I think bottled water bottles are usually PET, which is safe if kept from heat and not reused. This is a good summary of the 7 plastic codes.

Brita instructs you to replace every two months, but I usually forget and they sometimes last 6 months before it starts tasting like tap water again.

I didn't know about the different types of plastics! Interesting. Thanks for the info and the link.

Me being the massive cheapskate that I am, I would ride that Brita filter to three months every time!
