Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brita 42558 Aqualux Water Pitcher

Customer Review: Returning for Refund
Summary: 2 Stars

After making some initial mess on my kitchen floor, I figured out how to get around the lid issue by simply holding it down when pouring the water. Okay, that was easy, and I could live with a tiny bitty inconvenience of holding the lid down with each pour. Because the pitcher could get pretty heavy when filled with water, I also learned to be very careful when laying it on my tiled kitchen island in fear the plastic bottom might break. I was willing to live with it. However, I can't afford to continue to drink the filtered water in spite of great taste due to continuous presence of carbon particles. Yes, I read and followed the instructions so I did expect some carbon particles floating around during the initial refills. But after more than a dozen refills? These are hardly detectable by a quick look but they're there. Good thing that my boys were able to see them lot better than me. To think that my family's been drinking all those carbon particles... Guess you could say we're well "filtered."

EDIT:

After returning this item, I decided to give the PUR 7-Cup Pitcher a try. Well, folks, I'm pretty happy with the decision and the choice. Its lid is very tight and I had initial difficulty opening the lid, but I figured out a very simple solution to this by lifting the lid from the handle end with my right hand fingers and pressing it up with my left thumb. Most importantly, I found no carbon particles after a couple run of it. Since several reviewers complained about its slow filtering time, I was expecting that. However, it actually filters slightly faster than the Brita counterpart.

Filtration System Reduces Harmful Contaminants
With the Aqualux Water Pitcher, you and your family can enjoy clean, better-tasting water straight from the tap. The pitcher's included Ion Exchange Resin filter acts as a magnet for impurities that are often found in tap water, such as lead, copper, mercury, cadmium, and zinc. The filter removes these impurities, reducing their potentially harmful effects. The filtering process also reduces that taste and odor of chlorine, thanks to a special sponge-like filtration system.

The end result is clean, better tasting water that is healthier for everyone. This is especially good news for children and pregnant or nursing women who are more susceptible to potential harm from lead and other impurities. Filters should be changed every 40 gallons or two months and are not intended for use with microbiologically unsafe water.

All Brita Pitchers are universally compatible with Brita Pitcher Replacement Filters.

Filter Change Indicator Ensures Healthier, Great-Tasting Water
Changing your filter regularly ensures that you will always have clear, healthful, great-tasting water. The Electronic Filter Change Indicator makes it easy to know when it is time to replace your filter. Every two weeks an indicator bar will disappear from your pitcher's electronic display. After two months, when all the bars have disappeared, an arrow will flash at the top of the display reminding you to change your filter. Reset your filter change indicator each time you replace your filter to make sure your water is always healthier and great tasting.

Smart Design Features Make Water Filtration Easy
The Aqualux Water Pitcher is built smart to make water filtration easy. The pitcher cover has a flip top so that you do not need to remove the entire lid to refill the pitcher. A contoured, soft-grip handle makes the pitcher comfortable and easy to lift and pour.

Stylish and slim, the Aqualux is designed to fit into your refrigerator door so you'll always have plenty of cold, filtered water on hand. Despite its compact size, the pitcher holds up to 48 ounces of water, enough for six eight-ounce glasses, making the Aqualux a practical choice for your family.

Improves Your Health and Invigorates Your Senses
Water is a vital resource in energizing your mind and body, and using a Brita Pitcher ensures that the water you're drinking is in top quality. It helps your body regulate its temperature, keeps skin clear and glowing, and aids in the transport of nutrients to the brain and other organs. It also acts as a powerful aid in digestion, metabolism, and detoxification.

By using Brita filters, which are now recyclable through a Brita and Preserve filter recycling program, you lower your impact on the environment while benefiting your own health and possibly your wallet, too. Plus, your support of the Brita Products Company goes toward help environmental efforts like the Brita Climate Ride, a five-day bike ride whose participants raise money for climate change awareness.
