Ditch the environmentally toxic plastic water bottles and say hello to this space saving 5-cup Brita Water Pitcher. The pitcher's slim, clear design easily fits in narrow places and crowded refrigerators, while the flip top lid allows for easy refilling. Each of the 4 included Brita filters features a patented aeration design to ensure a consistent flow of clean, clear water; activated carbon reduces chlorine (taste and odor), a mercury ion-exchange resin captures copper, cadmium and zinc in your water, and a built-in mesh screens prevent black flecks in your water.
