This is a sharp looking water pitcher, however it is not designed very well.  We have really terrible city water, so I'm always looking for good water filters.  With how this one is designed it will become moldy very quickly.  We also have some water testing strips, so we decided to test our water before and after using this filter and it didn't seem like the filter made any difference because the strips were virtually the same.
I think if you cleaned the filter after every use and let it dry out you might prevent mold, but that is not very convenient.
