I actually bought a water filter about 2 months ago when I heard about the metals in tap water. It's so much better in terms of taste (it actually tastes of nothing, which is what I wanted rather than the overpowering nastiness of chlorine), and for some reason I actually drink more of the water now. The filter itself is just a standard carbon one that was really cheap. I checked Amazon reviews for it, and it got the same positive feedback as Brita filters.
