 Life’s a scam. I just realized Brita doesn’t actually filter your water. 

I have been drinking Miami tap water for the past 8 years. 🤮 
 They do filter, what makes you say that? 
 Brita filters improve taste by removing stuff like chlorine, lead & copper, but they can't filter out bacteria, viruses, minerals (like calcium & magnesium), fluoride, some chemicals (like PFOA/PFOS), or drug residues. Depending on what you want to filter there are other alternatives. 
 Filter it yourself : 

I use this triple osmosis filtration  system

 Yeah definitely a scam. We have a Zazen water filter, pricey but worth it.
