I've decided to PearlCo water filter to buy, because the display of my Brita water filter is defective and the small lid has been broken on the spout. In my opinion, the PearlCo is just as good as the filter cartridges to purchased - only, it is a lot cheaper. I also like that I do not need to completely remove the cover Fill the water, but only by means of a sliding mechanism intake can open the lid. In sliding mechanism integrated can be set manually when the filter has been used. I find better than the electronic display at Brita that once the battery is empty, goes down. I would not hesitate to recommend!
