Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brita 42412 Atlantis Water Pitcher
Customer Review: Handy for the office or dorm
Summary: 4 Stars
I've owned several Brita models over the years, including the round pitcher and the other slim unit. This design is great for people with limited fridge space, and perfect for the office or dorm if all you need is improved water taste.
Be aware that Brita's stated filtration capacity is limited to chlorine and lead. If you are worried about other bad stuff in your water, you'll need to go with a more robust system, like one of the under-the-sink Smartwater inline filters made by GE. I have one installed in my home. More advanced systems reduce mercury, asbestos, cysts, and many other contaminants. Some cities have some truly terrifying chemicals in their water, including estrogen, microscopic parasites (giardia for example), and fertilizers. This Brita will do nothing for that, but most Americans live in places with safe drinking water.
That having been said, this is what I use at the office because the tap water here tastes bad, especially if I let it warm up to room temperature. After filtration with this Brita, the taste is not noticeable. The only problem I've had with this product is the design of the flip up lid. It's very easy to break off.
For the sake of the environment and your budget, please don't buy bottled water, which is often from municipal water sources anyway and just filtered, depending on the brand (like Aquafina, Glaceau Smart Water, and Starbucks' Ethos). You can buy a good filter and treat your own water for much less. Americans throw out billions of water bottles every year and most of them end up in landfills.
Description of Brita 42412 Atlantis Water Pitcher
This pitcher combines Brita's reliable filtering with a very convenient narrow shape and flip-top lid for easy refills. To operate, simply flip the lid and fill the water reservoir, then wait a couple of minutes for it to filter through. The filter used with this system has been certified by NSF International, a testing authority for water filtration products, and reduces copper and eliminates 99% of lead in tap water. Using activated carbon as well as an ion exchange resin, it also reduces chlorine, bad tastes, odors, and sediment--making it a lot easier to drinkthe recommended eight glasses of water a day. It comes with one filter, lasting approximately two months, and the pitcher is clear with a white top. --Maria DolanPitcher Water Filters
