Shop NowHow Hydroviv and Brita Pitcher Are Different
The Brita Pitcher is a convenient, no-install water pitcher filter that reduces common contaminants like chlorine through a gravity filter, with about 40 gallons of filter life. Hydroviv’s under sink water filter installs under your sink and uses customized, multi-stage media to address contaminants specific to your local water quality, filtering a broader set of harmful contaminants like lead, PFAS, arsenic, VOCs, chlorine and more.
