I replace my Brita filters about every 4 weeks (not 8 like they recommend) since we use the pitcher a lot.
Last time I replaced it about a week ago, and like usual it flows faster and gets slower over time. But this one, one week later, it's already clogged, the water barely drips. It takes 10-15 minutes for one refill to flow through. WTF??? defective filter? contaminated water?
Please report your estimated distance from Fukushima and I will offer an opinion on contamination.
We probably replace our Brita filters every 16 weeks instead of 8 and even then we usually only have to wait 5 minutes or less. We're pretty high-volume users as well. By week 12 or so I wonder if we're filtering out much but the water still tastes better than tap.
