Mavea Water Filtration Pitcher

I’ve been using a Mavea water filtration pitcher for around a month, and I couldn’t be happier. As evidenced by the shot of my fridge, all I do is drink water, and this makes it delicious. The design is pretty rad too, with four rubber corners on the bottom for supreme traction and sleek lines all around. Mavea pitchers are made in Germany by the company who sold the Brita naming rights to Clorox years ago, so if you want some luxury filtration with no bleachy associations, look here.

Mavea 1001125 Elemaris XL Water Filtration Pitcher, black

The MAVEA 1001125 Elemaris XL Water Filtration Pitcher showcases an innovative, easy-fill design that is activated by water flow. Soft, rubberized accents make this nine-glass pitcher comfortable to hold, and they prevent scratching or sweating on tabletops and counters. This new generation of filtration also features a unique Smart Meter filter change indicator that tracks water hardness, water volume, and length of use.

Good Tasting Water makes Good Tasting Tea

Everyone knows that tap water tastes horrible. That is, of course, unless all you drink is tap water and you get used to the taste. For everyone else, the choices are drinking bottled water or filtered water from your own water lines (or tap). Julie from Inspired Water sent me some links to a fairly new tap water filtration pitcher but before I mention any more about it, I'll let you in on some of my experience.

Home Water Filtration Systems

When I bought my previous house in 1994, the first thing I did was to have a full-home water filtration installed. The cost was over $3,000, but that cost included a large multiple stage filter (motorized, it used salt to clean the filters) in the garage, a reverse osmosis unit under the kitchen sink and all parts and labor.

The water supply to the garden hoses, to the laundry room, to the bathrooms (we had three) and to the kitchen sink were all filtered by the unit in the garage. The reverse osmosis unit under the sink was fed the same filtered water. There were two faucets on the sink. One was for the regular, filtered tap water and the other was a smaller faucet for the pure drinking water produced by the reverse osmosis unit.

Mavea Water Pitcher
Ditch those awful plastic water bottles for good and switch to this sleek pitcher designed by the great folks at Mavea. It’s stylish enough to make a statement on your dining room table and the revolutionary design will take the guess work out of knowing when to replace the filter. No pre-soaking required, it fits in your fridge door and the micro-screen smart meter even measures water hardness, which can prevent limescale buildup in your appliances, and water volume. This eco-friendly company will even recycle your old water filters AND pay for the shipping. How cool is that? The thing I loved most about this water filter is its five glass capacity.

Mavea Water Pitcher Review

I have always wanted a filtering water pitcher.  When Mavea agreed to send me one of theirs for review, I was excited.  I opened it as soon as I got it.  Setup is very easy. You just need to install the filter and fill.  I love it! The design is awesome.  There is rubber on the bottom which is wonderful for non-slip.  It has a blue tint and has a very modern look to it.  The water tasted very fresh according to my husband.  I will be using this everyday (probably 5 times a day) from here on out.  Thanks Mavea!!
