green = alge (but that would be weird)

IS it in sunlight?

that's what we have as well. they rock. we used to have one of the big 2 gallon or so ones that stayed in the fridge, but the pitchers are so much more convenient.

I just wish they filtered faster.

I am definitely going to get one of those for my desk at work. The water there isn't too bad but it could improve.

Clean out the pitcher and try a new filter. You may have just hit on an anomaly.

You're so cute, sometimes. I hope you aren't bald, because I just want to tussle your hair.
