AQUAPHOR Water Filter Pitcher Opal 12 Cup with 1 X B15 Filter - 145 Gallons Long-Life (Black)

Love this water pitcher. Easy to use, holds a lot of water. Keeps our coffee pot insides like new, extending its life and great to fill up our pets’ water bowls.

Amazing quality but the only complaint i have is how hard it to find the replacement filter.

I bought this pitcher on a whim. My clunky old 10 cup Brita was still filtering water just fine, but I didn't use it that much because it was heavy and felt awkward in my hand. I liked the look of this one, and really liked that I could put it in the dishwasher, and for the price I decided to give it a try. I love the shape of this pitcher and the fact that it looks like glass rather than plastic. The curved handle fits my hand better than the straight handle on the Brita, so it's much easier to pour. I like that the dial on top lets me know when I've refilled it enough times that I should change the filter. It's not scientific, it doesn't check the quality of the water, it just lets me know I've refilled it a lot since the last filter change. The lid fits very securely, I've never had it come off while pouring in the 8 months I've had the pitcher. The down side of that is the secure fit means it can be difficult to get it to snap on after taking it off for cleaning. I've found that if the inside of the pitcher and the receptacle inside are both dry the fit is better and the lid is easier to get on.

Easy to use, better meter for expiring filter. Water taste crisp and clean. Pitcher is unbreakable/uncrackable which is awesome. It fills much faster than Brita brand pitchers I've bought. Only thing I've noticed is that filter needs to be placed firmly in place, as if not it will leak unfiltered water into pitcher.

I love this pitcher. I’ve been using an old Britta for years and I needed a second one. This was a good buy and I am very happy with it. It is compact for its 12 cups and filters very fast. My favorite thing is how light it is an easy to fill. Filters are also easy to find and inexpensive. Overall, I would buy this again andI like it better than my Britta.

I live in semi-rural area with hard yucky water. The filter makes water taste so much better that I started drinking more. The pitcher has a lovely silhouette.

So cute and sleek. Expensive but I like it better than my brother pitcher. This one has an attractive oblong shape design that makes it look pretty on the counter. I also like that there’s a little Dial that tells you how many more “pours“ you have until you need to change the filter again. Looks cute on the counter and water tastes great.

My current Brita pitcher was like 8 years old and falling apart so it was time for a new one. Unfortunately most of the newer Brita pitchers don't have a spout flap anymore and they crack so easily because the plastic is really low quality now. We should start calling the company Brittle. Hah that was good lol. Anyway, Costco's Kirkland pitcher would have been my preferred replacement since they're way better quality than Brita and they still have the spout flap but they've been discontinued. At least in the U.S.. Canada still has them though. Yet another reason to hate Canada. After much searching I found the Aquaphor Opal. Visually it looks great. I love the more rounded jug design. The plastic for the container and the little tub that sits inside feel like good quality. Not super thick but they don't feel cheap at all. The lid could have been better. It's decent, not flimsy, but could have been sturdier. Just be careful when handling it. At least it has the spout flap. The pitcher is compatible with Brita filters. I don't like how you have to push down really hard to make the filter level and not look lopsided. It's a tight squeeze which requires two hands. Don't attempt to do it with the tub inside the pitcher. Take the tub out to replace the filter. Like another review stated, there's a slight flaw with the opening where you insert the filter. After inserting I find there's one spot where it will leak unfiltered water. If you rearrange the filter it will leak from a different spot. It's only like one drop every 5 seconds but you can clearly see it dripping down the side of the filter. It's not enough to change the taste of the water and the health risks are probably negligible, but it is a flaw. The other review said it happened with Aquaphor's own filter but not Brita's filter. This happened with Brita's filter. It's strange how it still leaks despite how hard you have to push the filter in and how tight it feels. It feels like if the hole for the filter was smaller by fractions of a millimeter it would be enough to fix it. I'm still using the same Brita filter from my old pitcher so I can't say how fast or clean-tasting Aquaphor's filters are but it's not any worse for the Brita filter. Also I don't think it's a 12 cup pitcher. At least the space for the filtered water isn't. I think they're including the reservoir that filters the water. I have a regular pitcher I use to fill water and pour into the filtered pitchers. I can pour more into the Brita than this one. I consider that misleading. I really like: the Aquaphor's design, it feels good to hold and pour, the slightly bigger size (12 cups vs Brita's 10 cup), the price is affordable, the quality feels pretty good. Don't like: the leaking issue shouldn't exist. I really hope they fix that. Implying it's 12 cups of filtered water when it's most likely filtered + unfiltered water is misleading. The filter insertion should be easier. And the lid could be a little sturdier. I give this a 3 out of 5. I'm keeping it but will contact Aquaphor to let them know about the leak problem.

Tastes perfect. No issues. Cleaver design. Love it

Bought this to replace a moldy Brita I was too lazy to try to clean, and so far I prefer this WILDLY. Not only is it cheaper (both the jug itself and replacement filters) but it just seems to do a better job? The water seems to taste clearer, it filters faster, the little thing that keeps track of how long until you replace the filter seems to work better... and it just looks nicer in my fridge, in my opinion. Absolutely a gem of a find!

Va super bien Aussi haute qualité que Brita en plus d'être moins cher! Tout va comme un charme!

This completely wipes out brita by far. It's quicker and most importantly it filtered out that nasty chlorine taste completely out of my water!

Water test Good
