It’s mid-August, which means that summer is nearly over and school is almost in session. For college students who live on campus the transition from the comfort of home to the dorm room can be quite difficult. The transition is also difficult for parents who have to make sure that their young scholars are prepared for life on their own. While it’s important to remember essentials like soap, toothpaste, towels, bed sheets, and clothes, here at Filters Fast we’ve compiled a list of back-to-school items that you may not have thought of or even anticipated.

1. Brita Pitcher “Slim Model” Water Filtration System

Students living in a dormitory on campus may not have continual access to water in the way they do at home. A Brita Pitcher allows you to fill up on water all at once and store it in your refrigerator.

Finding clean water is made simple with this pitcher filter that is affordably priced.
