Best Water Pitchers

In an effort to reduce plastic wastes and toxins created when making plastic bottles, many people are cutting back on the amount of bottled water that they are drinking.  This is a wonderful way for you and your house to start out on your green mission if you have not yet done so.  One way to still get clean and pure drinking water in your home without having to worry about a whole home filtration system or something really expensive in your home is to get a water pitcher that has a built in filter feature.  I have tried and tested three different pitchers so that you can determine which is the best for you and your family.

Atlantis Water Pitcher Brita 42412 – $22.99

This is a great pitcher for a household of one or two people.  It is a little on the small size it seems, and it also takes quite a while to filter.  It is not too long of a wait for it to filter, but definitely longer than I would like.  We are in the habit of filling it after each use so that it will have time to filter and always be full.  In my house all we drink is water, so we need to keep a lot on hand always.  Overall it is a good pitcher especially considering the price.

Clear₂0 Water Filtration Pitcher  - $23.99

This pitcher is 72 ounces, which is wonderful.  The filter is very quick, as the whole thing fills in only about 35 seconds.  Has a faucet connector that allows for the faster filtering that might not fit all types of sinks even though it is supposed to.  The filter lasts the longest of the three, and it is my pick for the best pitcher to buy.

Oval Water Pitcher 2 Stage PUR CR-6000 – $19.99

This water pitcher is seven cups.  Again, it is not as big as the Clear₂0 so right off the bat I know it isn’t the size I would like.  Overall though it is not a bad buy.  The handle is very comfortable especially in comparison with the Brita.

Of all three, I choose the Clear₂0 as my personal favorite, but any of the three will be a great help in keeping your carbon footprint down.
