We are getting ready for a hurricane and it's time to store water. But even if there wasn't a hurricane to tend with, there's always camping and hunting days out in the woods where water is not always the purest or is non-potable. It would be nice if Clorox made water purifying tablets that made water drinkable &/or usable for cooking (i.e. maybe even after running through say the Brita filtration pitcher!)

I have the every Day Pitcher, is what support at Brita told me and my idea is to make a flap for the spout to keep out dust and dirt when it is sitting on the counter. Brita made a very tight cover for the unfiltered water that to me doesn't make any difference, because it is going to get filtered into the lower section, but the spout has NO cover at all and dust and dirt (which I have a lot of here in the Arizona desert) that comes through the window screens can contaminate the filtered water. I think that some of the models have them, but everyone of them should have a spout cover in he name of health. That's my suggestion, and I think it is a good one, as I don't know anyone that wants to drink or prepare food with dirty water. Have a Great Day and thanks for your time.

Good hydration is extremely important for a healthy pregnancy and postpartum period. Water flushes waste products from the cells and aids in liver and kidney function for both mom and the baby. During pregnancy, water is also needed for the body's expansion as mom's blood volume increases significantly. Insufficient water intake can be a factor in constipation, preterm labor, and miscarriage, and even slight dehydration can cause or contribute to fatigue. Proper hydration is also important for adequate breast milk production and flow. 6 million babies being born every year.

I would love to get flavored water out of my brita filter.

My Mom is 92 and loves her Brita filter pitcher.  It is too heavy for her these days.  The refigerator storage box type needs to be removed to be filled.  My idea is that from the solid lid there were a pull out funnel and a brightly colored  pop-up indicator showing a full tank.  This type of system, with a capped funnel, would allow the use of the existing tank and filter system .  The development would be limited to a new lip with funnel and pop-up filler alarm.  Silicon would be a durablmanye material that would provide years of use and the sale of witch is how I believe you make your money. The filler alarm could be made with a simple folation system.  I hope this wins me the $1,000 bucks and leads to the product being developed.
