Commercial Cool Water Filter Replacements, Replacement Water Filters for Standard Brita Pitcher, Lasts Up To 60 Gallons, NSF Certified, CCWFB6, White, 6-Pack

These replacement filters fit my standard Brita pitcher without any issues and installed easily. They filter the water just as expected, improving taste and clarity, and I didn’t notice any leaks or fit problems. They’re a good alternative to the name-brand filters, especially if you go through them regularly and want to save a bit of money. So far they’ve performed exactly as they should, and I’d purchase them again based on value and compatibility alone.

These are filled with a granulated form of charcoal. When first put into the water pitcher, run a pint of water through it. The water will be gray from the dusty charcoal that DOES rinse out. It is not a bad thing, and the charcoal won't hurt to drink it, but dump it out, and repeat the pint of water in, then dump it process 2-3 times, until the filter is fully wetted inside, and all the loose fines have been rinsed out. Easy peazy, and you're good to go. And the taste of the water that has been run through these filters is superb. Of course, it does depend somewhat on what quality of water you put in, because charcoal water filters are not magic. They filter out a decent amount of impurities. My water starts out good, but after running through the filter, and chilled in the refrigerator, it tastes as good as any bottled water I have ever tasted. And at such a low cost per gallon! What's not to like! I like these! They fit right and function JUST FINE! I am surprised that people are sometimes alarmed when the first few cups of water through a new filter shows some charcoal powder in the filtered water. NO BIG DEAL! This is perfectly normal. I have read of people eating charcoal (in capsules) to soak up toxins they have ingested. Again, with a new filter, put a few pints of water through it, and dump it a few times until it is clear, and the rest is as it should be, just what you wanted. Best of refreshing hydration to you!

Working like a charm!

Cheaper than buying in store worked well, did it's job

Excellent filter and now is the only one I use It really seems to purify the water

these arrived and 1 has been installed in my Vita picture. was a tight fit and installed water dont leak by it. it has been filtering water just fine? it works as advertised

These are great! After reading other comments after soaking and rinsing the filter, I also let it filter twice then dumped the water. I have hard water and originally got these to use for my dogs water because I have the 5 gallon water cooler. I also use these for myself and keep a pitch in the fridge. They filter pretty quickly and the water tastes good. Water is the one of the only things I drink and I hate tapp water. Highly recommend these!

It does what says it does.

good

Just as good as the name brand will buy again

My family takes water safety seriously. Like another reviewer mentioned this product is substandard. It tests at worse than our local tap water (215 vs. 165 ppm). The product description states 'WQA against NSF/ASNI Standard' so I checked out the WQA website which states that the Commercial Cool CCWFB is 'certified for materials safety only'. So the actual water filtration performance isn't tested? Seriously? Not only that but the product page here neglects to mention it is imported from China. Not exactly the go-to source for quality or assurance. It is quite unfortunate the millions of poor quality and potentially dangerous products are sold on Amazon with no regard for the safety of the public. The 'Sold by: Amazon.com.ca, Inc.' is starting to mean nothing for me now and I will have to use a lot more discretion when ordering online now. The word Brita should not be allowed to be used in the LENGTHY title as late night buying has probably has lead to more than a few shoppers not realizing that this is NOT a Brita product. This is a product by Commercial Cool and they are not resellers or affiliated with Brita in anyway. For those looking for a quality water filtration system, my partner and I have used ZeroWater and like it.

Soaked & let water run through these filters for multiple hours and the "filtered" water still has very noticeable chemical taste to it. Not only is it worse tasting than tap water, it is simple inedible - I wouldn't even give it to plants. Don't waste your money on these knock-offs, they DO NOT work.
