what is a good water filter pitcher For Easy Water Filtration system A water filter pitcher is possibly the most popular type and least costly option for smaller amounts of filtered water. Literally, all you do is pour water through the filtration system and out comes clean, great tasting water into the pitcher or dispenser. PUR makes three models of filtering pitchers. Each one uses a two-stage filtration system that removes chlorine, pharmaceuticals, agricultural pollutants, heavy metals, industrial contaminants, sediment, and cysts. PUR's 2 Stage DS-1800 is a dispenser type container that fits easily in your refrigerator, filters 18 cups when filled, and costs about $34.99. The CR-6000C produces 7 cups per filling, has an LED indicator light to notify you it’s time to change your filter and goes for $23.79. The CR-5000 Flavor Pitcher makes 7 cups at a time and adds your choice of one of five flavorings just by pushing a button, and retails for $29.98.
