Brita filters use carbon to absorb chlorine and chloramines. It removes the foul taste and smell from chlorine that tap water has to prevent bacteria growth.

So unless Popov has a chlorinated taste, or some other impurity that carbon will absorb it probably won't do much.

By the way try a temperature controlled TDS meter on the water before the Brita filter and after. The readings will be the same. It doesn't filter dissolved solids at all. You need an RO filter for that. You can get those meters for around $15-$20 online if you're interested in water quality.

Activated carbon adorbs lots of impurities, and possibly anything that codistills with the water/ethanol azeotrope, so it might be beneficial, but I recall a test that didn't show much difference. Point being, activated carbon works for.much more than chlorine and chloramines.

They did this on Mythbusters and found that running it through a Britta filter had no effect.
 
I'm simple, I like a good baked potato. Throw one in my toaster oven, steaming hot with some butter and pepper. I'm set.
 
Man... I really need to get a french fry press and one of those Fry Daddy mini deep fryers. My parents used to have one of those, and they made some awesome fresh french fries with it.

If I'm going to try Mayne's potato and beer diet, I'm going to need one of those to make it work!
