I use Brita, but I'm absolutely disappointed with it and I don't even know if it's worth for me to waste my money on it.
The other day there was yellow water coming from the tap, probably it has to do something with the construction outside. But I only noticed it while filling up my Brita jug, and guess what - it remained yellow after filtering it. I mean, no change at all. Not even slightly clearer, no. The same. And I use original Brita cartridges which are expensive af. I was in two weeks of usage that time, so the cartridge wasn't even near the end of its lifecycle.
The other part of my disappointment is that these Brita jugs are extremely brittle. The first one cracked on the bottom after one year, the second one cracked at two places also after one year (although the second one isn't leaking yet). And I have no idea why they crack so easily, it's not like I'm slamming them to the kitchen counter in any way. I'm actually quite careful with it, knowing how poor quality it is. Absolute garbage.
So I'm also seeking for a high quality brand, but I'm not ready for those reverse osmosis things, just a pitcher.
Most things won't get rid of color. Usually RO systems are needed for that. Does depend on what is causing the color though.
