Water pitchers can be a valuable addition to almost any fridge, especially if yours doesn’t have a built-in water and ice dispenser. They’re great for filtering and serving not just water but other popular drinks to mix at home, such as lemonade or iced tea.

And the filter will do its job effectively for 150 gallons worth of water poured through, compared to the usual 40 or so gallons for the average water pitcher filter you buy at the store. That’s the equivalent of filling over 400 standard-size sports water bottles before you have to replace the filter.
