I have had a Brita one since October. Its gets filled at least twice daily, and its only one its 2nd filter. Its prime use is to prevent lime scale in the kettle. For that, it does and admirable job indeed. About 5 weeks ago, lime scale started to build up, so I descaled it, and replaced the filter. No more lime scale.
I also keep a spare jug of water, poured from the filter jug, in the fridge for cold drinks. There is a difference in taste and clarity, even when the filter has been in use for 6 or 7 months.
With the cost of replacement filters, I shall carry on waiting til lime scale shows in my kettle, as an indicator to change the filter. Whether that is right or wrong, it works for me perfectly.
I live on my own by the way, so its mainly only me using it.
