I got this pitcher to help clear up our water. The town i live in is putting in water lines, and it briefly messed up our water supply. So i got the pitcher to help with that. It did as described. It removed sediment and cloudiness from the water. We will be using it at home untill the water clears on its own, then we plan to bring the pitcher camping and traveling with us. Its the perfect size to fit in my camping cooler.
