Overall, it changes the taste of the water for the worse, but it has been over a year since I started using the Brita, and now I am somewhat getting used to the taste.

If you are looking for filtered quality water without installation of pipes and various annoyances, as well as speed in a jug, here you are. I should also mention that a test was done with food coloring and it resulted in an extremely faint shade, and while my coffee machine needed descaling every month, I have gone over three months without the light turning on, so the water is definitely salt-free. Cheers to us.
