Installing a Brita filter with a PUR adapter on a vanity sink

Brita includes a worthless plastic adapter so I needed to instead use an adapter that came with a PUR filter.

Most aggressive pitcher water filter?

I’m looking for a pitcher water filter that will filter out the most contaminants possible. I was looking to purchase an Aquasana countertop filter for my apartment kitchen sink, but the ridiculous faucet/sprayer combo that’s on it won’t take a countertop filter. I don’t want to install an under-sink model, because it’s an apartment and I’m not interested in making that investment for something I move out of.

I’m skeptical of the Brita and PUR pitchers, they don’t seem to do much except improve taste. I’m not worried about taste – my water tastes fine – but our city water tests poorly (high levels of chlorine, higher levels of pharmaceuticals and medicines, high in metals).

Any suggestions? It’s hard to find unbiased review just looking through websites…

Does Pur make a filter for the Brita "on tap" water filter system?

I am asking mainly to see if there is a three stage filter instead of Brita’s 2 stage "on tap" filter.
