I tried the water filter for a while in '03 or '04 after I decided traveling to a special co-op in Atlanta for filtered water from a machine that include radiation, etc. was getting too expensive, ie price & gasoline. The filtered water did not agree with my skin and broke me out terribly, even when I poured it into the Brita pitcher 3 times before drinking.

Fast forward, and the cost of the filtered machines have gone down, and the machines are in more places, ie Publix, Kroger, meaning less gas. This water is delicious and will satisfy. The cost is usually $0.30 - $0.35 per gallon instead of paying much more for bottled water. (I've bought gallons of Publix/Kroger water, then re-used the bottles.)

PS I recommend Glacier machines over others. I don't know why there's a difference, but there clearly is.

I have a question about the Brita pitchers. when you put tap water in the pitcher is fresh water immediate? or does it have to sit a while... btw I love this thread. great information.

It's immediate. It goes through a filter, and what is in the bottom of the pitcher is ready. We love ours!
