 All Brita Pitchers are universally compatible with Brita Pitcher Replacement Filters. | Filtration System Reduces Harmful Contaminants With the Aqualux Water Pitcher, you and your family can enjoy clean, better-tasting water straight from the tap. The pitcher's included Ion Exchange Resin filter acts as a magnet for impurities that are often found in tap water, such as lead, copper, mercury, cadmium, and zinc. The filter removes these impurities, reducing their potentially harmful effects. The filtering process also reduces that taste and odor of chlorine, thanks to a special sponge-like filtration system. The end result is clean, better tasting water that is healthier for everyone. This is especially good news for children and pregnant or nursing women who are more susceptible to potential harm from lead and other impurities. Filters should be changed every 40 gallons or two months and are not intended for use with microbiologically unsafe water. All Brita Pitchers are universally compatible with Brita Pitcher Replacement Filters. Filter Change Indicator Ensures Healthier, Great-Tasting Water Changing your filter regularly ensures that you will always have clear, healthful, great-tasting water. The Electronic Filter Change Indicator makes it easy to know when it is time to replace your filter. Every two weeks an indicator bar will disappear from your pitcher's electronic display. After two months, when all the bars have disappeared, an arrow will flash at the top of the display reminding you to change your filter. Reset your filter change indicator each time you replace your filter to make sure your water is always healthier and great tasting. Smart Design Features Make Water Filtration Easy The Aqualux Water Pitcher is built smart to make water filtration easy. The pitcher cover has a flip top so that you do not need to remove the entire lid to refill the pitcher. A contoured, soft-grip handle makes the pitcher comfortable and easy to lift and pour. Stylish and slim, the Aqualux is designed to fit into your refrigerator door so you'll always have plenty of cold, filtered water on hand. Despite its compact size, the pitcher holds up to 48 ounces of water, enough for six eight-ounce glasses, making the Aqualux a practical choice for your family. Improves Your Health and Invigorates Your Senses Water is a vital resource in energizing your mind and body, and using a Brita Pitcher ensures that the water you're drinking is in top quality. It helps your body regulate its temperature, keeps skin clear and glowing, and aids in the transport of nutrients to the brain and other organs. It also acts as a powerful aid in digestion, metabolism, and detoxification. Brita recognizes the importance of water to human well being and takes special care to optimize the healthfulness of your drinking water, so you can keep fit and energized. A Simple Way to Support the Environment It's estimated that one Brita pitcher filter can substitute for the use of 300 water bottles, many of which end up in landfills. By using Brita filters, which are now recyclable through a Brita and Preserve filter recycling program, you lower your impact on the environment while benefiting your own health and possibly your wallet, too. Plus, your support of the Brita Products Company goes toward help environmental efforts like the Brita Climate Ride, a five-day bike ride whose participants raise money for climate change awareness. About the Brita Products Company The Brita Products Company is a leader in the production of freestanding water-filtration systems designed to improve the quality of drinking water by reducing its impurities. Heinz Hankammer, the company's creator, realized the need for enhancing the healthfulness and taste of potable water in 1966. He and his family first accomplished this goal under a pear tree in the family garden and have been working to carry out their mission ever since. The company is named after Heinz Hankhammer's daughter, Brita. As a corporation, Brita is committed to community and environmental outreach through projects like FilterForGood, a campaign dedicated to the reduction of bottled water waste. What's in the Box One pitcher and one filter.

looks good but defective February 28, 2010 A. Papalamprou (CA USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Brita has a good reputation and the pitcher looks great. But after you start using it for a while you see those blue carbon particles escaping the filter and entering your glass of water. I tried different things but it seems the defect is in how the pitcher is designed, because I had a less well know pitcher in the past and this never happened.
I contacted customer service and the very polite lady explained to me that it is OK if a few of them come out, because they are made from "coconut tree" or something. Still, these are supposed to be the carbon particles that filter the water, ie suck all the things we do not want to drink, so I consider this explanation poor and I am sorry to say I had to throw away the pitcher and buy another brand..Brita 42558 Aqualux Water Pitcher
Piece of Junk February 14, 2010 S. Meyer (FWB, Florida) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This Brita filter is poorly built. The top constantly falls off when I try to poor the water. It doesn't snap in properly. Also, the little flap at the spout gets stuck sometimes and water spills everywhere. I bought a PUR filter now and am more happy with it.
Brita 42558 Aqualux Pitcher February 8, 2010 Brenda Reese Recieved in a timely manner. I am very satisfied with the product. One thing I would liked to have known in advance is how much water the pitcher holds after filtering. I couldn't find that information anywhere.
Handy Pitcher February 1, 2010 Catherine Le Roux (Concord, NC USA) I did my homework before ordering this pitcher. There are so many to choose from. This one meets our household needs. It is well designed, slim yet contains enough water, the lid is securely in place and the grip handle is a plus. I particularly like the filter change indicator on top. It makes it so easy to remind us when to replace the filter. And... very important to me, the water tastes great !
