See the science behind the materials in the Brita water filter; there is more to it than you might think. Can you hack a water filter? Is it worth trying to save some money by refilling a filter instead of buying a replacement? I answer these questions and more in this video about hacking a Brita water pitcher filter. You will also see some greatly magnified images of the material inside a Brita filter. Wait til you see the blow up of the ion exchange resin beads! Oh, and did I mention that there is silver inside? The silver has a very special job to do too!

This video builds on the "Inside a Brita Water Filter - a filter autopsy" video which can be found at this link: [ Ссылка ]

I feel it is important to point out that pitcher filter systems like this one are not intended to be water purification systems but rather a means to optimize your tap water. If you have concerns about potentially dangerous impurities in your water then you should seek a different solution immediately.

Note: this filter contains a unique type of activated carbon (aka activated charcoal) as well as an Ion Exchange Resin. Together these ingredients reduce water hardness, odor, poor flavor, some bacteria as well as some heavy metals. Please understand that reduction does not mean elimination!
