You have probably seen Brita pitchers on store shelves your whole life. But the Brita home water filtration system that most households rely on today looks very different from that simple pitcher in the fridge.
Brita PRO, available through certified installers, brings whole-home and under-sink filtration with NSF-certified components and technology designed for serious water quality results.
Difference Between Pitcher Filters and Brita PRO
Many homeowners begin their water filtration journey with a pitcher filter. While these systems can improve the taste of drinking water, they only address a small portion of a household’s water needs. A Brita home water filtration system from the Brita PRO line offers a more comprehensive solution by treating water at the point of entry or directly at key fixtures. This means cleaner water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and everyday household use. Understanding the differences can help homeowners choose the option that best matches their lifestyle and water quality goals.

What Brita PRO Systems Are Available in Colorado?
There are several Brita PRO products designed for different needs. Here is a breakdown:
Brita PRO Whole House Filter (NRV)
This system connects to the main water line. It reduces chlorine throughout your entire home. All materials are NSF/ANSI Standard 44 certified. The non-regenerating valve design includes a bypass for easy installation and servicing.
Brita PRO Whole House Catalytic Carbon Filter
A step up for homes on city water that uses chloramines instead of chlorine. Catalytic carbon is specifically designed to break down chloramines, which standard carbon filters cannot fully address.
Brita PRO Under Sink Filter
A targeted solution for kitchen and bathroom sinks. The 10-inch under-sink filter handles PFAS, chlorine, chloramines, and lead. It installs on the cold water side of your existing plumbing and does not affect water pressure noticeably.
Brita PRO Tankless Reverse Osmosis System
This is the gold standard for drinking water. It combines micron filtration, carbon filtration, and membrane-based reverse osmosis technology. The result is water that is free from a wide range of contaminants. And because it is tankless, it takes up far less space under the sink.
Brita PRO Sanitary Twist-On Reverse Osmosis System
Another RO option with a twist-on filter design that makes maintenance easier. It uses the same multi-stage approach: micron, carbon, and membrane filtration combined for high-quality output.
Brita PRO Microbiological Purifier
For households concerned about viruses and emerging contaminants like PFAS, this under-sink unit removes 99.999% of viruses. It goes well beyond basic filtration.
Who Should Consider a Brita PRO System?
A Brita PRO home water filtration system is designed for homeowners who want more than basic water filtration. This water filtration system makes sense if:
- You are on city water and notice a chlorine taste or smell
- Your dishwasher or showerheads have hard water buildup
- You want to address PFAS or lead concerns specifically
- You are tired of buying bottled water or refilling pitchers
- You want a whole-home solution that requires minimal day-to-day management
Why Professional Installation Matters?
A water filtration system is only as effective as its installation. Even the most advanced filtration technology can underperform if it is not properly connected, configured, and matched to the home’s water conditions. Professional installation helps ensure that the system functions as intended and delivers consistent water quality throughout its lifespan.
Licensed installers evaluate your plumbing setup, water usage patterns, and water test results before recommending a solution. They can also identify factors that may affect performance, such as water pressure, pipe condition, or specific contaminants present in the water supply. Proper installation protects manufacturer warranties, minimizes the risk of leaks or operational issues, and helps homeowners get the full benefit of their investment. For long-term reliability and performance, professional expertise is an important part of the process.
