The Chrome Smart Pitcher augments the traditional Brita filtration system with a bit of electronic enhancement and a stylish redesign. The device features an electronic change indicator with an illuminated four-bar display, which notifies the user when it's time to add a new filter. When the final bar disappears, the filter needs replacing (a period of about two months). The bar system replaces the yellow dial on previous models. The Chrome Smart Pitcher also departs from the traditional Brita design by employing a trendy chrome finish along the top, giving the pitcher a contemporary feel that complements most modern kitchens. Brita pitchers are considered necessities in many households, as they eliminate 98 percent of lead from drinking water, and reduce copper, chlorine, and sediment. This particular pitcher also includes a flip-top lid for easy refilling, a contoured handle for comfortable handing, and a streamlined body that fits conveniently in the side doors of most refrigerators. The Brita Chrome Pitcher operates off a non-replaceable sealed battery designed to operate for approximately five years.
