How Often Should I Change My Brita® Filter?
For optimum performance of your Brita® product, it's important to change your Brita® filter on a regular basis. Keep the fresh, great-tasting filtered water flowing by replacing your filter every 40 gallons or approximately every two months. Users with hard water should increase filter changes.
How Do I Prepare And Change The Filter In My Brita® Pitcher?
Our advanced Pitcher Filters no longer require pre-soak.
- Flush filter with cold water for 15 seconds.
- Insert filter into reservoir by lining up groove in filter with notch in reservoir (you’ll notice that one is longer than the other. Press firmly to ensure a tight seal.
- Add cold tap water. Discard your first 3 pitchers of filter water, or use this water for plants. It is normal for carbon dust to appear in your first fillings.
- Replace filter every 40 gallons or two months.

Great water. Pitcher has room for improvement
There is no doubt about it that Brita water tastes better! I drink more water utilizing the Brita filter system. It is convenient and easy to use. The pitcher is slim and fits easily into the fridge. However, this pitcher model could use some improvements. The lid does not stay on very well - it does not click into place or secure to the base. While you should never pour the pitcher while it is filtering water to avoid spills, even once all of the water has drained through, the lid can easily come off. I have taped mine on each side to prevent this issue. So yes, get a Brita pitcher, but I recommend looking at other models.

Don't Buy This Pitcher!!
I have the same problems as everyone else:
1. After filling the pitcher, the water spills out of the sides. Airtight top anyone? Brita engineer? Product Development? Bueller?
2. The top does not snap on, it sits ever so daintily on top of the pitcher, ready to fall off like Miss Muffett right when you're ready to pour for guests! ARGH!
3. After filing the pitcher, struggling to keep water from spilling out and the top from falling off, you will- without fail- get a dripping trail of water all over the inside of your fridge from this sorry excuse for a carafe.
Get thee to a better pitcher, ASAP!

poorly designed--go with a larger dispenser
we bought this after our ultramax style in-fridge dispenser broke after many years of use. don't make our mistake! this one is very poorly designed. the flip-stopper for the pouring spout actually keeps the water from flowing well/regularly into a cup or sports bottle. the worst part is the top, which falls off if you look at it wrong, and especially when you are pouring water at more than a 15' angle. when this happens and you still have some water in your upper dispenser, you get a big spill. we've had to tape the top on. we're actually drinking LESS water now because this thing is such a pain...time to go back to the dispenser unit.

Major design flaws
(Zero stars for this model.) As many other users have said- the design of the lid on this model is totally non-functional. Lid falls off with the slightest touch, spout lid either hinders pouring completely, so that water spills out of the spout sides, or breaks off into your glass. Requires two hands (minimum) to use this pitcher, which is ridiculous for such a small model.
However, customer Brita customer service responded to my complaint email promptly and replaced this with an Atlantis model. (5 stars for customer service!)
Save yourself the hassle and just get the Atlantis to begin with.

Very Disappointing
I used to have a brita pitcher that was 6 cup and slim and had a blue top, I bought it about 7 years ago and worked fine. I got this new one featured here, and the water tastes good, but the pitcher sad to say, is really poorly made and cheap. The lid regularly falls off if you don't hold it on when pouring, it leaks, somehow the handle leaks and the colored "snap" in panel keeps falling out. Sometimes the filter falls out when pouring as the whole chamber pitches forward. I would never purchase this again. And I was reading a rating of filters and Brita scored fairly low, it does not remove enough metals and flouride.

Horrible design
I never write reviews, but this pitcher is so poorly designed I had to help prevent others from making the same mistake I did. I thought the covered spout would be great; instead every time I pour, water runs down the front of the pitcher and gets everywhere. Also there's a little opening in the back of the top, and when you fill it, if you're not careful water sloshes out of the opening and runs down the handle and all over the floor. I wish I could return it but I threw away the box. If you want a slim design pitcher, get the one with the uncovered spout.

Returned pitcher to store
I bought this pitcher at Kmart because there was an advertisement for a smaller one at a great price in Kmart's circular. Decided to go with this one because I needed a bigger size than what was advertised to replace my existing Brita pitcher which I've been using for about 15 years. As soon as I got home and took it out of the box, I did not like how the lid fit on the pitcher. It kept on falling off, and I hadn't even cleaned or used it yet. I then put it into my refrigerator, and it didn't fit. It was too tall and really not much of a space saver. I brought it back to Kmart and exchanged it for the Bella model (which is a few more dollars at retail), and I am so much happier with it.

cheaply made and disfunctional
I have had this pitcher for about four months now and am so frustrated it. I don't even know where to start. When you fill it with water, some of the water drains into the handle so that it slowly leaks all over the place; the lid doesn't latch on well enough so that when you go to pour, it falls right off; as a result of this the little spout hinge broke so that there is no longer a cover on the spout; the status reset button on the top broke after pushing it about four times so that now it doesn't work and just flashes colors whenever you pour. The taste of the water has been excellent, but it is a shame to find a flagship product so flawed from a company that has been around for as long as it has. I am very disappointed.
