I have got a Brita water pitcher to filter these black specks and it just lets them run through. Can anyone tell me what these spects or flects are and if they are harmful. Should my Brita water pitcher be filtering them out ?
They are "carbon fines" from the Brita filter element.
Not harmful. Actually helplful.
Don't forget to wash the Brita occasionally. Remove filter element first. Then wash the rest with soap and water and rinse thoroughly. Reassemble before the filter element begins to dry out. Keep Brita in refrigerator, never at room temperature according to the Red Cross.

Trip Notes: Hong Kong
On January 21st we flew from Kunming to Hong Kong in the morning. We took a taxi to the airport and on being dropped off were promptly harassed by cheats who wanted ¥10 for a baggage cart. We dragged our gear inside and naturally the carts were free just out of the taxi drop area. Kunming airport wasn't done with us though; when Pavan went to find water the store wanted ¥28 per bottle - as compared to other airports in China whose inflated price was ¥3-5. However, literally five feet from the ¥28 store, which initially appeared to have a water monopoly, was a duty free store with bottles of water for ¥3. Lol. While waiting for our plane in Hong Kong we sat down next to an Indian couple. They proved to be part of a tour of forty-one people. They were from Jaibupur and in true stereotypical fashion absolutely insisted on giving us Indian food and desert they had brought....
Brita Water Filter Issues
Brita is a popular brand name company that supplies all sorts of water filtration technology to the masses. I have both a tap attachment and a special filtering jug that I can put in my fridge. I have had issues with both.
The issues I had with the tap attachment aren’t really the fault of Brita, except for one, while the jug is pretty much all on Brita.
The tap attachment seems easy enough. You attach it to your kitchen sink and when you want pure, filtered water, you flip a switch and it begins filtering. The first issue I had was attaching it to the tap. It isn’t all that easy for someone that can’t build anything other than computers. After a bit of messing about, I got it on the tap at our apartment. It worked well, except for one major shortcoming: no cold water. The water that the apartment dished out never got very cold, nor did it ever get very hot. It was always room temperature, and as such, it wasn’t very nice to drink.
