The world's best selling filters are "purification pitchers" that are in use in almost every household in the world.

"The little magician" gives clear water without limescale, thus giving a feeling that the water is the purest in the world, because it contains no limescale …. but regretfully this is not the case!

Purification pitchers give a solution to limescale, but sometimes the price is a heavy one.

The active agent is resin, which is an ion exchanger. The water received is soft, with a tendency for acidity and causticity, which leads to corrosion of the nickel coating of heating elements when boiling kettles, i.e. the coating becomes diluted in the resulting beverages.

Moreover, the phenomenon of standing unchlorinated water leads to high proliferation of bacteria.

It is worth mentioning that this water is intended for boiling and is not advisable for making food and/or drinks for infants.

It is worth reading the small text:

1)… "Consult a physician before use"…  

2) Brita filtration does not aim to replace wholesome tap water or bottled waters as drinking waters. Neither is it a special after treatment of tap water for specific use in the preparation of baby food.

3) After only two days without use, discard the water in the pitcher.

Conclusion: Pitchers are very tempting for the initial purchase, but the annual maintenance cost is very high and the water obtained is not always good.
