[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 426047, member: 1233"] You can usually find the pitchers at goodwill and thrift stores. I haven't NOT seen one on a trip to a thrift store in years. Most brands filter about the same. We have used several different kinds over the years - brita, pur, and a couple of other brands. Go for the cheapest one. My husband used to do EPA research on water quality and he says any of the pitchers are good - all are about the same. The problem with the ones that hook on your faucet is that once it is full, has filtered it quota of water, it will start sending water through that not only isn't filtered but is carrying out stuff that was filtered out of the water. So the water is dirtier than the straight tap water. So just be sure to change the filters as often as recommended. MOST bottled waters are just tap water from another area. No matter what they say, this is the dirty truth about bottled water. You can also try the machines at the grocery that you put a gallon jug in. They are about 40 cents a gallon and do a very good job of cleaning the water. [/QUOTE]
