Waterdrop Water Pitcher Filter

This water filter seems to be cleaning the water very well. I can’t smell chlorine. it’s easy to assemble. And each to fill. I don’t have to remove the complete top. It has a little are with a flexible top that allows me to pour in the water. I fill it once a day. I use it for coffee, cooking and fry. I don’t trust the water coming out of the faucet. I love the light blur color. And.. I think this cleans water of impurities better than the Brita system I had used previously. I don’t know how long the filter will last but I set the button that lets me know when it’s time to change the filter. Fresh and clean water is a net. I totally recommend this water purifier.

I've had this pitcher for almost week and like it very much. I replaced a Brita after finding they only have a 2 stage filter, there was still a bit of aftertaste, a slight scum on the glass, and still a bit of funny taste with my tea. The Water Drop tastes much more pure, my tea is clear, and I like that it has a 4 stage filter, including lead and PFOS. Who isn't aware of the issues with lead in tap water nowadays yet Brita doesn't filter for it? Buying bottled water gets expensive and now that they've found that to be filled with nanoplastics it's not worth it. If the filter lasts a couple of months then cost is better than bottled water.

Wanted to love this product. Received this item for my birthday and was great for the first week and after that is when things changed. Water started smelling fishy. First I thought it was my tap water. Did a side by side smell test in different environments and it came back to the filter. I also thought for a seconed the container was dirty and cleaned the plastic. Added cool water again to the filter. And emptied it out and then again to get fresh water and the same thing. Maybe I got a defective filter! Definitely not happy about this

I don't really understand the light on top of the pitcher, even after reading the directions. So it really is superfluous and of no use to me. You are supposed to hold it in for 3 seconds when changing the filter and somehow it alerts when the filter is supposed to be changed. The basket that holds the filter must be inserted in the pitcher at all times for the lid to be seated properly. If the lid is designed to allow you to pour filtered water while the pitcher is still filtering, it fails miserably. Water will leak out the top and the spout and mix with the filtered water. There is a clear, plastic flap in the shape of the circle on the lid. It is supposed to allow you to pour water from the faucet into the pitcher to be filtered without taking off the lid, but it doesn't function as intended. It doesn't actually stay closed on any of the 4 waterdrop pitchers I own and water leaks out from there when pouring water. It is hard to explain in detail, but the lid is a big FAIL. This pitcher only shines because the filters are so great and the water is measuring 0 on TDS meter and 0 in Electric Conductivity, is more alkaline after filtering in my repeated measurements. I like the filters, the filtering, the clean water that comes out. I despise this horrible pitcher lid. They need to go back to the drawing board on this one.

The top line: we are very happy with the water taste as well as the pitcher design and function. Definitely in upgrade over our Pur pitcher/filter. Highly recommend! More detail: we wanted something with better taste results than our Pur pitcher/filter. I did a bunch of research, both here and on other web sites. The choices seem to come down to a charcoal filter that gets rid of SOME of the water impurities, or a much more sophisticated filter that gets rid of TDS - Total Dissolved Solids. The former is cheaper (device and filters), the latter is more expensive (device and filters). So first ask yourself if it’s important to get rid of TDS in your water. If you do, then this product doesn’t do that - you need to purchase one that DOES eliminate TDS. For us, that was too pricey - we mostly wanted good tasting water. From there we saw that this filter did more than the typical charcoal filter, a much more thorough filtering method than our old Pur. But in addition to being happy with the water taste, we love the pitcher functionality. With our old Pur pitcher we could not pour a drink while water was still in the chamber while draining into the filter. That was frustrating. With THIS pitcher there’s a nice tight sealing lid that seals the top water chamber, so that even when that chamber is full you can pour a glass of water without spillover from the chamber. An unexpected delight! The replacement filters are a little pricey but we feel it’s worth it for the quality of water we are getting. The flow rate on the filtering process is just fine. All in all, super happy with the purchase.
