Brita And Resin Water Filters - An Easy Way To Provide Your Family With Pure Water

Can you imagine life without water? Water is the element that sustains life along with air. Due to growing human population and industry pure and clean drinking water is not as easily accessible as it once used to be. Brita is a name in water filtration that almost everyone is familiar with. It is a German company started in 1966 by Heinz Hankammer and it is the world’s market leader in portable household water filtration. 

Brita makes two kinds of filters – one that attaches to the faucet and the other is for a pitcher or tank. The basic working of the filters is the same. They have a double action.  In the first step they use activated carbon or processed charcoal. Carbon is an atom that bonds with a wide variety of other substances easily and hence works for filtration. It can remove organic compounds, chlorine and sediment. Charcoal being porous has a heavily pitted surface and this creates a vast actual surface area for a relatively small amount of substance. In step two the exchange ion resin lowers the concentration of calcium carbonates and accordingly softens the tap water. 

Some of the popular Brita models on the market today are:

Brita 35034 2-Gallon UltraMax Water Filtration Dispenser – It has a 2 gallon capacity. It combines activated carbon with ion exchange resin. The carbon filter reduces metal, chlorine off tastes and unpleasant odors. The filtered water from this unit improves the taste of brewed drinks, juices and foods cooked in water. A filter replacement reminder is included. A great convenience with this model is not having to refill water repeatedly as in a pitcher style water filter. This aquarium like unit fits on the countertop or on a shelf in the refrigerator.  The see through base has a snap on lid and cap for refilling. The filter will last for around 2 months of steady use. 

Brita Water Filtration Pitcher, Classic 6 x 8 oz each – This pitcher provides great tasting water and has been tested and certified under industry standards. Activated carbon and ion exchange resin work together for great tasting water that retains a healthy level of fluoride. It reduces Chlorine taste and odor, mercury, lead, etc. It filters 6 glasses of 8 oz capacity at a time. The filter will need to be replaced after every 40 gallons - about 2 months for an average family. It is environment friendly as you won’t need to buy bottled water and dispose all those bottles. It comes with a 30 day Money-back guarantee. This pitcher has been certified by NSF and Water quality Association.

There are several different pitchers and other filtration products by Brita available in the market. What you need to determine is what works best for you and your family. It is a good idea to research a little on the internet and also visit some local stores to see the actual models.
