So, the filter in the Brita Tahoe 10 Cup Water Filter Pitcher generally lasts around two months, or about 40 gallons of water—whichever comes first, according to the manufacturer. This helps make sure your water stays clean and tasty.
The pitcher has a smart light indicator that's supposed to remind you when it's time to swap out the filter. But, based on our research, some folks have run into issues with the light not working properly straight out of the box. This leaves some confusion about whether it needs battery changes or not.
Unfortunately, it's not clear from the product description how this light is powered or if you can replace the battery.
If you do have trouble with the smart light, it might be good to check the manual or contact Brita's customer service for help. They should be able to tell you more about whether any servicing or battery changes are needed.
Aside from the smart light, most people find the pitcher easy to use, though there have been some reports of other issues like handle breaks. It might be worth keeping an eye on that, especially since those issues could be covered by the warranty.
If problems crop up that you can't fix, Brita's customer service might be the best route to get it sorted out.
Just a reminder—whether that light works or not, it's a good idea to change your filter every couple of months to keep your water fresh and clean.
