There’s no getting around the fact that your tap water probably contains contaminants. But several experts we spoke to recommend this Brita water pitcher — which is 35 percent off today — for its filtering power, durability, and ease of use.
Although Dr. Marisa Garshick owns a slightly different model, the pitcher, shown below, uses the same filter that removes 99 percent of lead and is certified to reduce chlorine, asbestos, mercury, benzene, cadmium, and more. It’s also even lighter and more compact than Garshick’s pick, which she says is already lightweight and doesn’t take up much room in her fridge. Meanwhile, baker Michelle Keldgord points out that the filter makes your water taste better and can be replaced in a matter of seconds. Both Keldgord and Garshick appreciate that Britas are affordable too — and even more so right now.
