Brita Pacifica Water Filtration Pitcher with 1 Filter, 10-Cup, BPA Free, Blue

I just got my picture last night followed the instructions for filling and discarding first three pictures and filled it back up for use today. The water does taste great but the lid leaks out from around the pour spout when trying to pour the water.

I have used Brita products before and they have been great so far. I thought of upgrading the pitcher we have had for a year now. Purchased this product and regret the decision of purchase! Here are a the problems: 1. Put in a new filter and the indicator to let us know on the health of the filter does not work at all. Followed the instructions of holding the button for 5 seconds a ton of times and no use. 2. The filter is just a week old and I already see the black particles in the filtered water. 3. The oval water holders keeps falling off when I try to pour water out of pitcher. I would have not mentioned this if it had not happened frequently (almost once every 5 uses!) If this product would have been on a returnable period would have definitely returned it! Not what is expected out of Brita!

it would be great if the feature worked to let us know when to change the filter. every time we fill it or shake it a bit more the light turns red. i have to keep track myself on when to change the filter but would have been nice if the feature actually worked.

This was the 3rd pitcher we have used over the years. We got this one 2 weeks ago and there is a problem. The lid frequently falls off if you do not hold it down when pouring. When the lid falls off, the colored part that holds the filter then falls down into the pitcher, It also falls down when there is water in the color part and you try to pour. Very frustrating. It seems like the parts should snap together or something so parts don't get so discombobulated.

For us, this was too small a pitcher. We find ourselves refilling it about 5x a day with making pasta, tea, etc. The main problem is the design. The basin where the water sits before going through the actual filter often slips out of line and often out of the pitcher completely if you don't have the top on, and the 'flap' in the top kept falling off completely for us. Great filters but bad design for this pitcher.
