SomaWater Filter Pitcher 10-Cup 102-10-01

I had one of these for many years, and used it on a daily basis, but someone knocked it over (accidentally), and it broke, I was so glad to see that I could still find a new one!

same great pitcher, but handle design is more robust and better design attaching to plastic pitcher (see pics to compare old and new handle design).need to buy new one because the poor design of original model, which was about 4-5 years old....the base of handle where its attaches began to crack and started to break away, repaired with some flex tape and loctite glue, got an extra year out of it but crack reopened again....time for a new one.pleasant surprise with new handle design, glad they improved it....only negative difference from old one is when pouring with full amount of water filtered it tends to glug, glug, glug and splash a bit more when water leaves the spout, but might reduce over time. (FYI i dont use the lid, find it inconvenient when filling to capacity, so might be less glug with lid on).Also hope the white rubber seal around upper lip of cone doesn't discolor as bad as the old one did over time, despite frequent cleanings and attempts to remove discolor with bleach pastes like soft scrub.overall love the new pitcher, highly recommmend (especially at a used price under $40, which this one was, practically brand new), just wish it were glass instead of plastic like the smaller pitcher, maybe one day Soma will make it out of glass instead.

We had the smaller one and it wasn’t enough to really last a long time. This one is the perfect size and the water tastes great.

La compre desde el año pasado, me funciona perfecto, te das cuenta perfecto cuando necesitas cambiar el filtro, el agua se ve y sabe diferente, lo único malo es q en los últimos meses el precio de los filtros subió como 400 pesos

I've been using the beautiful glass Soma water filter for more than 5 years, but purchased this skinnier plastic jug version so that I could fit it in the fridge.On first use, the taste was pure chemicals, I assumed there was a contaminant in the filter, and so I opened another filter, but with the same chemical results. I contacted Soma thinking there must be a bad batch of filters, but they just told me I was not prepping the filter correctly. They had no interest in taking back the filter and jug to investigate. Instead It was left to me. I took the bad tasting filter, and placed it in my glass Soma water jug, and the chemical smell and flavor was not present. The plastic jug was emitting the chemical taste and odor into the water, not the filter. Soma seemed unaware of this issue, perhaps it was a freshly manufactured jug and off gassing from the manufacturing process. I left it alone for 3 weeks, and eventually the chemical taste and odor disappeared.So be patient, it's a well designed jug that filters water rapidly and fits in the door of the fridge, but please don't waste your time with Soma support.Soma filters do produce nice tasting water, however the customer service leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
