My old faithful
I also have one of the older models and have loved it for about 10 years...even the cats won't drink tap water anymore! I have purchased several for friends and family. I put it in the dishwasher about once a month and have had only sporadic problems with mold. It will definitely get you to drink more water.

Water Solutions for Large Families
If you have a large family and wish to encourage them to drink lots of water during the hot months, then you can't go wrong with the Brita Ultramax Dispenser. This wonderful convenience allows everyone in the family to fill up with ice cold water rather than sugary sweet soft drinks or soda. If is easy to use, but I recommend that only older infantren or adults refill the pitcher, as it is very heavy when full. I also recommend that you keep a two liter bottle of tap water in the bottom of the refrigerator so that you can use it to refill the dispenser with cold water, rather than luke-warm tap water; this keeps the water ice cold and the refreshment coming no matter how hot the day. The only drawback is that the refrigerator has to be opened to fill the glass and this can raise the base temperature of the refrigerator, but if the pitcher is close to the opening of the door, then the refrigerator
door never has to be fully opened and less cool air will escape. Young infantren should be supervised only until they get the knack of shutting off the spout and not leaving the refrigerator door open. Otherwise, this product pays for itself in the first month, filters included!!

Love this system, I have used it for 10+ years
This is a great system for keeping cold restaurant-quality filtered water in your fridge. I have used one of these for over ten years, both in and out of the fridge, and have never seen any growth of any kind. I bought the original model years ago, and then finally, it fell out of the fridge and broke, and I replaced it with this model, which is even better. Just fill empty water bottles for your own bottled water.
