Now don’t get me wrong, any filter is better than none at all but the ever popular and top selling Brita water filters have many limitations, even potentially jeopardizing your long term health.
1. Size Is Important
The most common Brita water filters are the kitchen jug or pitcher styles which are quite good at removing chlorine, but due to their small size, many of today's most dangerous contaminants get through like Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOC's) and the new phenomenon of pharmaceuticals in the supply like antibiotics and growth hormones.
Do you really want to drink other people's medications and herbicides? That's what is regularly found in tap water today. Look to get a proper system like a multi-stage process one, with ion exchange that can remove over 99% of all contaminants.
Check Brita's performance data sheet if you can find it, to see exactly what it removes, and you will see it doesn't even come close to removing all the toxins.
2. Expenditure
The upfront cost of a Brita is not too much, around $30, but when you factor in all those filters you end up paying around $200 a year. This is how the company makes its money, as well as making coffee machines and fridges.
Would it not be better to get your home filtration solution from a manufacturer that solely focused on water purification?
The upfront cost is around $120 and 2 filters a year for $95 puts you ahead already after one year, and with vastly safer water.
3. Convenience
I know when I used to have Brita water filters, I used to get fed up with the constant changing and priming of the filters, and the hassle of buying them and trying to find space in the fridge to keep it cold!
When you install a whole house system or a high quality counter top, water comes at the touch of a button, with a filter change required only every six months. I am aware Brita make a faucet version but it does not remove enough of the dangerous particles I talked about previously to be able to recommend it.
Find a company which only makes water purification devices, not like Brita water filters, and uses the US EPA recommended carton block filter with a multi-stage process and ion exchange to truly give you peace of mind and great tasting water as it once was.

Is it worth buying a water filtration device if I live in the city?
I am looking into getting a Brita water filter for my home. I am looking at the kind that attaches to my kitchen faucet. Is there really anything that this can filter out of city water, besides the chlorine? I am just wondering if it will be worth spending the $30. I do not want to spend it, then find out that the water is already being filtered enough before it reaches my house.
Thank-you for your answers, I just want a second opinion before I go out and spend $30 on a water filter thingy.
Thanks again, Tyler
Tyler,
I have lived in Seattle, Nashville and very small towns with populations of less than 2,000 people. Never once have my wife or I felt a need to get a filter for our water.
While I don't know much about filters or the benefits they provide, (If any) understand it is in the best interest of cities and municipalities to provide safe water to citizens. I would assume this means constant testing at the source before they release it to the public.
Stop and ask yourself a few questions. If filters were that important, wouldn't everyone need one, wouldn't more people be sick if there was something wrong with the water they are drinking, and who is making money off of the perception that you need a water filter?
Also, and this goes along the same lines as the question you asked the other day about credit cards; isn't it funny how fear based fads sweep our country?
When and why did everyone start drinking bottled water? What fear based ad campaign sparked that big craze which is now accepted as the norm? And, isn't it interesting that long ago when gas prices started to rise, people started complaining about the price of gas, but not bottled water.
Why is this interesting? Because a while back, a container of bottled water actually cost more than a gallon of gas, yet people were buying water like it was going out of style, and all they had to do was turn on the tap in their kitchen.
Sorry to be so long winded, but I try to use common sense and keep it all in the correct perspective.
