get more minerals from well water than typical water sources. In my opinion, drink up!

  • Brita 3 way water filter kitchen tap Review - SharedReviews

    I love water as everyone should. As a person who care about the environment and packaging issues around certain disposable items I have always been keen to use tap water and filters for my daily intake. I did use the Brita Jugs for w ahile but always found them hasslesome. They took place on the counter top, never fit in the fridge and the lifetime of the filter was just 30 days or less (the amount I drink) which mean having to change/ buy filters all the time.

    Then at a home show, I wandered to the Brita stand where they were selling their then new Brita taps. Enjoy instant Brita filtered water fresh from these top quality Francis Pegler taps! These specially developed water filter taps offer all the benefits you'd expect from Brita filtered water: less limescale, less chlorine and fewer impurities. The unique Brita cartridge fits discreetly under the sink and delivers 500 litres of Brita filtered water. (In my household that lasts 3 months or more). A handy indicator at the base of the tap uses a traffic light system (green/amber/ red) to tell you when the cartridge needs changing. The changeover takes less than a minute as the cartridge just screws on and off so you can easily change the cartridge yourself. The initial installation in the UK was done by a Brita approved plumber which was fine as when the bought the tap, it was just a matter of a phone call to book in a date and everything else was done for me.
