What this jug is like to live with
What the Brita Stream actually removes
Taken from the manufacturer’s own reduction claims, with the evidence level stated.
Reduces
Does not reduce
Listed because it is the more useful half. Every cartridge on the market reduces chlorine taste; what separates them is what they leave behind.
Independently audited against a named standard by a certification body such as NSF, WQA or IAPMO, with the listing published and the factory subject to inspection. This is the strongest claim available.
Buying the Brita Stream Rapids itself
For anyone here to replace the jug rather than the cartridge.

Brita Stream Rapids questions
Which filter fits the Brita Stream Rapids?
The Brita Stream Rapids takes the Brita Stream cartridge, which is what it ships with.
No other cartridge family fits this jug.
How often does the Brita Stream Rapids need a new cartridge?
The Brita Stream is rated at 40 gallons (151 L) · 2 months. That figure assumes average water — in a hard-water area the ion exchange resin is exhausted sooner, sometimes considerably sooner.
Volume is the honest measure rather than the calendar. A household of four reaches the rated throughput far quicker than one person does.
Can I use other Brita filters in the Brita Stream Rapids?
Stream pitchers take Stream filters and nothing else. If you have bought Standard or Elite cartridges for this jug, they will not fit.
How much water does the Brita Stream Rapids hold?
Capacity is 10 cups.
