What do you recommend for a water filter that either fits on one's faucet or utilizes a pitcher?
Mine is in the fridge. It has a digital readout showing status of the filter and when to replace it, and believe me, it picks up the fridge odors.Moonbear said:I never had a problem with an in-fridge filter picking up refrigerator odors. The filter isn't actually IN the fridge, it's usually on the water line leading into the fridge. You do, however, need to change the filter periodically, which I don't think a lot of people know to do or bother to do, and that sort of defeats the entire purpose.

Donski said:I was first sold on having a water filter when my sister bought a goldfish and it died as soon as she changed the water. She took it back and the 2nd one died too. While the 3rd one was dying she ran out and bought one of the attach to the faucet type filters. When she put the fish into the clean water it lived. And to think I was drinking that crappy water for years before that.
Moonbear said:That's not crappy water, that's normal chlorinated water! All you needed to do was let the water sit out a day before using it for the chlorine to evaporate out. This is common practice for changing water in aquariums. Anyone's tap water will kill a fish.
