If you own a Brita water pitcher or dispenser (except the Stream model), these Brita Plus replacement filters are essential for keeping your water tasting fresh and clean. This 6-pack gives you a full year's supply since each filter lasts about two months or 40 gallons. What's impressive about the Plus filters is they trap twice as many contaminants as the standard Brita filters - they reduce chlorine (that awful taste and odor), copper, cadmium, and other impurities using activated carbon and ion exchange resin. The built-in mesh screens prevent those annoying black flecks that sometimes come with cheaper filters. What I love is how much waste you avoid - just one of these filters can replace up to 300 plastic water bottles, so over the six filters, you're keeping about 1,800 bottles out of landfills. The installation is stupidly simple - just soak the new filter for 15 minutes, pop it in your Brita pitcher, and you're good to go. The water tastes noticeably better almost immediately, without that chemical aftertaste tap water sometimes has. Brita is the number one brand in water filtration for a reason - their products actually work and are reliable. If you've been buying bottled water for taste reasons, switching to a Brita system with these filters will save you money and reduce your plastic waste significantly. The quality is consistent filter to filter, and they genuinely make tap water taste like expensive bottled water.
