I like your video. I'm in school and your method is legit. Thanks for posting. Sounds like Brit filters last much longer than the 2 months recommended ;)
The black you see in the water is part of the carbon filter that is excess that's why you should clear it out first to get rid of the filter deposits that are not needed.
Surely it works the principle is simple and tested. However most tap water is very clean already (its been filtered at the water plant) so it doesn't do a thing, or at least next to nothing.
I did throw them away, but I didn't show it on camera. I never thought about that before. I hope other people realize I re-filled those last two cups. Nice catch.
I used to drink Brita water for years and it's really not worth it because it really doesn't filter it. I have a "reverse osmosis" filter which is pricey but pays out in the end (you barely have to change the filter) and the water tastes soooo much better compared to Brita. (It basically has no taste whereas brita still has that tap water taste). Check out my Reverse Osmosis video if you're interested :)
I just bought a brita filter when you get a new filter you're supposed to dump out the first two fill ups with the new filter because it says shit might fall out haha
Of course the guy on the left got it right! He is a man of good tastes, he likes Merciful Fate \m/ But seriously, I came up to this video researching for Brita filters and if they are any good, and I was convinced by it! Thanks and Cheers from Portugal
Black sand type stuff is carbon. As well as soaking the filter, you were probably supposed to throw away the first two lots of water filtered. I guess you'd have to force yourself to read the REST of the instructions to know that! ;)
would you say the new filter replacement would cause a wierd taste for the first 10 cups due to the filtration chemicals? Why did it turn the water black on your first cup?
@phillycheeseman interesting you should say that because I just actually watched a documentary about how it was designed by a chimp named mr. chim chim
I'm finding out Britta aren't that great. You need to test the tds (total dissolved solids) with a tds measurement. Zero water has one for their water to measure the tds. As far as I've been seeing, distilled and Zero water has came closer to to 0 tds than ro, purified and spring etc. You need to check your tap water for tds also before filtering it. You can look it up what tds is. It's basically chemicals and sediments you don't want in your water. Taste tests is not accurate for drinking the best water, and you won't know what's in it. Just because it taste better doesn't mean it's better for you. Sorry, found out Zero water doesn't take out organic contaminants. so we're back to distillation is the most cleanest water minus the minerals which you get in your foods and other drinks. RO is close to distillation but they both have prob with certain chemicals getting rid of.
Skip the Brita, get a Multipure. Brita's only reduce 6 contaminants and are not NSF certified. And, they don't reduce basic Lead... Whereas, Multipure which has been in business since 1970, and created the Carbon block... has an 83 contaminant reduction capacity and each contaminant is NSF certified. You can check it out at: www.multipureusa.com/tfortina and look up the Aquaversa or Aquaperform.
Hope your presentation skills have improved! ;-0 Seriously, thanks for the effort though. Appreciate it. However, it would have been helpful if you have TESTED the water with a TDS tester. That would have saved this lame video.
