Yes, I am mad. Why haven't they fixed obvious design flaw?

>> No.13973425

They also put massive adhesive stickers on the bottom which impedes washing the pitcher, and it came with tape closing the mouthpiece which left adhesive behind when torn off!

AGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Brita is essentially the only pitcher filter on the market. The few competitors they have, are also plastic crap. So you don't even have a real suggestion do you? I bet you drink tapwater.

My point is that water supplies taste like shit because of contaminants caused by petrochemicals production. Then we buy plastics made via petrochemical production to filter that water. This is clown world.

Seriously, why do you bother with those pieces of crap? Just keep 5-10 gallons of clean water around the house.

Brita owns like 90% marketshare in the water pitcher filter industry. There really isn't another option.

There are berkey filters that I see a lot of homesteaders/survivalist types use, not sure how good they are though.
