I took out my old brita filter, and the four holes in the bottom had green dots in it, not just the black I was expecting for the carbon. So I thought it was mold. I bought a new package of filters, and ALL FOUR fillters had the green little balls in them. Does anyone else have these little green balls in their filter ( in bottom four holes) . Is yours just black ( carbon) and I thus have mold?? Help!!!
I've been using a Brita water filter pitcher for several years, and I don't recall ever seeing green dots in the filter cartridges. Their FAQ section says spare filters should be kept in a cool, dry, place, but they should last indefinitely.
You can send Brita's customer support a question at http://www.brita.com/index_us.html , or call them: 1-800-24-27482. (This is contact info. for U.S. customers.) Ask them what's going on! If they say this is normal, please post that info. Thanks.

I bought a BRITA water filter and it worked fine for like three days, then it started tasting funny so i looked at the filter and there were greenish dots on it. I figured this was the problem, so I threw it out and bought another filter. This one also has those greenish dots. What are those green dots and why does my water taste hilarious?

Make your own mossarium! Boing Boing
Moss is awesome! And simple to keep alive even if you travel.
Moss had its heyday back at the turn of the last century when both the US and the UK had their own bryological societies and people built mosseries into their homes where they could enjoy the greenery year round. It's simple to build a mini-mossery, or mossarium, in your own home.
Assembly is straightforward. Put rocks in the bottom of your jar. Pour in small amount of charcoal water. Put Spanish moss on top of it. Add moss. Add frippery such as birch bark, flowers, twigs, pinecones, ceramic frogs. Put the lid on. Put it somewhere out of direct sunlight. Add a tablespoon of water every few months if it looks like it's getting dry.
An excellent field guide for Pacific Northwest mosses is:
