You may be helping a lot of people to save money and keep healthy by answering and share your experience using Brita filters.

I found that Brita Filter replacement cartridges and similar products are extremely expensive. Not mention if you have to pay for the water+sewage as well in your monthly utility bill.

1. Is it good for pregnant woman to drink water filtered by brita instead of buying bottled/distilled water?
2. Is brita filter cartridge contains only activated carbon, what are the white/cream particles inside?
3. Is it easy to regenerate just by boiling it, or you have to reactivate the carbon by baking or burning it?
4. Can you replace the carbon with regular activated carbon (with the same particle size)?

It depends on what you are wanting to filter out of the tap water. Do you know if your tap water contains an elevated level of lead or other heavy metal or chemicals other than the chlorine added in water treatment? If not, I suspect that most filters are very effective far beyond their recommended capacity, since that is based on the worst possible level of contamination in any water system. If you want to test this, use the filter for a while beyond the recommended replacement date, and test the water for chlorine with a swimming pool test kit. If you don't have a pool or know someone with one, call local pool maintenance companies & see what they would charge to test it for you. I am quite certain that there is no way to regenerate activated charcoal/carbon.

The truth is that TAP WATER is just fine in most communities. State laws regulate frequent samplings, inspections and reports on the content of our drinking water.

Lugging in jugs of bottled water to drink in your house is simply not necessary.

I'm looking for a good R.O. water filter that that doesn't require purchasing a replacement cartridge every few months. I currently use an Aqua Wizard, and I really like it, but I have to replace the filter every 8-10 weeks. What kind do you use, how much does it cost and how much are the replacement filters?

Wow, replacing filter every 8-10 weeks is too often. Are you using well water or city water. If city water, it should be every year. If it is well water, you may have too much sediment and in this case you need to change your sediment filter more often. Or best install a whole hole sediment fitler.

This place has one of the best bargain, have a look at it.

Also, there is much information on water filter and list of contaminants published by the government.

Oh another reason why your filter may get clogged up so fast is because you have very hard water, in this cause you need a softener... see here http://www.gtawater.com/assets/softener. htm

I've had a 5 gallon aquarium for one month now. I have about 3 too many fish that I am going to give away within a few days because I'm learning the hard way about overloading a tank.

The problem is that the filter cartridge (with the filter bag and carbon pebbles) was clogged and the water was not flowing through it. The water actually pushed up through the cartridge compartment and over the tank glass onto the table. I tried rinsing the original filter but that did not help at all.

I bought a new box of replacement filters and changed the entire filter (frame, bag, and carbon). I am doing some research now and found that it's not good to change the entire filter media.

How should I have done this so as to not disturb bacteria or stress the fish?

The Tetra filters with Bio-Bag that I know of have a foam cartridge too. This is where most of the biological filtration takes place. Is this an in tank version of the Whisper?
In all honesty, you will need to move away from that 5 gallon tank to get things right with the aquarium. 10 gallons is a challenge. Things don't get easy until you hit about 20 gallons.
