Hi there. I have a problem, I hate the smell of chlorine in my water! I know there are pitchers with filters in them, but they are a pain. I mean, the Brita one I have to fill up so much and I have to replace the filter a lot. I don’t want to get some faucet filter that is just a glorified Brita that I have to change a lot and gets in the way but I also don’t want to have to pay big money to get a whole house filter and I don’t want to always be having to fill jugs and replacing filters every couple of weeks, what do I do?
Hi Betty.
It seems that you have three issues:
- You want to rid your drinking water of chlorine tastes and odors
- You and your family consume a large amount of drinking water
- You want something that’s reliable and long lasting and you don’t want to spend a lot of money or time on it.
What you need is a counter top filter. Counter top filters are the next best thing to under sink filters and whole house filters. These guys sit on your counter top and usually have quick connects to hook directly to your tap. They are convenient because you do not have to fill jugs, the filters are larger and last much longer and you do not have to do any plumbing work to install them.
I found one for you from Amazon.com that uses a carbon blog to remove chlorine tastes and odors, and lasts for up to 2500 gallons. The unit also has good reviews. Click here to have a look at this chlorine removal countertop filter.
I trust that this unit will meet your needs of a high capacity/low maintenance chlorine removal filter.

How to get tastier tap water

I live in New Hampshire. I know tap water is safe and all that but I just don’t like the taste! I don’t want to spend a lot of money or any at all if possible. I just like having glasses of water so is there anything I can do to get it to taste better?
Hi Martha
Sometimes poor taste/odor can be caused by the residual disinfectant left in your drinking water to keep it pathogen free on its way to you through the water mains. Often, simply keeping an open jug in the refrigerator will improve the taste. This is because over time the chlorine, when exposed to air, will work its way out of the water.
There are other things in the water that may contribute to poor taste. Harmless organic compounds, and sometimes algae depending on the time of the year and what your water source is. One of the best ways to remove foul tastes from tap water is to run it through an activated carbon filter.
For your needs of a few glasses of water a day, a pitcher type filter would likely be the easiest and most inexpensive way of improving the taste. I have compared two popular brands, Brita Vs. PUR. You can read that article by clicking here: Brita Jug vs. PUR Jug.
I hope that helps.
