Gah . . .. (Brita water pitcher broke!)

[Schadenfreude]

My water-filter-pitcher thingi broke . . .. More specifically, I have a huge crack on the part where it holds all the faucet water so it goes through the filter - I don't want to shell $20 for a whole new pitcher, so is there a replacement part I can buy?

Blue part on this thing is cracked

Welcome to the club, mine broke too. Brita, pssh, more like Brittle.

Pur water filters owns you!

 

[Spoooon]

That's funny. That's where my old one broke also.

:Q

Woah, looks like I'm not the only one here where it happened!

 

[Kadarin]

Bah.. I just drink tap water and have faith that my immune system will hold out..

 

[Schadenfreude]

So is there any way to replace this part? I have two other filters sitting there, and unless I can use them in a PUR filter, I'd hold out for a little while . . ..

I take my 2 5-gallon water bottles to the market every week to refill.

AH...the world is going to end!


Do those things really make the water taste better? I've never tried them.

 

[MisterPresident]

Not worth replacing just the part IMO. I doubt they even make them. I'd get a PUR filter for the faucet. Brita = Brittle, but I've never heard of anyon'es pur getting messed up.

I thnk they do - I'd get a PuR filter, but like I said, i still have 3 filters that I need to use . . . you guys think if I use epoxy to glue it together, it'd be okay? I'm pretty sure I won't be ingesting anything harmful . . . I hope?

My Pur broke, but then again, I dropped it 5 feet onto a tile floor.

Make sure the glue is dry first.

Anyhoo, my roommate said that as soon as water touches epoxy, even after it dried off, the stuff would almost immediately break down and I'd be drinking that stuff . . . any truth?

[Imported]
