Always wondered if water filters actually work. Brita is the obvious name everyone knows — and according to Better Report, they do reduce chlorine and some metals, but miss pesticides and lead entirely. Used a different brand back when I lived in DC, but gave it up. Now in rural Kentucky, hard water is the real issue — and most pitcher filters just aren't built for that.
The minerals that contribute to hardness build up quickly in the filters, meaning that they may leak back into the water unless you change the filter even more than recommended. — WaterSmart
