Though it is hard to believe, the very water that we drink today could well have been a drink for a prehistoric dinosaur. Since it is impossible to make more, the water we have today is the same that existed since the beginning of time. Water that has evaporated falls back to the earth in the form of precipitation, trickles through the soil which filters out large solids, and then makes its way into streams, lakes and rivers where it is then removed, cleaned and delivered to homes. Municipalities add chlorine to their water to kill bacteria. It is checked for lead and other serious contaminants and only when it safe is it served as drinking water. Yet, does anyone really want to drink a glass of chlorine water? Most people who research what is actually in their tap water decide to use water filters to make it cleaner and safer. Brita water filters are a carbon filter that make sure the water you drink tastes its best.
Carbon water filters such as Pur and Brita will both remove the chlorine that was added to kill bacteria. Chlorine was added to kill bacteria, not to improve the water's taste, and once it has successfully performed its job and the bacteria is gone, it only makes sense to remove the chlorine. Carbon filters and reverse osmosis systems successfully remove chlorine and improve water's taste. Brita water filters are used in specially designed pitcher that is filled with water and placed in the refrigerator. It conveniently ensures that your clean water is cold and available when needed. The filters need to be changed periodically but work remarkably well when this is done.

Often, Brita water filters are used in conjunction with whole house filtration systems and, only when necessary, iron water filters. Whole house filtration systems are excellent for both city and well water. They remove the hardness in water, which is comprised mainly of calcium and magnesium, and exchange these minerals with sodium ions. This process is called ion exchange. The softened water is not considered purified but is much gentler on the skin and will prolong the life of appliance and household plumbing fixtures.
