Yup what they flush in Cumberland or Harper's Ferry Maryland is what we get served to drink in the Nation's Capitol. During dry Summers the faucet water gets visibly cloudy and even smells, really disgusting. Your choices are to buy bottled water or use a good filter. Being urban I do not have a car so I have to carry everything from the grocery. Bottles are a nuisance and expensive. And aren't those plastic bottles some kind of oil petrified in a state hat doesn't bio degrade well anyway? So I use filters. I have Britta and PUR. With Britta I have to guess when they are used up plus half of the Britta pitcher is the "drip tank." So for the given volume you get half as much water. The faucet mounted PUR is handy and has a light to indicate when it is used up. How does it know? Anyway both are not inexpensive and both result in tossing more...

See Products Related To Kishu Charcoal - Activated Charcoal Water Filter for Pitchers: Kishu Charcoal Kishu is a simple stick of activated charcoal which is made by heating branches of sustainably harvested white oak trees in hand-made kilns. The resulting glass-like material gives it an amazing ability to absorb toxins in water. Kishu also imparts good-for-you minerals. One stick lasts four months after which it can be reused as a deodorizer or broken up and used in the garden as bio-char.

This filter would clear up the treated taste after sitting in the water for about 3 days. Yes, it worked, but took much longer than I preferred.

Would choose it over Brita filter, but some drawbacks... I love the plastic-free natural simplicity of the charcoal stick filter, and eco-friendly compostable packaging a big plus. From the photo, I expected 2 sticks in one package (and somewhat larger sized), but it is just ONE stick (as description states). My stick broke in half after 1 day in my glass water pitcher, just from being lightly knocked around from pouring water out. There is some charcoal dust in the water, which is harmless.. perhaps a result of the stick broken in half. The downside is that this size stick only filters 3.75 cups of water, with an 8 hour waiting period for optimum results. So one pot of tea and then you need to wait 8 hours to enjoy more filtered water. Kishu: $13+$5 ship=$18 each, needs replacing after 4 months according to package, (not 6 mos as description says on amazon). vs. Brita filter $5 each (when bought in 3 pack) every 3 months. I have tossed my Brita, as I'm trying to eliminate plastic in our home. The Kishu stick would...
