Using Brita Filter for aquarium

Brita "pitcher" filters reduce copper, mercury, zinc, chlorine, cadmium, lead, asbestos, and benzene, as per their User Guide. Most of that stuff should not be in your tap to begin with. I cannot find any claims to lower pH.
 
No argument with any of the above. That is why we switched from Brita to Zero Water https://www.zerowater.com

My answer was: it's expensive and I have no idea how they lower pH. Maybe for a 10g? What is the throughput of those $50 systems?

There multiple alternatives for larger water volumes, none are that cheap or convinient.
