What's the best brand of faucet water filter? Or, which would you recommend?

Had a pur one. Im sure brita is the same. It's a good ideato get one. Pitchers are ok too if you want to keep it refrigerated.

Filters last about a month. They have three colors to let you know roughly when to change.

I've gone through 3 britta and 1 pur in the last year.
They're all pretty shit. The pur filter actually cracked on me and soaked my kitchen. The britta just have a habbit of snapping at the faucet attachment.

Damn dude, that's a lot. Go for a pitcher this time.

I got a pur 7 cup pitcher today.
Came with a dead battery (not that it really effects it any).
Can't seem to win with these things.

Ha ha. Same. I just chuck the filter when it starts tasting like tap water.

one thing, are you supposed to keep the pitcher full? i heard talk that the hole you see on the inside of the filter holder lets water in and helps the filter stay wet. not sure if it matters. i never keep mine filled that high overnight.

Since this is day 1 using it I can't say for certain. But after having poured a few glasses I think I'm going to refill it every time I pour a glass. Reason being is that it's a gravity filter and takes a while to pass through. So it just saves me the hassle of spending like 10 minutes refilling it from empty by pouring in new water and waiting for it to filter completely.
Pour myself a glass, pour a glass back into the pitcher. Always stays full and ready.

I recommend filling BPA free carboys at the water filling stations at a reputable store's machine that uses a 5 or 7 stage water filtration system.
For me it's ~$3.00 for 5 gallons of water.
I'm not educated on the tap filters, but I'd imagine they're like the brita pitcher filters which just use carbon to filter out odors and a few contaminates. Which is better than nothing, but $3.00 for 5 gallons of water seems like an easy choice. For me.
