Brita Classic Pitcher OB01 / 35507 Benefits:

• Package includes pitcher, one filter, and one 16 oz "Filter For Good" water bottle

What is FilterForGood all about?

Each year, Americans dump nearly 38 Billion water bottles into landfills... a staggering number when you think about it.

If that doesn't make you cringe, consider that it takes 1.5 million barrels of oil to make all those bottles - that's right, all that plastic is basically just reformulated crude! Turning that oil into billions of throw-away bottles takes an incredible amount of energy, and pumps millions of tons of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.

Brita and Nalgene have teamed up to create the FilterForGood Pledge - a simple commitment to reduce your personal waste by giving up bottled water.

And you don't need to stop drinking water to do your part... just start drinking filtered water in a reusable bottle! It's an easy change that can make a big difference.

But isn't bottled water better than filtered water?

Most people assume that bottled water is some sort of ultra-purified, mineral-rich water from a glacial spring deep within the earth. The truth is that most brands of bottled water are nothing more than pre-packaged tap water - that's right, just like the water you get at home for free! So, even the fanciest bottle of water isn't any tastier (or healthier) than what you get straight out of the tap.

Filtered water, on the other hand, actually tastes better because most filters remove the chlorine, sediment, and rust typically found in tap water. In addition, many household water filters make water healthier by removing pesticides, lead, and nasty chemicals like MTBE.

Do your part and SAVE MONEY at the same time

Considering the cost of a reusable bottle, a water filtering pitcher, and replacement filters, you can drink filtered water for about 18¢ a day. The same amount of bottled water would cost nearly 5 times as much!

To get you started, Brita is including a FREE 16 oz bottle with the Classic pitcher. The bottle is great for your drive to work, or even your kids lunchbox.

Brita Pitcher Filter (Model #OB03) Filter Life:

The Brita Pitcher / Dispenser Replacement Filter #OB03 will filter up to 40 gallons of water, and should last about 2 months (for the average family).

Brita Pitcher Filter Installation:

1. Remove your used filter and discard
2. Open the new filter package and soak the new filter upright in cold tap water for 15 minutes
3. While the filter is soaking, hand-wash the pitcher, lid, and reservoir with a mild detergent, and rinse well
4. After the filter is done soaking, rinse it under cold running tap water for a few seconds
5. To insert the filter into your pitcher or dispenser, line up the groove in the filter with the notch in your reservoir, and press firmly to seal
6. Fill the reservoir with cold water
7. Discard the first two pitchers of filtered water - or use it to water your plants

Notes:

• Remember to wash your hands with soap & water before handling a new filter.
• It's normal for a new filter to be wet when you first open the package because all Brita filters are washed during the manufacturing process to prevent them from drying out.
• Abrasive cleaners can scratch your clear plastic pitcher, so try to avoid them.
• You may find carbon dust in the first few pitchers of filtered water. This is normal, and harmless.
