Eliminate 99% of the lead and reduce chlorine, mercury, and sediment in drinking water with Brita's Magnum II Filtration Pitcher. Larger than the standard Brita pitcher, it holds up to 80 ounces of clean, filtered water. Just pop the filter cylinder in the white plastic water reservoir, fill with cold tap water, and in just minutes the pitcher's brimming with healthy, great tasting water. Each filter--one comes with the pitcher and you can order others--lasts for 40 gallons of water. As an added feature, a filter replacement indicator relays when it's time for a new one. The sleek, clear plastic pitcher sports an easy-grip handle, while the white plastic lid features two openings: one for filling the pitcher and one for pouring. --Marianne Painter

Okay Pitcher/Very Poor Filter System:
In the beginning the Brita 42378 Deluxe Pitcher system was an outstanding idea and another great way to stop the maddening overflow of plastic bottles in the landfill. Its sleek design and 1.25 gallon capacity made it a winner. Forget about the fact that the never accurate, filter replacement indicator is a gimmick at best. People that have used this product also realize that in the real world, there is no way the filter lasts 2 months. In a 2 member household, 30 days max is a given. At first the... more info
Who designed this thing?:
Like others have said: 1. The spout cover sticks and spills water everywhere when it does. 2. If you fill the entire reservoir it will spill out the back of the pitcher near the handle. 3. The 'indicator' is just a timer. Don't be fooled. 4. The top barely fits on the pitcher. Don't even THINK about pouring a glass of water before its finished filtering the water in the top. All in all this pitcher was a huge disappointment. I owned the previous model for years and was happy with... more info
Brita makes coffee and tea taste SO much better!:
We started using the Brita Water Filter some time back, when our city water would taste like iodine, some mornings--I have NO idea why, but it made the coffee taste, shall we say, less than tempting. Buying water wasn't really an option--small bottles cost too much and leave too many little containers in the recycle bin, and a 5 gallon bottles too heavy for me, so the Brita it is! We have the basic model shown here, but my cousin used the counter top model for years--all you have to do is replace the filter... more info
replaced broked pitcher:
I purchased this pitcher to replace one I had for years that had a broken fill cover. While it looks exactly like my old one, they have changed the design in a couple of ways that I do not care for. When you fill it, it takes longer to go through and when you pour it pours slowly. This might be ok for some but I don't like having to wait so long to fill a small glass for a drink. It just comes out too slow. They restricted the water flow too much.
