I've discovered that with the pitcher, I can't just fill ii, put the lid on, and put it in the fridge. The lid causes such a strong seal, that the water doesn't filter through. It's like a strong suction cup or something. It just sits in the reservoir. But if I fill it and don't put the lid on right away, it filters through. So, I have to wait before putting it in the fridge. Not ideal. And because of this, I'm missing my Clearly Filtered pitcher because I didn't have to deal with this issue, but I guess it is what it is. The taste of the water is definitely something to get used to
