Filtrete Water Pitcher Review

When I found out I was going to be reviewing the Filtrete Water Pitcher from 3M, the first thing that popped into my mind was doing a taste test with the kids.  This particular water pitcher claims to "reduce sediment and chlorine taste and odor", and I was curious to see if my kids could taste the difference.

Tonight, I set up the test.  I filled one cup with water out of the tap and another with a cup of tap water filtered through the pitcher.  Junior was home, so I had him do the taste test, too.

The results:  Junior was the only one to prefer the filtered water.  The kids couldn't tell a difference, but they're kids, so what do they know?  I can certainly tell a difference.  The filtered water tastes fresher, if that makes any sense to you.

I love the style of the pitcher itself.  It is easy and fast to fill, and there is a sticker on the top that tells you when it is time to change the filter, which is supposed to last for three months.  I love that I (you) can sign up on the Filtrete Water Filtration Products website to get a reminder when it's time to change the filter.  And like everything else these days, Filtrete can be found on both Twitter and Facebook. 

I am sure that my family and I will continue to enjoy using this water pitcher.
