Filtrete and Me

The new Filtrete Water Pitcher from 3M provides a convenient, space-saving way to get our kids to drink more water at home and saves me from purchasing expensive cases of bottled water for my family. The sleek design allows it to hold more filtered water while taking up less valuable refrigerator space than bottled water so I have more room for juice boxes, school lunches and snacks. And, filtering five times faster than traditional pitcher filters, the Filtrete Water Pitcher offers better tasting water in a matter of seconds so I can keep up with my busy schedule. Also, the filter lasts longer, filtering two and half times more water than traditional pitcher filters and lasting about three months.

In addition, Filtrete created Clear Advantages to help busy moms like me.

Most all of us have heard of Filtrete but if you're like me you automatically think of air filters. Well Filtrete is more than just air filters they also have water filtration systems. They have under the sink water filtrations systems, a water filtration station where you can fill up 4 individual bottles and a water filtration pitcher. I was recently blessed with the opportunity to try the water filtration pitcher. It is a 12 cup pitcher that easily fills through the filter in the top of the pitcher. The center of the filter also has a guage to let you know how long the filter has left. One filter should last approximately three months. This product came to me at exactly the right time. Shortly after receiving it I got sick with a stomach bug and since I've been better I haven't been able to drink sweet tea. It just doesn't taste good to me anymore. Since I am a true southerner it is really sad that I can't enjoy tea anymore but thanks to my Filtrete pitcher I haven't missed it and I am drinking water which is healthier for me anyway. I have never liked tap water and I still don't but the pitcher works great. It doesn't taste as good as bottled water but it is nearly as good and it saves me money and saves on waste in the environment so it is a win win situation! Hubby and I even did an experiment; we filled two identical glasses with water: one was straight from the tap and one was from the new pitcher. We left both glasses in the refrigerator over night so it could get good and cold and then we tasted them and it was unanimous that the filtered water was MUCH better. I really love my new pitcher and know it will be well used in our house.
