If you’re mostly annoyed by that weird chlorine taste, a pitcher filter is your cheapest ticket to hydration bliss. You can snag a basic Brita or PUR pitcher for around $20 to $40.
But—and here’s the kicker—you have to buy replacement filters every two months. Those run about $6 to $10 each, so you’re looking at roughly $50 to $80 per year.
Is it a lot? No. But will you forget to change the filter and then drink "old filter water" for three weeks? Absolutely. (I’m guilty. Don’t judge me.)
