Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brita 35378 Grand 80-Ounce Water Filtration Pitcher, Green
Customer Review: Works *Well* But Don't Over-Fill! Water Must Be *SAFE* To Drink...
Summary: 4 Stars
The BRITA GREEN WATER PITCHER is really nice looking and comes with an automatic "change filter" reminder.
I was a little hesitant in buying it after reading some of the reviews here on Amazon, but when Target had a sale I caved in. My old one was probably one of the first ones to come off the assembly line and was so old that the pitcher was fogged up from hard water stains and the lid spout broke off. So it was time for a new one.
Basically this BRITA GREEN is like the older one: you soak the filter in water first, then place it in the holder and then add water to the reservoir. The water filters through and ends up in the pitcher. Clean tasting drinking water right from the tap! One note though: the water has to be SAFE to drink in the first place because the PITCHER will not filter out contamination or organisms that can cause sickness (it's in the fine print).
Anyway, like most reviewers have pointed out the BRITA GREEN PITCHER will leak water from the top if you over fill the reservoir. If the pitcher is full, DO NOT fill the reservoir past the halfway point and then it won't leak. My old one never had this problem; I could top it off with water even when the pitcher was full and it never leaked, so I think that's why most people had this problem and thought it was a defect. I guess it's in the design change, which is so subtle that I can't tell what's different, but it will definitely spill out if you over fill.
The other thing I noticed was it seemed to pour a lot slower than my old one. Water wouldn't pour with much pressure, which I found odd, but I found a fix. If you angle the pitcher just slightly to the opposite side of your pouring hand and then tilt it forward the water comes out fast, like it should, rather than if you just pour with the front-to-back tilt. Since I hold the pitcher with my right hand, I angle it slightly to its left side and it pours like a charm! This is another thing that didn't happen with my old one so clearly there was some design tweaking that changed the function of the pitcher.
And as far as the charcoal or whatever that black stuff is in the filter coming out into the water that will happen if you over fill it. But the instructions recommend to fill the pitcher once and then throw out or save the filtered water for some other use and then re-fill it whenever you start a new filter and don't over fill it. I don't remember doing that with my older one, either, but even if that stuff gets into the pitcher it usually settles at the bottom and you won't be drinking it in. Whenever I change the filter, I slowly pour the remaining filtered water into a large bowl but throw out the water at the bottom and wash the pitcher etc.
The gadget that tells you when to change the filter is easy to set, you just hold down the buttons for a few seconds to reset it. The bars will go down as the weeks go by, and when you have no bars it's time to change the filter. It's located on the lid and once it dies it can't be replaced and the battery can't be changed, but it doesn't interfere with the functioning of the pitcher.
Anyway, I think it's more economical to buy one of these pitchers--even though the filters are expensive--because you'll save money in the long run when you don't have to keep buying bottled water from the store, not to mention carrying those heavy bottles.
