Filtrete Water Pitcher WP02-WH-8, 8 Cup Review

I have been getting back on the program recently, losing some weight, and eating healthy. I bought Dr Fuhrman's Eat for Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) and have made major strides. One thing I remember from a long time ago was the Stillman water diet. In it I learned that if you drank 8 glasses of water per day, whatever else you did you would lose 1 pound per week just doing that. Of course if you are on a binge and gaining weight you wouldn't lose a pound, but you would gain 7 lbs that week instead of 8. You get the idea, drink 8 glasses of water per day and make a one pound difference weekly in your weight. So in a year, that alone would be 52 pounds difference. So I decided the only way I would know if I am getting in my 8 glasses was to have a water pitcher in the fridge, and then along comes this Filtrete Water Pitcher in an 8 cup. Ok so onto the niceties about it.

This thing is slim. So it can fit on a shelf on the door, or it can take up very little space on one of the main shelves. It does filter the water, and it does so very efficiently. That part you see sitting inside of the pitcher is a water fill tub with a filter in it. So you pop the handy rectangular cover off thereby exposing the entire water trough making it easy to fill, and also into the future easy to clean if need be. The flow rate is great. There are 4 weep holes under the fill basin so all 4 are pouring filtered water through at the same time into the base fill container. So you can bring this over to the tap, set it at a moderately slow rate, and let it fill.

I have a Whirlpool refrigerator with water in the door that is filtered also but I have no way of knowing just how much water I drank that day. With this the guessing game is over. Also there are those in the medical community that prescribe no super cold fluids into your digestive system; it supposedly is not beneficial from a health standpoint. Of course even thinking about drinking room temperature water is out of the question. So I load up on the ice (which cost money to generate) and then pour the water into it. So here is another bonus; by keeping it in the refrigerator in this Filtrete pitcher you get cool refreshing water, but not so cold it is on the borderline of ice, and after your glass sits as you sip it, the temp moderates even more.

It looks good. It has a very appealing style. Kind of retro 2000. :-) If there is such a thing. In making a lightweight pitcher, they did not bury this in one inch thick plastic, so the comments about it being cheaply made are not wrong if you are looking for something to throw at the neighbor's dog when it gets into your garden, but is of sufficient quality for cool water in the fridge purposes.

I can't find anything wrong with it. I have had the top on and off several times, and it goes on without a whimper. The little pour cap that sits conveniently at the nose due to gravity is always ready to move out of the way when you want to make a pour. Of course buying replacement filters every month and a half goes with the territory. It says it gets rid of chlorine in the water. I have not done a scientific test to see how it compares to the Brita Pitcher systems, but I was thinking I may use the filtered water from the fridge door as a means to fill it, thereby giving me double filtration. All in all, no problems, good unit. If it gives me any reason to despair in the future, I will come back and edit this review. So far so good. Nice price, nice unit.

PS: Contrary to what I read from another reviewer, this pitcher fills up really fast. I did a spot check from empty and noticed the digital clock and it took less than two minutes but just under to fill it from the tap, so I decided to do a more exacting measurement of fill time. So I started the fill right at the begining of one minute, and at exaclty one minute and fifty-two seconds it was filled with filtered water right up to the top. You can easily fill this by turning on your tap gently, and matching the fill rate with the spigot flow, and then simply walk away. With my Brita pitchers it was always fill them up, wait until it filtered the first fill up, and then come back and refill the top tub as well. You always had to have the whole top segment of the pitcher empty that way, and that takes up more space. With the small tub on top, and simply matching the water flow is more efficient use of valuable fridge space. Mind you I think Brita pitchers are great too.
