Claim 16:
17. A method for providing filtered fluid, the method comprising:
receiving, by a base, a pitcher such that a geometry of the pitcher is aligned with a geometry of the base in an aligned configuration, wherein the pitcher includes a lid, and wherein the geometry of the base comprises a protrusion configured to be slidably received by a groove of the lid in the aligned configuration;
detecting, by a sensor, whether a magnetic float coupled to the pitcher is within a detectable range of the sensor, the magnetic float configured to move responsive to a level of fluid within the pitcher;
causing, by a controller, a pump to transfer fluid from a fluid source to the pitcher when the magnetic float is within the detectable range of the sensor; and
ceasing, by the controller, transfer of fluid from the fluid source to the pitcher via the pump when the magnetic float is not within the detectable range of the sensor.
