I am asking mainly to see if there is a three stage filter instead of Brita's 2 stage "on tap" filter.

Pur and Brita filters aren't compatible. If you want a 3 stage, you'll have to get a Pur filter.

I drink tap water, so I was thinking of getting one of those water filter jugs. You pour the tap water into it and put it in the fridge. The water percolates through the filter. If my municipal water isn't particularly bad, what is the benefit?

Most public water systems are already filtered and treated for you. Some of them still have a funky taste though due to pipes, chemicals, or other outside influences. If you think that your tap water tastes funky, then a filter might do the trick. Though a water filter may not be necessary, it could provide a peace of mind knowing that your water is filtered at least twice :-)

Just remember that you will have to constantly buy filters every few months, so work that into your budget if it is something you are going to do.

Hope this helps!

I think that one should be able to make a simple water filteration system using bottles/buckets, sand, gravel charcoal, etc. to make reasonably clean tap water safer and tastier.Although I found some, I could not find the information that I thought would be readily available on the internet. Any suggestions?

Here is a simple plan, but I too would recommend purchasing a system myself.

Here is a much more complex DIY method.


Personally if I had the money I would buy a Big Berkey system, by far the best!

However, if that soesn't fit into your current budger I would personal recommend get a product made by PUR. I've had both PUR and Brita in the past and PUR is by far the superior product.

With a Brita filter, there is a small "guide" that tells you when you should change the filter, but it tracks it by time in use and not by how much you've used it.

Where as PUR filter literally tell you when it's time to change the filter. There is a small "button" that moves a bit after each use. So if I fill it three times a day or once a day, it will move a bit each time there is water run through it and when it's at the end, I know it's time to change the filter.
Where as the Brita filter just tells me after 8 weeks that it's time to switch the filter not taking into consideration how much the filter was used. Likewise, the water just pours right through the Britai filter, where as the PUR filter actually takes a solid 10 minutes to filter the water giving me a sense that it's actually being filtered, instead of just quickly run through a Brita fileter.

godd luck!
