What the Brita Pitcher with Longlast filter removes

"Certified" means a certifier (NSF, WQA, IAPMO or CSA) lists this exact product for that reduction claim; the listing is linked. "Brand test only" means Brita cites a lab report but no certifier lists the claim. See certified vs. tested.

Contaminant	Status	Evidence
Lead	Certified	WQA listing, NSF/ANSI 53 ("Lead")
Chlorine	Certified	WQA listing, NSF/ANSI 42 ("Chlorine (taste & odor)")
Mercury	Certified	WQA listing, NSF/ANSI 53 ("Mercury")
Microplastics	Certified	WQA listing, NSF/ANSI 401 ("Microplastics")

Not verified, either way (no certification or brand claim): PFAS, Chloramine, Fluoride, Arsenic, Nitrate, Chromium 6, Cysts, VOCs, TDS, Bacteria and viruses, Iron, Copper, Uranium, 1,4-dioxane.

What it costs to run

Yearly cost = replacements per year × filter price, for each filter it uses; a filter is replaced at its gallon rating or its month limit, whichever comes first. Water use: drinking and cooking water (0.28 gallons per person a day, EPA's average adult intake).

Household	Gallons a year	Filters a year	Total a year	Per gallon
1 person	102	$34	$34	33¢
2 people	204	$34	$34	17¢
4 people	409	$58	$58	14¢

Per-gallon costs in the table are for real use, so they also count any filter replaced at its month limit before it reaches its gallon rating. At rated filter life alone, filters cost 14¢ a gallon (the figure at the top of this page).
