Basically, we use this water filter to not always having to buy water tanks and tow what it is rather laborious and time-consuming, especially in the long run. In addition, the system filters most contaminants and especially the taste of chlorine from the actually also quite good drinkable tap water is perfectly suited to filter. We use the filtered water also for example, our coffee machines, because the filter also filters so the lime from tap water. This prolongs the life of the machine and saves immensely descale frequent.
The quality of workmanship is Brita-typically outstanding, as was the design, functionality and color. As a very practical, I feel also the "cap in the lid" in order to easily fill the water can.
The problem addressed here many times with the cartridge change indicator I see, but take care not really great about it. This function is timed and is a tempted to use every month a new filter cartridge. However, the system takes no consideration on how much water is filtered with a cartridge at this time. I change the cartridge every time I have the feeling that the water tastes just like the tap water has probably exceeded its service life (like chlorine) and the filter.
Overall, this Brita water filter is a quality product with a very good price-performance ratio plus quite stylish. But there's me 5 star and a buy recommendation.
